On Mondays, how many people start at the beginning, the beginning of a work week. The best way to start getting better at things is to acknowledge the stuff around you you have going for you. That's one thing you have that can help you get off to a nice start.
I often talk about this idea of boldly following as a professional development opportunity. In the title of today's live stream, it says what if? And I want you to consider what if. Leaders are leading around you are in reaction to things that you can assist with.
So what if you as follower have great influence on the way that leader leads? Sometimes when I'm leading I can sense the, the insecurity through historical reality. Who has the power in that situation? Is it the leader or the follower?
So follower, check yourself and see if you have more power than you're giving yourself credit for. If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make a change. Check out the lineup for for today's live streams.
Feel real good Going to make a difference Going to make it right. As I turned the color on my favorite winter coat his fingers blow in my mind SMBs, Andy, Mack, Maffy, Jules. Hey, hey. Let it play right to the good part. We got nowhere to go for the next couple of minutes, so I'm glad I get to spend them with you. Happy Monday, everybody. I hope you're doing great. And if you're not, I'll be that reminder that that's okay too. On Mondays, how many people start at the beginning, the beginning of a work week, beginning of a to do list, the beginning of trying again.
Which is why we often talk about how we get better at doing those things, how we take time to do those things well. And I do think the best way to start getting better at things is to acknowledge the. The stuff around you you have going for you. Like, you should know that I'm glad that I'm here. You should know that I'm glad that you're here. I know stuff and I risk to share it with you because I care about you. There's 17 words in the midst of that that I kind of wrote into some monologue. But we start Cadre today that way.
I'm glad I'm here. I'm glad you're here. I know what I know and I care about you. Those are the 17 words. That's one thing you have that can help you get off to a nice start. I often talk about this idea of boldly following as a professional development opportunity. And in the title of today's live stream, it says what if? And I want you to consider what if. The way that leaders are leading around you are in reaction to things that you can assist with or that you can help with that in turn by helping others, you can help yourself.
You know, I often find myself when I'm in the seat of leader that I operate best when I sense that the people I'm leading trust me, trust me so much that they will, with curiosity, encourage, go down the path, not passively, but as believers that we're going somewhere together. So I spend a lot of my time as a leader attempting to instill that or to earn that, earn that trust by showing them that I have a pathway, that I have answers to questions that I confidently say if there's not an answer to the question, that this is one of the things that we aren't going to know.
Like this is part of the work. But by us saying this is not something that we know. We know that, hey, speak wonder 1% better. Nice to see y' all this morning. Rose612 how we doing? So what if you as follower have great influence on the way that leader leads? Here's, here's one example. Sometimes when I'm leading I can sense the, the insecurity through historical reality that the people I'm leading don't trust. They don't trust who is in the leader seat because, because they've had great reason to not trust them.
I can at the same time go, I acknowledge why you are acting, responding, protecting yourselves the way that you are followers. And also I can want for you to trust that I am going to and that I already have been leading in a different way. Often that leader is going, oh my gosh, we are so close to being able to do it, but we need to have that cathartic shift. We need to have that moment where we go, yeah, things are operating differently. Let's run together now. Who has the power in that situation?
Is it the leader to say, follow me, follow me, follow me or is it the follower who has the power to say, I see that things are different and I'm going to choose to follow so we can do the thing that we've all wanted to do for a very long time together. So followers, today I ask you boldly to consider the what ifs, what if the way that you are following is inviting, encouraging, instigating leadership style that you don't want and that is actually slowing down leaders ability to lead. So follower, check yourself and see if you have more power than you're giving yourself credit for.
Everybody, I hope you have a really, really great day ahead. Check out the lineup for for today's live streams. It's already started this morning and it'll continue all throughout the day. It is a smorgasbord. Y' all dive on in and I'll see you tomorrow. Have a great time in Alaska t North. Bring your Cadre with you. If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make a change.
