What Drove this CEO’s Company’s Success? Being a More Generous Leader

How do you transform business challenges into opportunities for growth and success? Nancy Solari CEO of Living Full Out, TV and radio host, addresses that question  In her article How Being a More Generous Leader Drove My Company’s Success.   She discusses ways to minimize disruptions and navigate business setbacks. When it comes to winning, sometimes, all you can do is stay in the game, states Solari.  She provides readers with insight into the game of business.  Providing five key ways to meet some of the biggest challenges leaders can face

“Sometimes, all you can do is ”stay in the game”

Solaris guides the reader through five rules for winning when faced with tough business challenges. Challenges that can help you become a more generous leader, include:

1.      Be resourceful

2.      Be proactive

3.      Look for what is not visible

4.      Learn to let go

5.      Let others make you better

Solari explains that winning is about strategy,  and how learning to flip the game (the game of business) can help leaders meet hardship or difficulties head-on. She recommends moving with intention and staying on the offense.  Particularly her suggestions to look for situations that are not instantly noticeable – ones that could put you at risk are key reminders that we’re still in the game, and we need to plan for the inevitable.

“Plan for the inevitable”

It’s a great read and hits on some of the barriers we often place around ourselves.  For instance, people barriers, surrounding ourselves with others who always agree with us.  Better to seek out those who won’t tell us everything we want to hear.  How many on your team speak up with different ideas or perspectives?  How well can you relate to them?

This article is for the CEO, and leadership, the ones who need to find patience throughout a crisis. Not just the beginning and the end – but the whole crisis.  Through patience and consistency, you learn to nurture your product, brand, or service.    As Solair states, you have to learn to “transform business challenges into opportunities for growth and success”.

Being a generous leader is more than just money. It’s listening when you don’t want to. Being patient, consistent, and mindful of the future and events. Using the strategies you and your team develop to flip the game. Staying in the game, not giving up!

I highly recommend this article.  Pass it along to your upper-level executives and management teams.
