“If you want to make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make that change!”

Hmmm! If we only had 7 billion mirrors!
This blog title should intrigue High-Holistic-DMQ leaders enough to pause, reflect and consciously decide.
The world changes when Holistic Leaders change. The majority will then follow.
Are you a Holistic Leader or are you a Serial-Myopic Leader?
Holistic Leaders see the world, employees, family members, etc., in a holistic way. They’re leaders who lead people professionally, personally and in the community while their DMQ considers all their own roles; and, all the roles of the people whom their decisions will impact, holistically.
Serial-Myopic leaders / managers on the other hand, see the world, employees, family members, etc., in separate, although connected roles. They’re not leaders, they’re managers. As such, they manage them using Position Authority (I’m here, you’re there, so we’ll do what I say) to get things done.
As an example; domestic environments are corroded with breadwinners managing the household, because they hold everyone financially hostage.
Women have historically earned less than men and many men have abused this financial advantage while getting away with being a(n) ________ (pick your colorful language) around the house. These types of managers are just as bad at work and make High-DMQ Leaders, who happen to report to them, lives miserable.
So, will C-19 change us permanently or just enough to get us through this?
At this point, my guess is pretty obvious, just as I said at the time of 9/11, most won’t change permanently… which is what has actually transpired.
So; the real opportunity is to find those Holistic Leaders on the proverbial fence and help them permanently change for the better.
Who and how do we do this?
Unfortunately, it’s a better question than is my answer. Thus; I’ll contribute one recommendation for 3 groups of potentially Holistic Leaders that are on the fence, and have the courage to positively change permanently.
1 – Corporate Executives – Weave your companies into the fabric of the communities vs. silo-ing them, just enough to get the required, positive PR. This enhancement could include loaning 1%+ of your employees to Non-Profits for extended periods of time, while you pay their full salaries. Genuinely treat employees as people first, then employees second, especially on jugular decisions!
I’m not talking about 1 or 2 people being loaned. I’m talking about 10-20 per 1,000 employees, from all “ranks”. Seriously; get deeply ingrained into your community and become one with it!
Make “We’re in this together” a permanent reality, not just a convenient, temporary slogan.
You could even use our Corporate Cost Saving / Social Impact Model to pay for corporate / community programs such as I’m recommending. We won’t guarantee we’ll save you $50M like one of our team’s clients saved, but it could be over $100M in new savings, if you intelligently get engaged with us.
.
Even if we only save you $2.5M… that’s better than a sharp stick in the eye!
2 – Non-Profit Executives and Board Members – Weave your social impact model into the business strategy of corporations. Don’t expect corporations to donate just because it looks good for them and you have a positive relationship with them!
Help them create New Net Income so they have much, much more to donate and you’re a valuable contributor to their success, not just a taker of their self-generated financial success!
Thus; your Corporate Partners are more likely to donate to your Non-Profit in both good times and bad; and, in greater abundance!
Consistent with this approach, Board Members and Executive Directors, please hire Development Directors that live this concept and not just ones who can chase envelopes. Non-Profits enhancing Corporate Success, needs to be part of every Non-Profit’s culture.
3 – Significant Others – Spouses, partners, etc., grasp the holistic courage, humility and passion for leading a Purpose-Driven Life.
“It’s never crowded along the extra mile.” – Wayne Dyer
The hell with what non-amazing people think and tell you!
Jettison them out of your life!
.
Treat your spouse like a king or queen and you’ll be returned the love 10-fold; or,
discover you’re with an unappreciative partner.
.
Both are wins!
Life is short!
Nothing lasts forever!
.
Find as many Windows of Amazing as you can
and seize the privilege to experience them in your life!
.
Feel your Heart!
Be one with your Soul!
Find your Courage!

… is it Amazing?
… if not…
Change Today!
.
Permanently change for the better… starting today and lasting a lifetime!
Want to actually (not just talk about it) make a significant difference in 1,000’s of lives?
.
If so, and you’d like our teams to raise $1M+ for your favorite Non-Profits
to actually change those lives, DM me here or on LinkedIn!
.
Simple! Significant! Swift!
Who changes the world? I believe it’s almost exclusively the Top-7%. They are the only ones with the Talent Portfolios and social consciences needed to actually implement significant positive social impact.
If you believe you’re one of these executives, we’d love to explore possible opportunities.
