9 Pillars Of Personal Leadership – Presentation Transcript

Updated Tuesday, June 09, 2009 9 Pillars of Personal Leadership How to Effortlessly Cultivate Followers, Freedom, and Wealth by Leading with Who You Are By Jane Chin, Ph.D. Copyright 2009 by Jane Chin, All Rights Reserved. http://www.JaneChin.com/
1. Shift Your Talent Equation. Shift from asking “How may I gain?” To “How may I serve?”
2. Regenerate through Generosity. Find out what you can give away that gives Life back to you. Give this away, every single day.
3. Curb Your Approval Addiction. Your ego is addicted to being popular, looking good, being liked, getting pats on the back, receiving stamps of approval, compliments, everyone agreeing, being special, winning and succeeding all the time. …you become braver to be true to yourself when you’re not addicted.
4. Burn Your Bridges. Give yourself no option about doing the right thing.
5. Own Your Successes and Failures. Failures are the teachers who make your life miserable, but ultimately show you what matters most about yourself and about life.
6. Action is the True Metric. You can talk all you want, but no one can follow you until you start walking.
7. The Way is “One”. “One”. The surest way to make a difference/change your life/ serve the world / {whatever!} is ONE. (one person, one action, one moment at a time.)
8. Move Your Modus Operandi. Shift the way you work from Competition Coopetition Collaboration Cocreation.
9. Start. Start. Start Now. (can you imagine Nike spending $20M to come up with an slogan that says, “Just think about it”?)

    Hi Jane, Just came across your 9 Pillars of Personal Leadership and it really resonated with me. I’m going through a process of restructuring my businesses and personal life and have been reading all I can to assist with this process and your 9 pillars were quick and easy to read and oh so relevant.

    It must be karma as I just mentioned the old ” burn your bridges” idea to a friend the other day as a strategy to move forward. Have followed you on twitter and will wait for more gems.

    All the best

    Thank you for sharing with me what resonated with you about the 9 Pillars, Edmund!

    We’re so used to hearing “burning bridges” as a negative (i.e. “don’t burn bridges with people!”) that we may not realize that the original intent of this phrase is about a conscious decision to take the point of no return. We free up all the energy we’d otherwise waste on the “what if’s” and the fear and the doubt, and instead, we re-orient this newly freed energy into the path we have chosen.

    Best wishes on your transitional and restructuring processes and please keep in touch.

    This is such a great list, not only for leadership, but for life. I especially like #2, since I’m a big fan of the Dalai Lama’s belief of happiness through compassion.
