Kingdom Leadership 2024- Building and Establishing Healthy Habits/ Rashea@LLO2 Academy- Leadership Edition
Mandatory or Optional?
Is building good habits mandatory or optional? Well, if you really want to improve as a leader, building good habits is mandatory. However, if you have no desire to grow as a leader, building good habits falls into the optional column.
I see many leaders who desire to be a good leader and want to have great power and prestige, but fail to grow and develop good habits.👀🙃 Good leadership and good leaders are the result of constructing and growing good habits. What is your growth plan?
What are you willing to change? What have you changed? Did you continue on progressing in the changes that you've made?
Hear me: Relapse leads to a collapse. If you regress from doing what is working, after making the necessary changes to experience productivity, you will cause your own failure. Discipline your mind to stick to the changes you have already made to see continual progress in your life and leadership.
Did you know that good habits in leadership are the result of having good habits in your personal life. Although we are taught to keep business and personal separate, you cannot keep good business habits separate from good habits you have outside of the office. Who you are as a person intertwines with who you are as a leader.
Character isn't a role or a position. Character is your attitude and personality. Character is your first mind and tendencies.
How you think. How you act. What you say.
Good habits reveal good character. Good habits reveal how your brain functions and how your mind processes and filters information. Good habits reveal how you organize and prioritize your life and leadership.
Some people do their job, but some people like doing their job. Some people only follow the rules, because leadership and the job requires them to do so. Others follow the rules, because they have organically built good habits to do so.
People who only follow the rules because they have to typically are totally different in their character and habits outside of the organization and office. People who follow the rules because they want to are the same in their character outside of the organization and office. Your character is a part of your DNA.
Good habits are cultivated not automatic. Good habits require yielding your spirit, soul and body to doing what is right, helpful and needful. You have to reset your psychological clock to think good thoughts and to build good habits (Romans 12:1-2).
Your proclivity shows how you are wired. Building good habits can't be an afterthought. Building good habits has to be your first mind.
What are you inclined to do first? How do you think when you are relaxed? Is your first thought to be organized or unorganized? Professional or unprofessional? Snap off or process the situation and then answer accordingly?
Good habits reveal how healthy you are as a leader. I know we think achievements, stature, status and success are the tell all for successful leadership. However, it's your character and habits that are the tell all for successful leadership.
You are not your role or position. However, you are your character and habits. Your character and habits are designed to help you in your role and position in leadership. Your character and habits can help you in leadership, or they can hinder you.
Building good habits is you saying to yourself, within yourself, "I want to improve. I want to be my best self." Building good habits is you prioritizing your life and putting first things first. Building good habits is your pathway to longevity and success as a good leader.
