• People Pillar - Who will be your “dream team” to get there?

Part IThe Purpose Pillar – “Draw the Dream”
• The first essential Business skill - skill of imagination
• “Drawing the Dream” – Describe the Business/Career of your dreams
• “Yea right sure, heard it all before”
• Grass is greener? Acres of Diamonds
• “Living” words with emotion and belief vs dead sentences disappoint
• “Cutting edge” psychological technique beyond “just get to work”
• Asking You Consider Writing Own “Bold Declaration Statement”

The Goal is NOT to Work Harder
The Goal is to work better and easier
A leader is made more whole, strong and functional by having a clear, defined and meaningful dream
Why census workers die early?
![Page 8: Make Me Feel Important!](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56814dcd550346895dbb272b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Challenges of Working and Living
Emotionally negative, distressed states
selectively produce rises in cortisol to accompany
the cardiovascular and catecholamine activation.
Therefore, cortisol may be specifically sensitive to
negative emotional states such as fear
![Page 9: Make Me Feel Important!](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56814dcd550346895dbb272b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Puts You in the Drivers Seat
“Emotionally positive, activating
challenges call forth increased
cardiovascular and catecholamine
responses without activating cortisol.

Gives YOU and the “Dream Team” a Game plan to Follow
Someone needs to cast the vision
People resist following those who do not know where they are going

Stupid is the germ of genius
How to get more great ideas from your team
“Your staff withholds 2/3 of what they are capable of contributing to your educational community in the form of talents, skills, experience, information and ideas. Apparently this is due to the fact that they don’t feel appreciated.”

Reward and implement and give credit where due
