Our vision of leadership is. To the sum of knowledge, experiences and choices we are based for It defines us, shaping our thoughts, our decisions and actions. It's how we perceive ourselves and situations as we can, the relative importance of things, and the importance of relationships with others and determine everything around us.
Intelligent managers tend to the world through colored lenses, distorted or limit your view to see what influences their decisions and actions. Some have a perspective that is closely aligned with short-term goals, the deepening of the depth of knowledge in their field. More intelligent leader allows, by focussing on a broad long-term vision that distinguish between the different models and see how it will help them be successful out. Both perspectives are limited.
If you remove the lens, intelligent leader can have a broader perspective. By "smart" your perspective and cultivate practical wisdom, but can lay the foundation for a leadership style that is as effective.
What the leader's perspective is wise? Wise leaders are able to constantly rethink and re-interpret events through integration, and find new meaning in a rapidly changing environment. Led by a noble goal, the development of a strong flexible mentality and cause them to act with wisdom and influential leaders are making.
As the market leader in intelligent perspective perspective wise leader, the world begin differently. Here are six ways to do this.
Be aware of your limits and exceed them.
The management of Allianz Global Investors, a private global asset management, directed at a workshop entitled Dialogue in the Dark, by teachers who are visually impaired that. Workshop all in total darkness The aim of this experiential learning program is to change the vision of the leaders in order to realize their limits, while increasing the empathy for others. What is your greatest limitation of today? How have you overcome and how?
Learn despair and revelations of ignition.
Despair lead to higher revelations, so be careful of what your next crisis should learn more about the prospect. While in a German concentration camp during World War II for three years, Victor Frankl on the day, although the Nazis tortured his body, he could had no control over his soul or spirit. This change in perspective has helped to survive and to encourage the improvement of their occupants to take control over their own thinking, to take. What fear, desperation is high, you try to run? How can you make sure so that you can on the other side of despair and go to discover something new?
Law inspired by conversations or books.
The CEO of a major technology company, participated in a discussion-based services organizations, including the Karma Kitchen generosity base where everyone can eat for free in exchange for pledging the restaurant voluntarily in the future. He was so out of the conversation, he was in his place and went straight to the hospital to spend four hours at the bedside of her 80-year-old neighbor inspired. When was the last time I was inspired by a conversation or a book? What steps have you taken?
Take an extreme external rotation of the comfort zone.
Get out of your comfort zone is a quick way to experiment in the direction of a new perspective. In spring 2000, to the Court's decision in the antitrust case against Microsoft Bill Gates decided to leave his position as CEO and. Their passion for software This shook their positions and in the same year Bill Gates and his wife founded the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, with its leadership in an important new direction. If you keep the old settings and impractical? Extreme extent that you can take to try and behave differently?
Get rid of your old glasses and looking through different eyes.
Sometimes a change of perspective is really so simple, as you can see, what is there for you. When Alan Mulally took over as CEO of Ford, the company has been losing market share and facing huge losses due to increased competition and globalization. One day, suddenly noticed while walking in the parking lot at the headquarters of Detroit Ford, Mulally combining brands Ford was no corresponding attribute in the form or style. That moment of clarity led to his portfolio of 97 models Ford reduce bloated only 20 years, the sale of Jaguar, Land Rover and Aston Martin concentrated in the process, and small cars more efficient. What is necessary to unlearn "and? To a stronger focus on, what you can do, very effective and successful

Ophthalmologist Dr. Venkataswamy and V, a revolutionary method to treat blindness in India by studying McDonald.

An effective way opponents think
When the scandals rocking the industry, we have found all the good reasons. Human greed. The economic pressures. Lax regulation. Psychological research shows that the reason could be as little as a metaphor for the brain.
Challenges of the theory, help the pioneers of my colleagues and me to explain the cognitive roots of poor decision making and competitive situations. The key to this theory is the recognition that the abstract human experiences emotional processing using metaphors. Always, and unconsciously understand, we abstract to the concrete. For example, organizations often explained (Summary) with the metaphor of organizations - are plants. So we talk about office "branch", "plum" in the labor market, and. The "growth" in the profit and loss account When a person is in love, says, "Look how far we've come," he used to think of using the analogy of a journey.
Metaphorical interpretation is unconscious, but it can have serious consequences.
Some "races" by the spirit metaphor processed competition - club. This leads to effective competition (competition word literally means "effort"). Competition, so understood, is faced with the immediate interests of the people in the opposition, but to serve a broader objective of common interest. Sports, for example, it enables people to the joy and excitement that comes from fresh excitement of the game experience. The economic environment, market competition, by the same values that we encourage all our economic textbooks. Excellence in effectiveness, innovation, service and manufacturing
Due to the fierce competition, the company is benefiting perfection. The competition is great.
However, says sports principal cause scandals and abuse, and challenge the market can lead to abuse of privileged information, misleading advertising, skirt regulations and many other problems. But before the intervention of an athlete or a contractor problem, there has been a subtle change. The metaphor of the organization, the competition authority is replaced by a real picture of the war. After the war metaphor activated unconscious, perceptions, decisions and actions of the transfer battles our goal. Not as a form of mutually beneficial partnership, our brain starts to tell us that we are fighting, we must think and act like a soldier under fire.
Because of the "difficulty" is called by decompetition "replaced battle." Decompetition always causes problems in terms of throughput and ethics.
In summary, the following table shows some key elements associated with competition and decompetition resist in the business context:
What does this mean in practice? Conceptually, it is very simple. To optimize performance and avoid ethical violations think, in the metaphor of the company if you are in a competitive situation. But in reality it is much easier to do that, he said, because the process of metaphorical interpretation occur almost immediately and generally outside of consciousness.
To forget old habits and new mental responses, you must first learn to recognize and change the factors that gain decomposition. It can personal insecurity, high external pressure, perceived injustice, and be rewarded further. For example, if I play with a friend, I'll militant - to attract more prospects and less Mtaniiein really - if I insecure about my position.
Cognitive reframing is the second step. You can learn to recognize when you fall decomposition and intentionally "" new "with the situation of effective competition requires learning new effort and practice, but the strategy is to use a simple list you get mentally often fundamental questions of life and work. . What I look for specific end, what really motivates me as I can my relationships with others? trivial as it may seem, it is usually the work that we lose what is really important.
However, we can say, "bottom line" is so named because it is. Indeed the bottom line Do not we all fight for customers and profits? Yes, "win", but almost exclusively on winning more often, especially in the longer term. Sports, for example, research shows that athletes perform better when they are completely immersed in the challenge of the moment and are not distracted by the score differences. And the Academy students are more motivated to focus in the basic treatment of students on the cognitive categories or engage external causes. Whether athletes entrepreneurs Game Studios, employees or officials of the company (and smart) perform best Hnalotihm is the direction of the idea and the metaphor of competition - club.
Famous Gandhi not that opponent. As enemies, but the thought of teachers who allowed him to be open and creative For similar reasons, said the basketball coach Phil Jackson, the main opponent as a partner in the caper. "The reality is to reduce that to focus the idea of playing as a battle or a war, border tensions dysfunctional creativity and reasonable in risk reduction is tending. Finally, this kind of thinking is easy to" anything goes "mentality excuses behavior seems unethical line short degenerate.
Hope is not your only strategy
