Leadership and learning
As appeared in Jim Rohn’s newsletter a post that shows that leaders are quite often prepared to learn. The successful teams are prepared to learn new things reguarly, that is the only way that success really does work.
Thoughts on Successful People
by Chris Widener
I was hired to do some training for a sales team from one of the largest companies in America. The first thing I noticed about this successful sales team was that they had a sense of humor! They simply weren’t a terribly serious bunch of people. Instead, they saw that life was to be enjoyed and that means they were able to laugh a little bit. Sure, there were varying levels in this but they all had a sense of humor. They were able to laugh at circumstances, and they were able to laugh at themselves. It was quite refreshing and a core element of their success, I’m sure.
The second thing I found out about this group was that they did not achieve their success through pedigree, but through hard work. They didn’t come from families that gave them a free pass into the upper echelon of the corporate world and they didn’t get a head start from upper-crust universities. What got them to where they are now? Hard work! That’s right, another example that if you put your mind to it, work hard and get in the right situation, you can achieve great things! These folks work long hours and are disciplined in the work they do. And it is paying off.
The third thing I noticed about this team is that they are learners. They were always engaged in the learning process. During my sessions they were engaged and listening. You could see their minds processing the information. They were asking questions and applying the material to their work and their lives. They wanted to improve in any way that they could. It was also interesting to watch them in their team meetings led by their sales manager. They were very interactive and were learning from one another. None of them was above learning from a peer.
