Be a Leader – Do Not abuse your power – Top 10 List of things to do if “you’re a boss”

There are major differences between a Boss and a Leader, and I would much rather be a leader than a boss. A boss is “your average Joe or Jane” that is half the time on a power trip. They have been given their status of authority through direct worldly means. Leaders are naturally called to the position to be a leader – whether it be that they are born with those traits or they develop them through life – whatever you choose to believe. The fact still remains, “It is a Calling” and they usually have a much higher POSITIVE impact on others and the world around them than “The Boss” does. In fact, a great deal of the time “The Boss” has an adverse effect on those around him/her. I have an idea why people act like they do, but I personally cannot grasp why someone would wish to remain in that bondage of their own souls. Something is Missing!

Its unreasonable to count all of the times that I’ve ran into spiritually ugly people in the corporate world whether it be for personal business or job related. They seem to be missing so much within themselves that they take unconsciously take out their frustration on the matrix around them. They overlook personal development and MOST IMPORTANTLY: true compassion & genuine concern for the people they run into. They tend to abuse their “power” and like I said before, they usually have an adverse/negative effect oppose to the Positive One That The Leader Has on The World!

Here are some simple thoughts and practices to help you from falling “victim’ to “the boss” trap … and REALLY explode your Leadership Quality Potential:

Find time to deal with stress in a healthy manner outside of the workplace
Take time for Personal Development and Self Improvement (google it, watch videos, read books, get involved in mastermind and self help groups)
Humble Thyself (Remember: This world doesn’t revolve around You!)
Be Willing to HELP as oppose to always giving orders
Keep in mind the “possibility” that you MAY NOT be “right”
Practice thinking about and praying for others (and NOT just your friends and family)
Keep a reasonable separation of Work Issues AND Personal Issues
Take thought of Your Intentions Before Offering Criticism
Find a Higher Power and practice a spiritual program taking a daily inventory (of what “you did for yourself” AND “what you did for God” that day)
Remember that if you invest confidence in someone they are more than likely to always respond high above your expectations as oppose to always being negative toward them. BE POSITIVE IN GENERAL!
