Impact

Impact

Having no impact is still creating impact somewhere. It reverts back to choice. Choice can be the single greatest factor on leadership. So those that choose to sit back and do nothing are allowing others to choose for them. Even your opinion, when spoken out loud, can impact your ability to lead.

What kind of impact do you choose? A “do nothing” attitude impacts your inability to lead. 

Congratulations! You are a follower. Self-communicating your ability to lead then doing something constitutes your ability to create more leaders and that is what all organizations need to do to sustain positive culture in the long-term. 

There is a direct correlation to “do nothingers” and complainers. Those negative qualities go hand in hand. They find bad in anything. I guarantee you they spread undesirable vibes at home, too.

This is a hard concept for students to understand at first. That is why our schools provides leadership training as soon as the students enter our school. Some of it is simple but some of it is not. Most of the students understand concepts like impact and attitude when they leave our organization.

Adults should understand their impact or “lack of” easily. However, you cannot reach those that do not want to be reached. So let us impact each other in a positive way. Today, I walked through the parking lots with two signs. One said: “Politeness is contagious.” The other said: “The Power of Politeness - HELLO, GOOD MORNING, PLEASE, THANK YOU, YOU ARE WELCOME, EXCUSE ME, I LOVE YOU, HOW MAY I HELP .  I definitely received a lot back both verbally and nonverbally.

Peace.
