In this week's podcast (you can download it at iTunes...just type in "leadingthoughts" or go to www.davefleming.libsyn.com.), I explore this very potent concept:
From Eckhart Tolle's book, A New Earth, he wrote:
"What you believe life is withholding from you, you are withholding from life."
In the podcast, I apply this idea to leaders and the dynamic of leading. I also share one practice (self-reflection) that can help a leader determine if he or she is withholding the very thing (quality, attitude, behavior) that he or she feels is missing from the organization.
So...think about your own team or organization. What do you believe they are withholding from you or from the organization itself? Is it possible that, in part, this is due to the fact that you, as the leader, are withholding the same quality or dynamic from them?
Gulp. Hang on, self reflection can be difficulty, but the rewards are great.
