Business seems full of contradictions: Stay in the moment, focus on results. Commit to a higher purpose, maximize profits now. Put customers first, shareholders matter most.
Amare leaders are great dancers, improvising as needed and communicating well, as they move between “opposites” as situations require. What grounds and guides these heart-centered leaders is alignment with Amare, the energy that uplifts and connects, in all their decisions and actions.
- How do you handle seemingly opposing priorities?
- What is the constant that guides your decisions?
- Are you willing to let Amare be your dance partner?
Four Amare Ways Leaders Dance
- List your opposing aims. Just getting them down in writing will help you recognize the conditions under which one comes out on top. Make sure to include money, too.
- Get grounded. Be clear and conscious of what you come back to again and again to guide your decisions. Assess if that touchstone is really aligned with your values, or if it’s a default you just use.
- No excuses. Committing to a “way” – like the 7 Amare Way Principles (free e-book here) – tells you and others how you lead and why. No surprises. You stay consistent and aligned, so there are no outlying behaviors to excuse.
- Dance Amare! Leading in business always requires dancing with your many stakeholders, often with competing agendas. Like any skill, this dance can take many forms and improves with practice. And stepping on toes is part of the learning! Just own it as you determine which steps to keep.
