Applying Leadership and Growth…. Requesting more of ourselves vs. resting on our laurels can have a huge impact in our companies and our personal lives. What we may find around
corner is a renewed appreciation for ourselves/organizations and new skills that allow us to raise our standards increase our performance and amplify our contribution. When we are willing to risk what we already are, we create new opportunities. The very definition of ‘evolution’ and ‘entrepreneur’ starts with challenging individual responsibility, creativity and risk.
Making Stretch…. What are qualities you most admire in elite athletes and leaders and how do these qualities apply to you? Some examples are: Focus - Discipline/dedication - Natural talent/ability - Competitive nature/drive - Desire - Passion - Mastery They exemplify what we value most. Where in your life are you willing to find out what’s next, and what is possible?
Qualities of a Leader…. As I stated earlier, this is not a battle between sexes. It is about examining our own abilities, and as leaders asking more of ourselves while being open to growth—wherever it comes from-- breaking down traditional barriers and pushing through to a new level.
How story ends…. So how did Annika do? At conclusion of day 1 at Colonial, she was at par, and on second day struggled and did not make final cut. Since Colonial, she has one her last two tournaments. Quoting her after last weekend’s playoff win: “At Colonial it was journey to winning. Maybe with all that pressure I experienced then, that’s what helped me to pull through today.”
Based on these results, do you think she is better off today for taking risk? I think she demonstrates living your best life. I wish her great success, whatever that ends up being.
