ARE YOU STOCK IN YOUR COMFORT ZONE?

The Transformational Leader Does Not Stop In This Zone.

Have you ever wondered in what areas you have not achieved what you want because you are in your comfort zone?

comfort zone

The comfort zone cannot be easily identified. This is an unseen danger because today’s success is not necessarily the success of tomorrow and what you know today is not enough for your next achievement.

This comfort zone becomes an obstacle that may be delaying a change or keeping you stuck, or not allowing you and/or your team to reach new levels of achievement.

CORPORATE CULTURE IN TODAY’S WORLD

Corporate Culture Takes An Organization To Success

It’s not a secret that successful companies like Google, Twitter, Chevron, Adobe, and other well-known organizations have one thing in common: a well developed corporate culture. Since their foundation, these companies have created, taught, and applied a corporate culture to such level of excellence, that each one of their employees feels safe and welcome.

Furthermore, as a result of such organizational culture, the workforce enjoys a higher morale and is committed to achieving their goals and share the vision of the company as owners, not employees.

How can you create a culture of success in your organization?

VISION: THE KEY ELEMENT OF EVERY LEADER.

How Can A Global Leader Articulate His Vision?

One of the hallmarks that every leader has is his vision. Vision is the indispensable element of every leader.

leader

Vision is what guides the leader. It allows him to visualize his goal. It gives him the internal energy to walk towards the future. Without vision, the leader does not have passion. Furthermore, nobody will follow him because he does not have a defined course. Walt Disney is the best example of this: he had a clear vision, which led him to success despite all his difficulties. Today we know how his vision materialized and still continues to be successful.

Is your vision clear and defined?
