Leadership Tune Up – Willpower

Peter Drucker stated that what you have to do and the way you have to do it is incredibly simple. Whether you are willing to do it, that’s another matter. Along with this thought it has also been stated that great souls have wills while feeble souls have only wishes.

It is true that in the absence of willpower the most complete collection of virtues and talents that any person can assemble in the toolbox of life will be rendered worthless.

There are stages in life that require us to stop the pace of our life and reflect upon accomplishments and the trajectory of our life. What needs work? What needs changed? What do I need to get rid of? Here are some reflective questions to assist in this process.

Reflection Questions

Am I waiting on someone else to initiate my professional development or should I be more proactive?

I know what my top three objectives are today? Will I exercise leadership to accomplish them?

Do I have the discipline to lead myself?

On a scale of 1-10, how intense is my desire to provide world class leadership today?

How clear is my desire for what I want? How hot is the passion to possess it?

It has been stated that the height of a man is gauged by his self mastery. If you cannot establish mastery over yourself, you will not influence others. What do these thoughts mean to you?

Are you bringing out the best in yourself so that you can bring out the best in others?

In your organization why is it vital to have mastery over yourself?

How does a lack of self-discipline affect my sense of worth and esteem?
