It is common wisdom that unless you can define what success is, you cannot set the right priorities for your life/career and become an integrated and successful leader. Having a clear picture of success is a necessary condition for effective leadership. For those of us who want to become leaders by choice we have a myriad of stuff to do on our list and could quickly lose perspective. Tasks tend to overwhelm us producing almost passive responses to daily events…
I am curious to know from you what your definition of success is and how do you manage to keep your focus on maintaining that perspective? Here are some questions that I have asked myself occasionally…..
- What is it that I want? Spiritual, Financial, Family, Mental, Social or Work/Career?
- What will I do when I have it?
- What aspects of my life do I have to change in order to obtain it?
- What must I do to have it?
