Open Your Eyes and LEAD: Hardship and wisdom shape the best leaders in life
An alarming pattern has emerged in our modern workplace; employees have little confidence in their leaders. The unprecedented overlapping and colliding of priorities, combined with fast and furious deadlines have wreaked havoc and caused lack of engagement. Open Your Eyes and LEAD is a call-to-action, providing leaders with the development opportunity to make smarter decisions with better precision. In workplaces across the globe, people are asked to deliver quicker, better, faster, and cheaper results. However, when we are rushed for results, we tend to skim-coat our actions, leading to diluted, lower-quality efforts and mediocre outcomes. Those who are perpetually involved in fast and high-pressure situations feel tired, stressed, and become disengaged. Some even compromise their values by taking the low road instead of the high road just to get ahead or to stay ahead. Leaders who model integrity, fortitude, and nimbleness consistently create value and yield an impact that is far-reaching. Putting more emphasis on creating a positive culture allows for increased collaboration, creativity, and efficiency. When people are excited, motivated, and engaged in what they do – when they open their eyes as they lead, the result is a chain reaction of smarter decisions with better precision. Open Your Eyes and LEAD shows readers how to become this kind of positive force in the world, and how to balance and manage the omnipresent tensions as we strive for leadership excellence. This book is uniquely situated to be embraced by different audiences - those searching to gain a higher level of self-confidence, understanding, and personal advancement so that they can become mindful leaders in their own lives; current and would-be leaders in the employer arena who aspire to leadership excellence; and both undergraduate and graduate students who are training to be our world’s newest leaders.

Introduction

In today’s unprecedented environment, conventional leadership cannot take us into the future. We need to find new approaches if we aspire to dramatically increase our supply of self-aware agents of change. It is the design of Open Your Eyes and LEAD to offer us ways to embrace a change in leadership style that will undoubtedly impact us in every aspect of our lives. Open Your Eyes and LEAD cuts through the roles that we find ourselves in every day and offers us powerful tools to expand our frame of reference so that we can effectively balance the art and science of leadership.

Bold Moves

Bold moves require disrupting the status quo. They are often radical strategic changes. Breakthroughs happen when we are open to reframing the ways of the past. Revolutionary change is about doing what others are afraid of or haven’t even thought about doing. Rapid change is often more successful than gradual change because it gives rise to a deeper focus of energy. Doing your best will allow you to become your best. Those with a deep inner conviction, coupled with the courage for action, make bold moves a reality.

Nuggets of wisdom

Top 3 nuggets of wisdom from Chapter 2 | Bold Moves:

1. Making bold moves does not guarantee success.

2. We all face adversity. Those who focus on a brighter yet realistic outlook are more apt to regularly attain their goals.

3. There are certain essential character traits, both personal and professional, for success in accomplishing bold moves.

Struggling

Life is a monopolizing kaleidoscope of events. With that comes a mosaic of personal endeavors variegated in complexity. Temptations, trials, and tribulations impact all human beings no matter how much or how little fame, fortune, freedom, power, or fulfillment one appears to have. A homeless person may be thoroughly enjoying living with a sense of wonder while a multimillionaire may hate getting out of bed in the morning..
