23 Purpose Centered Leadership We each have an intended level of greatness that can only be manifested by gaining the clarity and focus necessary to discover and pursue our determined purpose. It is the pursuit of our determined purpose that motivates us to direct, command and guide our lives in the most effective manner Art Jackson - Mounting Up on Wings of Greatness

24 Principle #1 Have The Courage To Commit To Greatness The attitude of facing and dealing with anything recognized as dangerous, difficult or painful, instead of withdrawing from it; doing what one thinks is right. Webster's Dictionary

25 Courage To Commit It takes courage to leave the comfortable and risk free environment to manifest greatness. Courage - Some people are blessed with circumstances in their life that force them to manifest their intended level of greatness. It takes courage to have and maintain a big dream Most of us dream well below our potential We dream safe and possible

26 Courage To Commit Make your decision to leave the nest a final decision. Make a binding contract with your self. Until one is committed, there is hesitancy; the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. The moment one definitely commits oneself then providence moves too. Goethe

27 Courage To Commit Here s Your Main Question! Do you have the courage to begin Before you have the skill necessary to be successful?

28 Principle #2 Be Ye Transformed By The Renewing Of Your Mind A man s life is what his thoughts make of it Marcus Aurelius Roman Emperor

29 Be Ye Transformed To become the kind of person who manifests greatness, we must refuse to conform to the way things are but prefer to be transformed by renewing our minds. Ziglar Be Do Have We become what we think about Earl Nightingale A man is what he thinks about all day long Ralph Waldo Emerson

30 Why Is There A Need To Be Transformed? We re all born geniuses...but some of us get more brain damaged than others Les Brown Steve, stop before you fall and put your eye out

31 Why Is There A Need To Be Transformed? For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves 2 Cor 10:12 The opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice...it is conformity. Rollo May, Distinguished Psychiatrist The human race is fixed, not to prevent the strong from winning, but to prevent the weak from losing.

32 The Self-Fulfilling Belief Cycle We Form Expectations About Ourselves The Behavior Validates The Expectation We Communicate Our Expectations Through Self Talk We Adjust Our Behavior to Match Our Self Talk Buster Douglas vs. Tyson vs. Holyfield

33 It Is Your Thought Life That Supports Your Physical Life Whatever is going on in your life right now is going on because you have developed a thought life that supports it. When your thought life no longer supports the problems that exist in your life, the problems will no longer exist. If my thoughts are on abundance, then my lack has nothing to live on. Consider Your Simple Abundance

34 To Alter Your Life Alter Your Attitudes The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind William James The question is, can you become the kind of person who manifests his or her intended level of greatness? Develop an Attitude of Gratitude Practice smiling as a norm Practice happy thinking Close your eyes and contemplate a happy time Affirm your gratitude This is going to be a great day Count your blessings one by one If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth Mark 9:23

35 Principle #3 You Must Discover Your Determined Purpose I have brought myself by long meditation to the conviction that a human being with a settled purpose must accomplish it. Disraeli

36 There is one thing in the world that should not be forgotten. You may forget everything except that one thing, without there being any cause for concern. If you remember everything else but forget that one thing, you will have accomplished nothing. It would be as if a king sent you to a village on a specific mission. If you went and performed a hundred other tasks, but neglected to accomplish the task for which you were sent, it would be as though you had done nothing. The human being therefore has come into the world for a specific purpose and aim. If one does not fulfill that purpose, one has done nothing. Rumi

37 Discover Your Determined Purpose After you find your determined purpose, you will consciously and subconsciously move in that direction Your unique reason for being City Slickers Your tree at the top of the ridge Focus and direction Your piece of the puzzle Mozelle Archer People with goals exist Some of them even become successful But to manifest greatness, you must have a purpose

38 DO you must do before you can have. Zig Ziglar You must do the things others won t do in order to manifest the greatness that others won t manifest. Art Jackson

39 Principle #4 Synergize Your Calling And Your Vocation We must ensure that we don t allow the means by which we live to overshadow the ends for which we live Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

40 Synergize Calling and Vocation There is a difference between a vocation and a calling Pursuing a calling is living for high ends living for high ends is the divinest thing that can be seen on earth George S. Hilliard

41 Calling Vs. Vocation Calling (Ends) Vocation (Means) An inner urging An impulse Higher effort Effort for others The function one believes himself intended for A trade, profession or occupation Physical or mental effort to do or make something Effort for self The function one believes he/she chooses but what if I m in the wrong vocation?

