Leadership Lesson- Persistence

  
  
  

Persistence

"Persistence is what makes the impossible possible, the possible likely, and the likely definite."  By Robert Half, personnel executive. 

 This is sage advice for leaders at all levels of an organization.  If you are not successful at something one day, you can't let that one incident influence how you will approach the problem the next day.  Being a Red Sox fan, watching the Sox drop 7 straight to the Yankees and the Tampa Bay, I have to admit was a downer.  I was, however, impressed by the attitudes of the Red Sox Players.  They viewed the succession of events as simply an anomaly and these things happen in baseball.  They have full confidence that if they persist in playing the game the way they know how they are certainly going to come back and be in contention. 

Whether they make it or not, this attitude is indicative of a strong personal and team effort.  We can either throw in the towel or learn from our mistakes and keep going.  It's really no different than following a rigid diet plan.  Just because you have a piece of chocolate cake after losing 50 pounds, you are not sabotaging your success.  You merely have to pick up the next day and continue to pursue those things that made you lose the weight in the first place. 

Think about this advice the next time you are working with employees who are particularly down about their jobs.  Part of our role as leaders is to ensure that we maintain a positve and persistent attitude even when times are tough.

We had a wonderful Canada Goose Yorkville Parka Red Down coat time just being together and sharing silly jokes, but the day soon turned serious by afternoon: still no sign of the dress of my Canada Goose Youth Chilliwack Bomber On Sale dreams. Both sisters were ready to give up and try another day in another town, but I coerced them into one more Men's Canada Goose PBI Expedition Parka boutique. I had a good feeling as we entered the quaint little shop filled with the scent of fresh flowers. The elderly clerk showed us several beautiful Canada Goose Chateau Mens Militarygreen gowns in my size and price range, but none were right. As I opened the door to leave, the desperate shop Como Parka For Sale owner announced she had one more dress in the back that was expensive and not even my size, but perhaps I might want to look at Men Langford Parka Outlet it anyway. When she brought it out, I squealed in delight. As life progresses and changes, we realize that who we are, (what makes us, us)... that is Canada Goose Banff Parka Mens what we are responsible for. We know that immediate gratification or irritation only pacifies or deteriorates our canada goose ladies trillium parka sale emotional stimuli short term. Our global view of how we see ourselves determines our state of montebello parka for women canada goose mind. Our state of mind determines our Happiness.So, how do we take control of canada goose cg55 kensington parka our emotions and find the path of Happiness? This seems to be the million dollar question. There are tons of Winter Ontario Parka Sale books on or related to the subject. You could read and practice until you are completely confused. Or, we could spend Canada Goose Citadel Parkas Mens Brown the rest of our life introspectively evaluating what makes us happy. Which might take Mens Snow Mantra On Sale more time and energy and actually frustrate us more.
