A Call to Health…
- Successful Leaders are in the habit of tracking numbers.
Whether it be their personal bank and investment accounts or perhaps business sales and financial numbers… we schedule time to monitor and make decisions based on this information. Operating in the red, is not an option for a strategic leader.
- Successful Leaders know how to take action. When alarms go off in our tracking systems, we know what steps to take and/or where to get help to turn things around and get back on track.
- Successful Leaders know the difference between Reactive and Strategic actions.
Leaders anticipate success by casting a vision, setting goals and implementing systems that report and monitor their progress. Sometimes results surprise us and we are forced to react quickly. Ideally, we have anticipated challenges and have a strategic back-up plan.
Let’s Kick it Up a Notch!
Rise above complacency!
Life hijacks >>> We react.
Sometimes we have a plan that prepares us for the unexpected.
Sometimes, we don't.

Breaking free from “Reactive” patterns!
Embrace a “strategic” approach to Break Free!
Overwhelmed by life’s rapid-fire challenges I found myself reading my own blog posts in search of an old friend. You see, I typically am inspired to write based on my own personal experience. Ah-ha moments are much like old friends – non-judgmental, they gently nudge me to make better choices.
Last Friday I resurrected one of my blog posts “Out of Order” published July 2010. I was disappointed to find that I had not continued to blog on how to make more strategic vs. reactive choices. Instead, I walked them out. Over the next few days, I'll share the steps that worked for me. In fact, I’ll be walking it out again.
Without inspiration the best powers of the mind remain dormant. There is a fuel in us which needs to be ignited with sparks. ~ Johann Gottfried Von Herder
Let’s start with this…
What will motivate us to break free? In July of 2010 I blogged about that very question: Ignite the fire that fuels your future.
So, let’s do that! Let’s light the fire!
Your assignment, if you choose to accept it, is to think of a time when you were so focused on your destination, there was nothing that could hold you back.
Notice….
- How did you spend your thoughts, your time or your resources?
- Who was influencing you at the time?
- How clear was your destination?
- How did you measure success?
- What habits contributed to your success?
- What challenges did you face?
Let’s meet back in a couple of days. Feel free to comment on the experience here on the blog or you can track with me on our Called To Action fan page. Let’s make this happen!
From Reactive to Strategic… We coach leaders to greater levels of influence!
