THE DAILY SPARK

ENROLLMENT

“Do as I say.” That’s industrial management in four words.  If you don’t follow the instructions to the letter, you’re insubordinate.  Not subordinate.

Complete subordination might have been the goal in an industrial setting.  But now, it’s dangerous, expensive and inefficient.  Because people close to the work know exactly what needs to be done.  

The opposite of insubordination is now enrollment.  

Someone who is enrolled in the journey doesn’t have to be told exactly what to do.  Instead, given the goals, the tools and the culture, they will figure it out.

REFLECTION:

  • What is your style for getting others to do what you want?
  • Are you “Moses with the tablets” – expecting others to do as you say?
  • Are you more inspiring – creating a vision for others to engage?
  • Examine your style – how you enroll others more effectively?

SURVIVAL GUIDE….

One day you will tell your story of how you overcame what you went through, and it will be someone else’s survival guide.

Quote by Brene Brown

REFLECTION:

  • Do you have a story to share – one that is very personal or challenges who you show to others?
  • If you were willing to share it, could someone benefit from your willingness to share?
  • If you were very brave, would to share?
  • Maybe journal about it or if you are willing share with another… you may help them on the journey of life.

FINDING FAULT

Never allow anyone to rain on your parade and thus cast a pall of gloom and defeat on the entire day. Remember that no talent, no self-denial, no brains, no character, are required to set up in the fault-finding business. Nothing external can have any power over you unless you permit it.

REFLECTION:

  • How often do you criticize others?
  • Are you the type of person that tends to find fault with others?
  • STOP IT!!

    OR…  

  • Do you allow the criticism, blaming and shaming of others to impact you?
  • They can’t have power over you unless you allow it!
  • TAKE YOUR POWER BACK!!
