"The major value in life is not what you get. The major value in life is what you become. That is why I wish to pay fair price for every value. If I have to pay for it or earn it, that makes something of me. If I get it for free, that makes nothing of me." - Jim Rohn
"In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock." - Thomas Jefferson
"The primary function of myth is to validate an existing social order. Myth enshrines conservative social values, raising tradition on a pedestal. It expresses and confirms, rather than explains or questions, the sources of cultural attitudes and values." - Annie Oakley
"Unshakable self-confidence comes from unshakable commitment to your
values." - Brian Tracy

Adding Value
By Dr. John C. Maxwell
As one year draws to a close and another one begins, it's not uncommon for people to make an intentional effort to appraise where they've been in the last twelve months and think about the changes that they'd like to make in the coming months. Whether it's in the area of finances, weight, physical fitness, relationships or career, we all have aspects of our lives that could use a little tweaking, if not a complete overhaul.
If you engage in such year-end/new-year reflection, be sure to include your leadership efforts on your list of things to evaluate. What have you done well as a leader this year? Where have you stumbled? Take a close look around you. Are the people you lead more competent and confident now than they were a year ago? Have you made every possible effort, as we discussed in the last issue of Leadership Wired, to add value to their lives?
If not, or if you still have room to improve in this area, don't get discouraged. You can begin adding value to the people around you by using three tools every leader possesses--your head, your heart and your hands.
1. The leader's head - understand people. An important quality of a relational leader is the ability to understand how people feel and think. For example, many of the people in your sphere of influence are insecure. If you're a confident person yourself, you may have never considered this. But it's a truth that every leader needs to recognize. This realization was life-changing for me as a communicator. When I learned that as many as ninety percent of the people to whom I spoke struggled with insecurity, I made it my goal to speak confidence into their lives. I wanted to empower people to move forward, to take a risk, to find success, to give it one more shot. So I began to make sure my words fostered confidence, not doubt.
You might not speak to large audiences regularly, but you talk to people every day who are in desperate need of a confidence boost. So how do you go about giving them one? That's easier than it may seem. People like to feel special, so sincerely compliment them. They want a better tomorrow, so show them hope. They lack direction, so navigate for them. They get low emotionally, so encourage them. They want success, so help them win. The more you build their confidence, the more they'll be able to achieve on their own.
2. The leader's heart -- love people. You cannot truly be an effective leader--the kind people want to follow--unless you love people. I'm not talking about a touchy- feely, emotional kind of love--not everyone operates that way. I'm talking about a genuine compassion and caring that comes from the heart--a way of relating that shows people you believe in them, you want the best for them and you're pulling for them to succeed. If you truly love your people like this, you can't help but add value to their lives--probably in more ways than you might think.
3. The leader's hand -- help people. It might seem obvious that one of your jobs as a leader is to help people. But if your head and heart are not working properly, your hand will never perform as it should. Let me explain. If you don't understand people (the leader's head), you can't help them. If you don't love people (the leader's heart), you won't help them. That's a sad place for a leader to be, but unfortunately, it's all too common.
To avoid this dangerous leadership trap, make sure your head and heart are functioning correctly. Only then will you be able to give your people the kind of help they need and deserve. Only then will you truly be able to bring out the best in the people around you.
