Challenges and issues in becoming transformational leader

• Transformational leadership requires transparency and empowerment.

• Disconnection between where we have been(mechanical, stability) to where we are going(open systems, organic).

• Sometimes the leader has wonderful ideas, passion, and other transformational traits but people are individualistic rather than team and relationship oriented.

• Instilling transparency and servant qualities which feels like a loss of control in our egoistic and pride environment.

• Accused of leading a revolution : perceived as undoing and tearing down what has been built up in the past

• Common reactions from others feeling intimidated or threatened are to try to break up the team and communication

• The challenge of the day is to nurture and develop ethical leadership in all aspects of society

• Greater need for us to address issues of diversity and tolerance

• Need for change (uncertainty Avoidance ??? )

• People oriented rather than self

How to develop purpose of life

• Have you ever sat down and thought, “What is my purpose in life? What is my passion?

• Did you inherit your sense of purpose from others?

• Have you cultivated a purpose in your life that is uniquely your own?

• Some might say: what would my religion want me to do?

• What would my extended family want me to do?

• Much of really defining your purpose in life is to examine our inherited frameworks and question how much it truly speaks to us instead of simply living it by default.

• Many of us never examine our inherited elements of purpose, so it shapes our lives unconsciously.

• Afraid of investigation and question : no challenge ? Miss to make out purpose on our own.

• Are Your Goals Yours?

• Your purpose comes from where : media, family, friends or yourself?

• Your purpose comes from where : media, family, friends or yourself.?

The fastest way to uncovering your life’s purpose is through the art of introspection: diving into the deeper essences of who you are to pull out the pieces to assemble

• What is your current state?Evaluate your strengths and weakness as well as good and bad habits

• What is your desired state?Examine what it is you hope to improve about yourself and why is it important for you to improve those characteristics.

• How do I get there? What do I need?Determine what knowledge and experiences need to happen in order for you get closer to your desired self.

• What is a plausible timeline?Make a list of activities and events you hope to experience within a set amount of time. Use them as checkpoints that lead towards your goal.

Think of these items as the underlying code of conduct for your journey ( Making purpose)

• I welcome the hard work and tiresome effort it will take to unearth my life’s great work

• I know my purpose might not be directly obvious, but I will put in the time to find it

• I believe finding my purpose is entirely possible

• I know that finding my life’s purpose may lead to some drastic (positive) changes

• I know that finding my life’s purpose will leave me with the power to shape my own destiny

What we learn

Be yourself

Words have incredible power

Believe, Know your cause

Never be afraid

Be influential and transparent
