How to be a Mindful Leader?  

Good morning, folks! I am Jin with Morning Mindfulness Podcast. Hope you’re having a wonderful morning! Let’s breathe and smile.

There are two things I learned about leadership that can make a difference between success and failure in any endeavor.

1 – We need leadership skills to be successful in whatever we do. Jim Rohn said, “Success is something you attract by the person you become.”
According to John Maxwell, Everything rises and falls on leadership.
2 – Leadership can be developed.

Hallelujah!

What it means, if you and I want to have a successful business, we need to work on developing ourselves first, and then developing a business. Even if we just lead ourselves. That was a part I missed, and I paid the price.

I wish I knew this a couple of decades ago.
I came into free enterprise system from a socialist society, and my ideas of a “real business” were quite inaccurate. I concentrated on the mechanics too much, and I overlooked the people part.

I was listening to one of my coaches, and he’s been in business for many decades. Very successful man. And he said, if you want to be a true leader and achieve a great success, you need to learn to make people decisions first, and then you stick with them and work your business around them. You don’t make money decisions first, because if you do, people will know right away.

It doesn’t matter what business you do. You may be a physician, a yoga teacher, or a restaurant owner. But the first question you may want to ask yourself, “How can my presence make the community better?”
Think about it! And I am actually preparing a workshop about that.

Also I can suggest a great book by John Maxwell called

“The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership”
