Generative Leadership
Behind every remarkable business is a Generative leader.
What does it mean to be leader in our age of hyper-change, where technologies, social interactions, even some of our traditional values are all changing radically?
It means having a willingness to take charge of our own development and change the way we think about, the way we live and run our business. It means claiming power to shape our future, letting go of past reference points, inventing our own business practices and becoming a creator source of our own reality. It means having courage to make radical leaps into the space of infinite possibilities and challenging the definition of impossible.
Leaders who have Generative Capacity
don't
use force and effort, yet they leave nothing undone.
Conventional leaders are always controlling things with force and effort, yet many things are left undone....
Generative leaders are creative innovators who have the ability to transcend their perceived limited circumstances and to actualize infinite possibilities. They create their reality by choosing to let go of limitations and demand of themselves the greatness of who they are. They are not attached to convention or past reference points, and are always willing to take risks and destroy and uncreate old systems, structures and routines for new ones. They live not as the effect of life, but as the source of it. Generative leaders stand out from the crowd.
They operate on inner knowing and use intuition for making expansive decisions. They have a strong penchant for innovation, they believe in infinite possibilities, they seek and maximize opportunity and are able to perceive and work with risk. They tend to look at the big picture of things and see the big picture of things all the time. They are constantly asking questions of themselves and their business.
Leaders who develop and intensify their Generative Capacity have the critical ability of detecting the patterns of external change. They possess the broad cognitive bandwidth required to look far out onto the horizon, sort through the complexities of the external landscape, detect patterns, and determine what it all means for their business. They have the courage to form a point of view before all the evidence is clear.
Generative leaders look at their business from the outside in and practice connecting the dots of seemingly unrelated trends and events. They are able to spot opportunities and threats before they become obvious to everyone else. You can put your business on the offensive and avoid unpleasant surprises.
Generative Capacity is essential for leaders to keep their businesses viable, as the world becomes more complex and the rate of change grows exponentially. Embodying Generative Edge requires you to embrace Prosperity Consciousness and a Strategic Awareness modus operandi.
All Generative leaders share seven qualities:
1. They focus on cultivating a prosperity conscious strategic mindset at all levels and operate in the powerful space of infinite possibility.
2. They are unimpeded by a concern for survival or competition, as they are moving too fast for competitors and are not afraid of failure.
3. They are free from the collective generalized assumption of scarcity.
4. Their actions are characterized as generative, gifting and generosity of spirit which produces new ideas and new life.
5. They create a work environment where creativity, inspiration, joyfulness and collaboration occur naturally.
6. They cultivate trust, gratitude, allowance, honour, and vulnerability that facilitates closeness and solidarity among staff and creates loyalty from clients, suppliers and stakeholders
7. They make a difference in the world and provide quality products and excellent services that someone actually chooses to pay money for.
Do you have what it takes to create a Generative Business?
The answer is YES! You already have the inherent skills, if you choose to use them. This is what we call Generative Leadership.
Generative Leadership is a state of ‘Being' rather than ‘Doing'. This establishes the quality, attitude and disposition which delineates remarkable leaders. Generative leaders have a palpable presence and quality that goes beyond those generally associated with conventional leaders. Such qualities include generosity of spirit, prosperity consciousness, willingness to receive everyone and everything without judgment, and having total allowance for all things.
Are you truly ready to lead your business from ordinary to remarkable?
Well, are you? Really? Okay. You have to choose to be a Generative leader. It's pretty simple, but it takes total dedication. You will begin to become a Generative leader at the moment when you choose to be conscious and aware.
Many business owners and business leaders have not claimed, owned, and acknowledged their conscious leadership presence. Your choice, your willingness, the words you use to describe the essence of your life, your work or your business, your vision for your ideal business, will be your first experience in setting priorities and identifying what is really important to you. Once you have these articulated, it is time to embrace prosperity consciousness so that you can lead your business and your life with conscious awareness.
