Become Hyper Aware of Emotions, Thoughts, and Actions - Walking Leader Podcast

Welcome to Episode 192 of the Walking Leader Podcast.with your host David G. Guerra.
In this episode, I talk about Become Hyper Aware of Emotions, Thoughts, and Actions.

The ability to be Hyper Aware of your Emotions, thoughts, and actions is not an ability that people are born with. Well, okay some people are born with it. However, whether born with it or grown over time, the ability to use that hyper-awareness is not easy to master but it has to be mastered. As a leader with the ability to be hyper-aware you are in a unique place that others work long and hard to reach. You are in a place where you can see 360 degrees (head on a swivel), look over the horizon and you use that ability to make better decisions whose positive results and outcomes will be received by your team. Being hyper-aware is not about being overly sensitive but looking at things from a different perspective, then reaching unique conclusions and then effectively acting on them.
.
Don't forget to CREATE WIN-WIN situations in all that you do. Start Strong! Stay Strong! Finish Strong! Be Strong!

And as always, I remind you to GO BEYOND THE GRIND & GO BEYOND THE HUSTLE BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO BE THE WALKING LEADER AND A LEADER THAT IS GREAT TO FOLLOW.

I invite you to take about 13 minutes and listen to the Episode 192 of the Walking Leader Podcast. Enjoy!

Walking Leader Bonus #4: Bring Value To Others

No matter what position you hold in your organization and no matter who you are dealing with there is only ONE thing that matters most: Are you bringing value to others?

When you interact with others are you doing everything you can to ensure that their time with you was more than just a passing moment in time between two people? If you are not too sure what I am talking about, that's OK.

Think about the following: In your next interaction, try to give them an experience like they have never had before. So that when they leave they can take with them something that can never be taken away. An experience that will leave them wanting more.

Try it...

Until Next Time,
David

WL Bonus #2: Don't Back Down

"A leader must have the courage to act against an expert's advice." -James Callaghan

There will come a time that you will have to put your foot down and say, "NO!"

It may be the unpopular thing to do but if you truly believe in your heart and know in your mind that the answer is "NO!" then go for it!


Try This Out: Put yourself in the position of a Army Field Officer during World War II. An order comes down from Headquarters telling you that you and your men will charge into that small village at the bottom of the hill and take that town from the very small enemy force. HQ continues reporting that aerial reconnaissance shows a small traffic control force in the town. Reluctantly, you say that the force you have cannot do the job but HQ is insistent. HQ demands to know what has gotten in to you and why do you think 30 men cannot overtake a group of five traffic control soldiers? You tell HQ that in the past 24 hours your Forward Observers have seen all types of equipment and soldiers enter that town as if they are preparing to assault your position. HQ does not believe you as they believe the "verified" Intel that is now over three days old when when the weather was last good enough for aerial recon. You know that if you agree to embark on this mission your men and quite possibly you will be walking into their own slaughter. A completely unnecessary and senseless slaughter.

Your back is up against the wall, what do you do?

Do NOT back down!

No matter what those "verified" experts say you know better because you know your men have no reason to lie to you and report false information. You trust them! You trust yourself! Believe in Yourself and acting against an expert's advice will be easy to commit to.
