How’s Your Timing?

There comes a special moment in everyone's life, a moment for which that person was born. That special opportunity, when he seizes it, will fulfill his mission - a mission for which he is uniquely qualified. In that moment, he will find greatness. It is his finest hour. - Winston Churchill

In HR, we try to ensure we have the “right leader in the right place at the right time.” Winston Churchill speaks of timing in the picture above.

For Out of This World Leaders, the right action at the right time brings success. Anything else exacts a high price.

That’s where John Maxwell’s 19th (of 21) Law of Leadership comes in. The Law of Timing says, “When to lead is as important as what to do and where to go.”

What are you Sacrificing?

In everyday things the law of sacrifice takes the form of positive duty. - James Anthony Froude

Many want to climb the corporate ladder, hoping for freedom and power at the top.

They think, “When I get to the top, then I will learn to lead. If I were on top, everyone would follow. Or, when I get to the top I will be able to do anything.” They don’t recognize these are myths of leadership. Leadership is influence, and when you get to the top, you have to practice servant leadership which requires sacrifice.

Leaders who want to rise have to do more than take an occasional cut in pay; they have to give up their rights. That’s true of every leader, regardless of profession. Talk with any leader, and you will find that she or he has made repeated sacrifices, and the higher the leader has climbed, the greater the sacrifices made.

Out of This World Leaders sacrifice the good in order to get the best.