42 Callings Organizer Visionary Leader Teacher Lead, inspire and develop organizations Interpret circumstances and envision solutions Assume responsibility for the welfare of a group; motivate, direct and inspire Communicates principles and new ideas Music and Crafts Creative capability to use hands and minds Exhortation Wisdom Knowledge Brings comfort, encouragement, counsel and inspiration Special in-depth understanding of the world and its operation Exceptional ability to understand complex ideas

43 Callings Serving Helps Willing to bear the burdens of others Willing to assist others accomplish their callings Administration Understand goals and direct others to their accomplishment Giving Mercy Faith Hospitality Healing Offer material goods to assist others accomplish their callings Exceptional empathy and compassion for others Exceptional ability to believe Willing to cheerfully offer comfort to others Restore health, compassion

44 Synergy Gr. Synergia; syn- together + ergon- work Working together to produce more The combined or correlated action which produces more than the addition of the individual parts

45 Synergy Multiplies 1 (Calling that is suited to you) + 1 (Vocation that is suited to you) 11

46 Great Joy - Great Need There is a great need for what you do. And doing it should be your great joy. If it isn t your great joy, why spend your life doing it? The Hermit On The Mountain Persistence is required All the way and then some sir Come hell or high water

47 Vocation Exploration Finding Your Perfect Work Paul and Sarah Edwards, Putnam Books 1996 How To Get What You Really Want Barbara Sher, Ballantine Books 1979 Rites of Passage, Executive Job Changing and Faster Career Progress John Lucht, The Victory Press 1993 Could it be possible that you are right where you need to be? In a vocation that is perfect for you?

48 Principle #5 You Must Develop Your Plan If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them. Thoreau

49 If You Plan On Being Great You Better Develop A Great Plan 10 Year Plan? College class of % < 95% combined Elements of a GREAT PLAN It must be balanced It must be in the right priority It must be simple

50 A Great Plan Is Balanced Spiritual Development Private/Family/Congregational Personal Development Reading/Lectures/Seminars/Classes/Physical

51 A Great Plan Is Balanced Service Achievement Family/Community Personal Achievement Financial/Corporate Decisions, not chance determines destiny

52 It s The Process That s Important Plans are nothing planning is everything Gen Dwight David Eisenhower

53 Make Sure You Plan For Improvement Continuous training Study your craft Improve proficiency with your equipment Study those who have already been successful

54 Principle #6 You Must Implement Your Plan There is no try there is to do or not do Yoda

55 Implementation We must sooner or later lay aside our plans and just get on with the work. Military plans We start right here at 0500 hours You don t have to be great to get started, but you have to get started if you ever expect to be great. Les Brown Sometimes the race goes to the swiftest sometimes it goes to the one that endureth to the end but it always goes to one of those who actually starts

56 Implementation We sometimes use fixin to get ready to avoid implementing I have spent hours fixin to get ready to call

57 The Implementation Principles Offensive Mass Maneuver Intelligence Unity of Command Boldly go in the direction of your goals Be Proactive You can t do it all, so choose, Next Best Thing Urgent Vs. Important Daily 1/2 Dozen Be flexible about your methods Firsts rounds seldom hit Expect to adjust fire Get as much info as possible, but don t get stalled What s controlling you really

58 The Implementation Principles Exploitation Tenacity Security Simplicity Courage Ask if you want to receive Your craziest idea just might work Maintain your goals much good work can be lost for the lack of a little more Never take a risk you can t afford to lose... The most effective plans are normally the simplest Leaders must have the courage of their convictions Do the right thing not the easy thing

59 The Implementation Principles Maintain a positive attitude - All the way and then some Overcome fear Follow the plan Commit Go after the objective daily primary targets secondary targets The harder right vs. the easier wrong
