Beingaleader means that you need to realize that you won’t always get the outcome you are working towards. You can affect it. You can plan for it. But you can’t control or determine it.
We think because we follow steps 1-4 that the natural outcome is the success we are striving for. We think that we can control outcome. We do have impact. We do have influence. But we do not have control. For example, I decide to go to college because I want to study x, y and z and when I’m done I will work at a certain place and make a certain income and live a certain type of life. And then ‘life’ happens. Takes you in a completely different direction. A different outcome.
Outcomes are just not under our control. The sooner you learn that the more satisfied you will feel in life. There are too many factors that are under the control of others. That you have no access to. You go in a direction but sometimes your car gets hit by another car and all of a sudden everything changes. Perhaps someone misses a deadline that impacts your desired outcome. Maybe you fail a test you needed for the future. Maybe Covid hits and your business is shut down. We need to understand that outcomes are out of our control.
Beingaleader means that you won’t always get the outcome you want. Control what you only can control. Which is you.
