Great Leaders SEIZE The Moment!

Expert Author Richard Brody
There's no place, in genuine leadership, for, blaming, and complaining, avoiding personal responsibility, or resorting to delaying, and procrastination! Rather, real leaders, regardless of position, held, or level/ type, etc, must, proactively, be ready, willing, and able, to move forward, responsibly/ reliably, and SEIZE the moment! Many observers, point to the present behavior of President Donald Trump, in an attempt to indicate/ demonstrate, some of the potential, inherent dangers and ramifications, of blaming, complaining, avoiding, and procrastinating! Whether, we are considering, the leader of the so - called, free - word, or someone, in a leadership position, in any organization or group, it is essential, for an individual, to proceed, sooner, rather than later, in a well - considered, strategic manner. With that in mind, this article will attempt to, briefly, consider, examine, review, and discuss, using the mnemonic approach, what this means and represents, and why it matters!
1. Service; sustainable; strengthening; solutions: You're not a real leader, unless/ until, your approach and emphasis, is focused, on the finest, quality service and representation! One must proceed, in a relevant manner, while understanding, the sustainable needs, and requirements, of leading! What good, does anyone do, unless his leading, strengthens, the group, consistently? Real leadership must be based, and focused, on, conceiving, creating, and implementing the finest, possible solutions!
2. Empathy; emphasis: The key to being a real leader, is possessing, maintaining, and proceeding, with the utmost degree of genuine empathy, based on effectively, listening, and learning, from every conversation, and experiencing, and proceeding, accordingly, putting the greater good, ahead of any personal/ political agenda, and/ or, self - interest! Observe where someone, places his primary emphasis!
3. Integrity; ideas; ideology/ ideals; imagination/ innovative: Real leaders must maintain genuine integrity, and never resort, simply, to some path, of least resistance, of settling, for, good - enough, and/ or, the same - old, same - old! Ideas, based on common ideology, and ideals, rather than self - interest, etc, combined, with possessing a well - considered, developed, imagination, permits basic innovation, for the greater good!
4. Zealous; zero - based: Instead of, simply, lacking imagination, and proceeding, in the same - old, same - old, way, a real leader must be willing, to think, outside - the - box! An essential component should be, to use zero - based, budgeting, in order to create, an organization, ready for contingencies, etc! One must proceed, in every aspect, in a zealous manner!
5. Efforts; excellence; endurance; enrich: Shouldn't a leader's efforts, focus, on enriching his group, and constituents? To do so, he must have real endurance, to continue forward, when lesser individuals, may, give - up! What good, is a leader, if he doesn't demand his utmost degree of personal excellence?
Never procrastinate, but move forward, in a well - considered, timely manner, and SEIZE the moment! Are you ready, willing, prepared, and able to be a real leader?
