Leadership! PPP to success! Passion, Persistence, Perception!!
What is the secret to an excellent leadership? Based on the 3P model from Lindsay Adams the most important skills are:
Passion
There is not leader without the passion for his vision, work, service and products! Anybody around, co-worker, partner, customer, can feel his passion and get inspired. A passionate leader shares his passion with his subordinates and inspires them for more action, more outcome and finally more success. Passionate leader gets partner instead of employees.
Persistence
If people really going for their vision, persistence is the natural consequence. All important invention’s came together with highest passion and persistence. Thomas Alva Edison, he was the inventor of the first practicable light bulb, said „Genius is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration.“. Leaders are challenged to proof every day their inability to give up and the ability to find the direction to succeed.
Perception
Do you know someone without perception’? Be happy! It was a new Buddha or somebody who is enlighten. We all have perception’s about situations, people, whatever. Our perceptions can be positive or negative and they really influence our subconscious. We don’t even know about that our perception influence our behavior. An excellent leader is aware about the power of perception and will give his attention to create the right perceptions in his team. It is much more effective changing the perception in a team instead of changing the behavior. The change of behavior creates no inner intelligence of the process. Changing the perception creates the inner intelligence for a permanent improvement process pushed by the team.
How to use the 3Ps?
Before your start become clear about your perceptions! Intense your positives and change your negative perceptions in the right direction. Than be passionate and persist but I would say, it is the nature of positive perceptions that passion and persistence follow them.
