Managing the ATTENTION as a Leader
The
title of this blog is managing attention as a leader in business.
I went to
mass today and then the last one of the readings was quite interesting, because
it said, in my own words, it said, those who boast, they will be humbled and
those were humble, they will be raised up. And I thought, hmm, isn't it
interesting? Wouldn't it this law or this rule also apply in our home based
business? So there is like two groups of leaders in network marketing out
there.
There's one group who are blowing their own trumpet, who are putting
themselves up on a pedestal all the time, and telling the world how great they
are, how amazing they are and how beautiful they are and what geniuses they
are. And there's nothing wrong with that. It's totally cool. You can definitely
do that if you want, but then there's another group of leaders who instead of
blowing their own trumpet, instead of trying to tell everybody how amazing they
are. Instead they do something else. They manage their attention.
Imagine
that the attention of other people was like a spotlight. Like that that big
Batman lamp, before they put the baton it, they have this huge spotlight and
you can control it. You can point that spotlight wherever, wherever you want.
So one option would be to turn it around and point it at yourself so everybody
can see you from far, far away how amazing leader you are etcetera. And that's
one way of doing it right. And there's a lot of people who do that and they do
it very successfully. But what I've seen super successful leaders do is use
that spotlight and point it on to other people.
So every call they do, every
training they do, every big stage speech they do, every recognition they do,
what they’re always trying to do, they’re trying to lift others up. They’re trying
to be humble, and say, hey, look, you know, like, I'm not a genius. You know,
I'm not a big shot here. But look at this amazing lady. And I may not know
everything but look at this incredible guy, what they do. And they're always
edifying and promoting their own leaders, their own team members, their own
company, their own staff, their own surrounding etcetera. So and what happens
because of that you would think of, but as the stupid move to make, because
everybody will be respecting those other people more than me, right?
Because
I'm giving away this attention. But I've been a witness of that time and time
again, when people do that. They only get more respect for it. They only get
more attention for it. They only get more edification for it, because everybody
goes, “Yeah, yeah, you just being too humble here. You know, we know what
you're doing. We know how you know incredibly you are.” But it's all about
managing that spotlight; it’s managing that attention because, again, everybody
craves for that attention. Everybody craves for that recognition. So the fact
that you're a leader, the fact that you've built a great team, the fact that
you're doing very well already lends itself to you getting that attention, to
you getting that recognition. But you taking time to recognize somebody who is
at the lower level than you, somebody who has been in the business for a
shorter time than you, for somebody who went out of the comfort zone to do
something, right for somebody who, really trying hard, can make a massive
difference in that person's life and I've seen it so many times where, you
know, somebody gets that recognition, and it transforms them.
You see them
light up, you see their day become much better now, because they've got that
recognition because they got that spotlight of attention on them and now
they're so happy, now they want to get on a stage next time now they want to
work even harder because they got recognized because they got that attention on
to them.
That's my message for you, try always you know every
meeting everywhere you go try and less people with attention with a compliment
with a something instead of just trying to pour all the attention on to
yourself you know because that's what most people do, they go yeah but what do
you need to hear about my story? Oh yeah but you need to hear about my problems
that I have. Yeah, but you need to see it and they’re trying so
desperately to draw the attention on to themselves and they don't get it.
Whereas when you give it is that's what you're going to attract even more of it
to yourself.
