Leaders need to read what drives each team member and guide them accordingly. Be flexible with your leadership style to curate meaningful and successful outcomes. Easy Leadership: Have systems that serve your organization and people in place. When you have adequate systems, and your people love and appreciate you as a leader, they want you to win. Once you have people’s loyalty, they will do their best to anticipate what you need before you ask for it. This makes it easier to be a leader. To create this environment, you have to honestly care about the people around you and try to know them so they reciprocate and put in the effort to know you.  Warrior Poet: Someone who lives for a higher purpose and is ready to sacrifice to defend others. It's someone who recognizes that you should be entirely a lover and a fighter. You should be fully a lion and fully a lamp. You should be both. To be deficient in either is a deficiency in both because a real warrior protects, a real warrior loves, and a real lover protects. Protection and love flow into each other, and it is a requirement to balance out a person.  Face Your Death: It is unnecessary to put yourself in harm's way to access the teaching of facing your mortality. This can be a meditation instead of actual life circumstances. Meditate on your own demise. Ask yourself exactly what's worth living for. What would you immediately declutter if you discovered today was your last day? Now, 1-2-3, go and make the changes so each action you make is towards the stuff that really matters.    Sponsors and Promotions:   Life Force: Start your membership today and save 40% using code DIVINE40.  https://www.mylifeforce.com/divine   Factor http://factormeals.com/divine50 Use code divine50 to get 50% off.    Mindbloom Right now, Mindbloom is offering our listeners $100 off your first six session program when you sign up at https://www.mindbloom.com/podcast/divine and use promo code DIVINE.
