LEADING WITH ENTHUSIASM

“I began to realize how important it was to be an enthusiast in life. He taught me that if you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it at full speed ahead. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good. Hot is no good either. White hot and passionate is the only thing to be.”

Roald Dahl (1916-1990);

CORE VALUES

Lie at the core of your personality.

How do we live our personal values, how do we live our shared values?

How do we deepen our awareness of the values of the people we serve? The people we lead?

TRIADS

When you have finished writing, create triads (small group of 3 people) and find a comfortable spot to sit.

Each person will have 3 minutes to talk about their “person” and their reflections of what this person brought to their life.

After 10 minutes, come back to the larger room.

WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF THE TRANSFORMATION I AM LEADING?

How will I be there? Sage or guide?

How will I know when change has occurred? What can we measure? Bright spots?

What are ways I can continue to lead the transformation? How do you encourage the Enthusiasm of

others? How do I renew myself as a leader?

What is or who are my teachers? How and when do I learn to “let it go” and

practice acceptance and adaptability?
