Being Awesome

Behaving in a way that others perceive you as extremely impressive or daunting such that you inspire them without being conceited or self centred is the underpinning of great leadership.

An innate attraction  imbedded in the very nature of being human that occurs when others unconsciously view you as being awesome.  This attraction can override even logical analysis creating an emotional bind between leaders and followers.

What is Awesome Behaviour

The road to awesomeness is paved with a complex intertwining of basic human behaviours which ultimately define you in the eyes of others.

Understanding and then continuously improving your skills in these areas all the while practicing them consistently will both define you as awesome to others but also you will personally feel awesome.

At the core, that is the motivating factors of awesome behaviour, is your personal value system.  At the apex of these values is the belief that everyone is important.

 What are examples of Awesome Behaviour?

This list needs to be personalized to your own values so that acting this way is not a chore, rather totally natural.  These examples are a solid framework for being awesome.

  • Understand and use your your behaviour drivers efficiently (i.e., emotion, desire and knowledge).
  • Take action, don’t wait to be asked or just follow others.  Deeds speak volumes. Anticipate what is needed.  Make it better.
  • Interactions with others (i.e., communication) are based on observation, ability to listen and most importantly deliver and receive messages  without misunderstanding.  Prove to others they are important.
  • Earn the trust of others by saying what you do and doing what you say. (Always).
  • Positivity, this behaviour underlies being awesome and is infectious.
  • View challenges as opportunities
  • Embrace change, it is not only inevitable but by owning and influencing it you can help ensure it is positive.
