Intuitive Leadership

Have you ever wondered what truly separates a good leader from a great leader? Haven’t we all watched in amazement at certain people as they almost aimlessly float to the top? In over 20 years of study, I finally understand that the primary characteristic that separates great leaders from the rest is intuition.

Some people utilize intuition with a sense of second nature, while most people don’t even believe in its existence. I have found that not only is it very real; it is available ceaselessly. To be a great leader, one must believe in and trust in intuition. In fact, we must even come to expect it!

Intuition is not knowledge. Intuition is defined as the direct knowing or learning of something without the conscious use of reasoning; immediate understanding. It is people who rely on knowledge alone that are constantly one step behind the competition, instead of setting the pace. Intuition is spiritual intellect. It is a tapping into the intelligence of the universe, not constantly relying on the way we have always done it!

Tapping the limitless source for intuition creates an open channel to inner peace. This stream of spirit is like a candle in a previously dark room, as it allows us, at least vaguely, to view the contents of the room and utilize the tools that had previously been obscure. Being out of the darkness allows us to move more fearlessly with less stress and self-doubt. As we continue to draw upon our sixth sense, we are building successful habits that will serve us well.

Next time you are in the presence of a true leader, reflect upon this message and evaluate for yourself the peace, the sense of fearlessness (no one is totally fearless, they just have learned to not react to it), the trust in their direction, and, most of all, the overall aura that great leaders project.

Many years ago I was told, “Don’t judge your insides by other peoples outsides.” This affirmation immediately became a template toward my observance. Faith is nothing more than at times, ACTING AS IF. When I walk through a problem, afraid or not, I still get through it and I come out the other side with the confidence that, I did it! Intuition is cognition and I don’t want to confuse it with experience, which is knowledge. Intuition knows and experience just allows us to see what is best for us.

The combination of knowledge and intuition is unbeatable; I beg of you to not judge what happens to you. Learn from what happens to you, file it in your subconscious and forget about it, as new experiences need an open mind if you are going to expand your new habit of intuition.

Your Life is PERFECT,
PAY ATTENTION!
Love,
Randy Ek

Re: Business Women Peer Mentoring Spotlight - Hi Everyone, Gosh, I REALLY appreciate your concrete feedback. This was far more than I expected and I'm glad you said what you thought straight out. Each of you have shared something of value and I want to take some more time to think and really go over what each of you have said. However, I can see there are some things I need to change right away. What an interesting point about a NEW program perhaps making people think they are guinea pigs! This is NOT what I want to convey! It's funny how we can see some things so clearly in others while not always seeing it for ourselves! I must admit there are a few things I've been meaning to change (like my bio which is very outdated). Obviously, these things need to be higher on my priority list. You caught me like the plumber who puts his clients first and doesn't get around to fixing his own tap! As far as my target market, I do feel quite strongly about working with Women Leaders and doing Leadership Coaching with them. It's non-negotiable in my books. In my Executive Coaching training, the terms "Leaders" and "Executives" are interchangable. To me, an Executive is a Leader and so is the Business Woman or Entrepreneur who is CEO of her own business. I love working with decision makers! What I did learn is that I need to avoid opening up the Leadership term beyond what I described above. I'm also wondering if there is a misunderstanding with the general public as to what Leadership Coaching really is. Leadership Coaching is all about developing your leadership skills, both as a people manager and in more effectively running and growing the business. There is ALWAYS room for growth in some way. As well, sometimes, we just need a sounding board to clarify what our next BEST step is. In fact, if a woman thinks she has nothing to work on, then we aren't a good Client/Coach fit anyway. How can she grow if she doesn't see the value of expressing ALL of the great ability within her? How can her company grow if she doesn't see the value of strategic planning for the next best level? Thanks again to you all! I will go back to my website and really question whether I am conveying the right message. I got more than I bargained for in this Spotlight... you generously offered way more than I was asking. I think we could be on to something great for the Forum. Now it's time to let someone else have the spotlight. It would be great if everyone took a turn! In gratitude, Tami

Why A Project Fails? - Hello Everyone As the size and complexity of ones business grows, so does their need to effectively manage projects. I have been thinking about the major reasons why a project can go wrong and my limited experience comes up with the following. 1 Leadership: A project manager with leadership skills and not just management skills. 2 Failure to (Foresee and) Plan 3 Failure to Manage: Ineffective change management control methods. Unclear decision making guidelines. 4 Talent: Finding, allocating and developing people 5 Scope: Setting an overly ambitious or amibigious project scope 6 Alignment: When projects are not prioritized in alignment with the business strategy, or project members personal objectives are not in tandem with that of the project / company 7 Lack of Candor: Communication Breakdowns I would be interested in knowing everyone's thoughts on this, especially on ways to overcome the above mentioned obstacles.
