Thoughts in low tides

What if the kindest insult we can raise is to frustrate assertions and prejudices at every turn, whether by a friendly joke to the well-meaning or by curt shock of logic to the arrogant. What if the best we can do is to pour ice on the warm waters of conformity? What if the best we can do is to proclaim, by example, that life is not blunt, unformed material to be flattened and beaten into shape and bent to human will. Life is a sharp, subtle, sophisticated thing that requires the hands of an artist, hands that know when to push and when to yield to the material. Do you have that bold, faithful touch? Do you employ that art?
A book is perhaps the most direct way to reach minds like the one at work that time. A book is sought out, willingly and actively participated in and can be discarded at any time. I know now that many have had experiences similar to what is described here and many have responded differently and been compelled to file it in some cultural niche or claim some prize. To do so would be to turn away at the defining moment or to bargain awareness for a more distinguished illusion. It is interesting and compelling to find comparisons but it is a hesitant mind that finds only fragments of familiarity. Anyone might find niches for the metaphors, but there are none to file away what they describe, that indefinable sense that, like a wild flower, only lives in you and fades as soon as you try to give it to another.
For me, it will never belong to any religious, philosophical or cultural tradition – it was fundamentally a relinquishing of such things, and in time realizing that was not a loss. As I wrote then, stay broken, wholeness is a mask. Yet nothing is wanting in that which you do not seek to complete, perfect or make use of. For anyone like me, that realization never comes until you have tried so hard, plumbed so deep, been shaken so utterly, that the keenness of your seeking mind destroys all that you identified with. Better to find – if there are any – gentler, safer ways to that repose. By it, lostless, ungained, insperate....
Just as my intuition leveled me to collect such thoughts please feel free to advice you view on thises. Don't be sad god always give a way out∙

Leadership how / what ? need suggestions

Leadership can be defined as one's ability to get others to willingly follow. Every organization needs leaders at every level. Leaders can be found and nurtured.

I believe we must develop leadership qualities accross our suroundings to achieve the success we seek. As part of my job is to coach people to greater self-awareness, purpose, personal strengths, various technologies and a sense of well-being that often translates into greater compensation, job satisfaction and practical use of skills and abilities. The goal of our leadership tips is to help everyone to pay attention to intentions and get to where you want to be as final result.

I ahev always believed that Leadership development is self-development. Learning how to not micromanage, not be overly concrete, not fail to explicitly state expectations and other unproductive inter-personal behavior only happens through the increased self-awareness gained in a personal coaching or mentoring relationship. So effective leadership can happen on the dance floor of conversation. Leadership is an interactive conversation that pulls people toward becoming comfortable with the language of personal responsibility and commitment.
Leadership is not just for people at the top. Everyone can learn to lead by discovering the power that lies within each one of us to make a difference and practicing the law of reciprocity. Also A leader with vision has a clear, vivid picture of where to go, as well as a firm grasp on what success looks like and how to achieve it. But it’s not enough to have a vision; leaders must also share it and act upon it.

A good leader must have the discipline to work toward his or her vision single-mindedly, as well as to direct his or her actions and those of the team toward the goal. Action is the mark of a leader. A leader does not suffer “analysis paralysis” but is always doing something in pursuit of the vision, inspiring others to do the same.

Integrity is the integration of outward actions and inner values. A person of integrity is the same on the outside and on the inside. Such an individual can be trusted because he or she never veers from inner values, even when it might be expeditious to do so. A leader must have the trust of followers and therefore must display integrity.

Joke IT & Business process take this lightely

A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces altitude and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts: "Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?"

The man below says: "Yes, you're in a hot air balloon, hovering 30 feet above this field."

"You must work in Information Technology" says the balloonist.

"I do" replies the man. "How did you know?"

"Well" says the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically correct, but it's of no use to anyone."

The man below says "You must work in business."

"I do" replies the balloonist, "but how did you know?"

"Well", says the man, "you don't know where you are, or where you're going, but you expect me to be able to help. You're in the same position you were before we met, but now it's my fault."
