Leadership – A New Horizon
Leadership: Why Not Be Contented With ‘Good ‘?
Here at buildingateam.co.uk, we are captivated by extraordinary Leadership. We don’t accept that any Leader or organisation can remain contented with just plain ‘good’! Well, of course you can – if you would like to! Who are we to tell you what you need to or should not do? We have an opinion though, based on our experience and insights into some of the businesses that achieve ‘extraordinary ‘ things and those that do not.
We believe that ‘good’ is the nemesis to ‘extraordinary’! Lets think about it. All those places in your life as a leader and in your business that you would think of as ‘good ‘ – why bother changing them? If they work, they work right? How many times do I hear, ‘but we have done it like this for a long time, why go through all the upheaval to alter things? ‘ This is a mirage. But of course there’ll be many things you continue to do, that are worth keeping hold of and continuing with. There will be lots of others where it is time to let go.
This takes conviction, commitment and bravery.
I can tell you one thing though that is vital to learning and discovering about Leadership. No extraordinary leader, team or company became so by being satisfied with ‘good’.
Leadership: You could well go BTFI
What does BTFI stand for? BTFI stands for going beyond self-imposed restrictions and excelling yourself in the most committed and animating way.
Ok, so now you know what BTFI stands for.
At Buildingateam BTFI we believe and think that the number one way of playing is a basic; in-tune, in time, note perfect, thorough. The breakthrough comes when you're prepared to stretch yourself to play the second way; commitment, keenness, energy, fortitude, inspiration.
Leadership: Call to action!
Blogs are generally lovely things. Quite engaging on the whole – and a complete waste of our time if they do not empower you to take action!
So, when you are ready and you have finished this, go and read up about Leadership and Leadership Training. When you have done that, settle on a a plan of action to take that would be an illustration of playing the second way. That may be anything – the way you may present a piece of data, how you contribute in a forum,, how you choose to give some feedback and so on – go and decide now.
The essence of BTFI is that you take some sort of action, however little it may appear, and do it completely by giving all of you. Of course, the fundamentals need to be in place; an end result, good target for the others involved, free of judgement and so on.
