TOOL TIME: CLUB IMPROVEMENT
9 TOOLS EVERY DÉJÀ VU LEADER MUST HAVE
WHAT IS A DÉJÀ VU LEADER? SUCCESSFUL
LEADERSHIP SEEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN
WHEN WE SEE IT IN ACTION, WE ASK: WHY DOES THIS SEEM SO FAMILIAR?
THREE REALIZATIONS THEY WERE ALL
SUCCESSFUL IN WHAT THEY DO
THEY ALL REACH THEIR GOALS
WHAT IS THE CONNECTION?
REALIZATION NUMBER ONE: THE ANSWER TO
“Who is this person?” was not a person at all
It was a way of behaving
A clear pattern A path A certain set of
good choices
REALIZATION NUMBER TWO People who found
what they were looking for in life seem to do a certain set of things in common
REALIZATION NUMBER THREE: If you were not
born with these patterns for leadership in place, you can learn them
They exist on their own and are available to all of us
WHY USE THE NINE TOOLS OF DÉJÀ VU LEADERS?
THEY ARE UTTERLY DEPENDABLE MAKE A DIFFERENCE WHEN USED WHEN AVOIDED, DISASTER OCCURS BRING SUCCESS AND HELP
TOOL ONE: EXCAVATE YOUR SOUL
DÉJÀ VU LEADERS EXPLORE THEIR DEEP HEARTS
THEY INVEST IN THEIR INNER DESIRES AND AMBITIONS
OPTIMIZE OPPORTUNITIES Become aware of dreams and talents Listen to them and value them Develop them Seek coaching Find the buried treasure
Put on Your Hard Hat And Take the Appropriate Risks
There is very little growth and reward in life without taking risks
Avoidance of risk is the greatest risk of all
Healthy risk occurs after much preparation
Grasp Your Dreams
Reach for them Take appropriate risks Potential is something to be realized,
so dig it up!!! Life comes from the inside out
Tool Two: Yank The Diseased Tooth
Déjà vu leaders do not allow negative things to take up space in their lives
If they can’t fix the bad stuff, they get rid of it
They get rid of negative energy
Cavities to Fill, Teeth to Pull
Déjà vu leaders fill the cavities in the minor bad stuff and yank out the major bad stuff
Clear out clutter & dead weight that take up space and don’t help us
Get rid of the things you are not using Fill the cavity or pull the tooth
When to Call the Dentist When all hope for the desired outcome has been
exhausted New things that actually have hope for the future
cannot appear until you get rid of what was taking up the space that the new thing needs
The Cringe Factor
What’s the Cringe Factor?
Déjà vu leaders don’t get into energy- drains to begin with
What is the little voice inside telling you?
Tool Three: Play the Whole Movie
Déjà vu leaders evaluate their decisions in the present based on how they will affect the future
“If I do A, not only will B happen, but C will too. And D and E and F and G and on and on”
What will happen in the end?
Give an Oscar-Winning Performance
Plot a movie…a vision of your life See it, plan it and evaluate it in light of where the
movie is supposed to end Make sure you have the right supporting cast You will be a successful leader and have a life well
lived
Tool Four: Put Superman Out of a Job
Déjà vu leaders continually ask themselves, “What can I do to make this situation better?”
They call on themselves as the first source to correct difficult situations
Déjà Vu Leaders Make a Move They live out the “get moving approach” They get out of the phone booth They do something SUPER Send Superman to the unemployment line!
Tool Five: Embrace Your Inner Insect
Déjà vu leaders achieve big goals by taking small steps over time
Every feat ahead of us is really no more complex than one step at a time, one grain of sand at a time
Déjà Vu Leaders Achieve Big Goals By Taking Small Steps Over Time They achieve their successes by embracing their inner
insect and acting like an ant They don’t have ‘all or nothing’ thinking They realize that wanting it all keeps you from having
any They know that wanting it now keeps you from having it
What Are Your Ant Farms?
We get overwhelmed by the obstacles standing between us and our goals
Take a one-grain-at-a-time approach Enjoy success as a leader like you never
thought possible
Tool Six: Earn a Black Belt in Hate Déjà vu leaders develop the ability to hate the
right things well What we hate says a lot about who we are Character is in part formed by what we hate,
because we move to be different from whatever it is
Hate or Tolerate? What will you tolerate? What will you
not? Make your values intentional Deal with your subjective hatred Mix hate with love and respect=an
integrated character Build your skills Choose to respond in a constructive
way
Tool Seven: Forget About Playing Fair
Déjà vu leaders give back better than they are given
The fault with fairness is that the other person must be good so I can be good
Fair is good, but it does not work
Getting Beyond Fair To succeed in leadership and life do
not go around settling scores Get rid of anger Ask yourself what is helpful Get past your own need Ask how you have contributed Give the opposite Don’t play fair, play right
Tool Eight: Quit Self-Exaggerating
Déjà vu leaders do not strive to be or to appear more than they really are
They live by the humility principle: They know they are who they are
Humility is being insignificant, unpretentious
Everybody Screws Up!!!!
Leaders know that failures are part of the path to success and even successful people go through loss, failure and crises
Admit quickly when you are wrong Receive correction from others well The way of the déjà vu leader is basically to be “real”
Tool Nine: Ignore the Popularity Polls
Déjà vu leaders do not make decisions based upon the fear of other people’s reactions
They know the difference between hurting someone and harming them
It’s like surgery They go against the odds if the odds
are against what is right
Set Your Heading To be a successful leader, you may
not keep everyone around you happy If you are successful you will tick
some people off!!! Don’t count your critics, weigh them Make sure you are upsetting the
controlling, irresponsible and manipulative people, not the kind and honest and responsible people
