“Holistically talented people are the only ones who are intelligent flight risks in relationships.
However; when you share passion, appreciation and unconditional love for them…
they’ll gladly remove their “propellers” while complementing the relationship
in Unorthodoxly Amazing ways!” – James Roncevich
The operative word in the title of this blog is, “Intelligent”!
Many (93% +/-) people are “Flight Risks” in relationships for less-than-stellar (a.k.a. unintelligent) reasons.
Are you one of those 93% mainstream members… or… are you a Top-7%’er?
Here are at least 3 types of relationships in which you, or others, can be considered a “Flight Risk”?
1) Professional – Employee / Employer – The worst cultures… know they are the worst! Rather than improving, it’s easier (and the only thing within their realm of competency) for them to preach an “everybody’s replaceable” culture.
.
Actually improving, would require much better leadership. This “un-change approach” helps them camouflage their short-comings. When you eventually divorce them… it doesn’t hurt them as much, since it’s merely their self-fulfilling prophesy.
The best cultures appreciate your talents, help you succeed and will even help you pursue success outside their organizations. Thus; they are appreciating you holistically; which paradoxically, is the most effective way to mitigate your Flight Risk. Why would exception talent leave an awesome environment?
2) Personal – Significant Other – The worst relationships constantly thread in a blend of thinly veiled or blunt “I’m leavings”, Self-Centered Decision Making (vs. We Decision Making) and “you need to ______” without actually helping / supporting you to ______.
The best relationships center on wanting, vs. needing, to be in the relationships. The concept of “completing someone” is laughable. The linchpin for successful relationships is a combination of passion, appreciation and unconditional love for each other.
.
Many of the most amazing relationships appear unorthodox
to the 93% Mainstream Crowd.
The antithesis of this linchpin combination is a cloaked passion, appreciation and love for the lifestyle, vs. the person. For many, the lifestyle is what keeps people together; while the person is a “good enough” component of the packaged deal.
What’s not to like about a beautiful home, vacations, 5-Star meals, house cleaning services, new cars, etc., and a “good enough” partner? What happens when the lifestyle changes?
Only the Top-7%’ers know the glaring, chasmic difference
between lifestyle-centered… and partner-centered… relationships!
3) Community – Volunteer – The worst relationships treat you like a doormat and try to guilt you into doing things you don’t believe are the best use of your talents. Further, you’ll often find yourself doing things, that the paid, W-2 employees at the Non-Profit… just don’t want to do (or they want to do less of it)!
The best community relationships embolden you to genuinely commit to making a difference while utilizing the optimal potential of your Talent Portfolio… whether that’s connecting with corporate donors, delivering food to the hungry, etc.!
Thus; we reach the proverbial, “fork in the road”!
