Paradigms “Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world” Arthur Schopenhauer “The world that we have made as a result of the level of thinking we have done thus far creates problems that we cannot solve at the same level at which we created them” Albert Einstein

Paradigms Our culture is a box New paradigms come from the edge, not the center What today is impossible, that if possible, would lead to great success?

Paradigms Taking a Stand “The reasonable man adapts himself to the conditions that surround him... The unreasonable man adapts surrounding conditions to himself... All progress depends on the unreasonable man” George Bernard Shaw

Taking a Stand “We will be the leader…” rather than “We will try to overtake…”

Taking a Stand Leaders are disruptive and intrusive Sometimes to have a breakthrough, you must declare a breakdown (or declare a missing)

Leaders take a stand... with a commitment to victory... with a willingness to risk... when evidence of success does not exist!!! Setting direction There are a whole host of possibilities... and risks

Commitment “Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness… the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. I have developed a deep respect for one of Goethe’s couplets: “Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.” The Scottish Himalayan Expedition W. H. Murray

A leader inspires action  Alignment on a vision  Moving to action Enrollment “A coach is someone who makes you do what you don’t want to do so you can be who you always wanted to be” Tom Landry

Fear of failure is a foot nailed to the floor – It can’t be done – I can’t do it – We will fail Enrollment – Dealing with Fear Are fears not allowed? Fears and concerns should go from a high place in our modus operandi to an appropriate place

 Good leaders give direction AND  Involve people in making decisions Enrollment

Enrollment is a “conversation” where the vision is presented as an opportunity Don’t just listen for what people say, listen for where they’re coming from If people are known, gotten and appreciated, they will move mountains Empowerment is the background for enrollment Enrollment
