Achieved Strategies

Post by Becky Shook

While your actions are always judged by other
people, it’s not necessarily “what” you do as a
leader that makes a difference, it’s “who” you are
being that makes a difference.  What do I mean by
being?

Being is about “how” you do things, not the
“what.” As a leader, I may do a “right” thing like
recognize employees.  But, if I don’t recognize
with sincerity (a way of being), then the
recognition (the “what”) could be for naught.

Every day when I go to work, I focus myself on the
“way of being” that I believe will give me the
most happiness and success.  When I get too
focused on the “doing”, and less focused on the
“being”, I refocus myself back on the “way of
being.”

Do you ever get caught up in the “doing” where
later you realize you’ve stepped on other’s toes,
been less respectful, or been impatient?  If so,
then having a “way of being” at the forefront of
your mind will increase the speed to awareness
that you have strayed.

Share below the “way of being” that will work for
you today.

Me?  Being connected authentically is
the “way of being” that will carry me through my
week.
