Leading Freedom and Personal Accountability

November 16, 2012 Keith Lawrence Miller Business and Personal Coaching, Current Events, Entrepreneurship, Leadership Development, politics, Social Economics No comments

What is freedom and what is it worth to you?

When I think about the meaning of Freedom:

I think about…

U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights

Genocide and Communism

Cuba’s Socialism and Socially Constricting Religious Constructs

Science and Speech

Woman’s rights and Capitalism

Trade and Entrepreneurism

 

Ultimately, Freedom is not perfect, but together, we collaborate for a perfect solution. We are still in the process of developing a perfect bubble, and unilaterally, we are still bound by our history. The bounding of our history has pros and cons which affect the rate of speed in which we progress. We have a President who is not a King, and does not act on our behalf in an autocratic fashion.

Yet, people (in general) “feel” or unconsciously desire this automaton belief as reality because there is an inner Need for the world to be simplified from its complexity. Freedom is the reason we do what we do on a daily basis and the war cry that brought us to this point in time as Americans.

Freedom is a sensitive ideal that we have come to take for granted and our freedom needs a donation. Our leaders have led us astray, and the system has not adjusted to our selfishness. We are all guilty of living beyond our means, and I personally, feel an obligation to repay the debt I created. In truth, we are living better than any civilization that has come before and I wake each day thankful for having this unique opportunity to live during this moment in time.

Accountability

Do you make over 250k per year? Probably not…

It is a luxury to earn over 250k per year and live like royalty of yesteryear. The platform of Freedom has provided for this wonderful ability that in theory is available to us all. The U.S. has been the conduit of Freedom, and we are responsible, as citizens, to bail out our collective piggishness.

Under Clinton, our country had a surplus and escorted in the age of the Internet. Under Bush, our country ushered in the age of war and terrorism. There may or may not be a correlation between the tax cuts, but prosperity seems to be a better option. We are over 14 Trillion dollars in debt and this debt is no one person’s fault. We have all reaped the rewards of excess regardless of socio-economic status. Those in the upper levels of income have enjoyed above average rewards. The Fiscal Cliff is upon us and our President is requesting those of us who have prospered to lend a supportive hand financially and pay a fair share towards supporting this country.

The politics may be thick in excess, and people by nature, may become corrupt with power, and persuaded by financial gain, but our core values as a country has endured through more difficult times. We are more privy to information than at any other time in history and the stakes are higher than they have been before. Our environment is at odds and our greediness has reached a tipping point.

As Americans, we donate more than any other country in the world. Now, we need to donate to the society that made us rich in many ways from financial to intuitive. People struggle to earn enough money to meet their needs to merely survive and others have surpassed that phase by either hard work or the luck of the draw. We need to dig in our heels and support our country as a United-Team instead of a bi-partisan aloof.

We need solutions — people express their dissatisfaction, but fail to offer a reasonable solution. People are quick to negate any progress in support of the status quo. Change brings stress, and by nature, people are fearful of uncertainty. We need to jump from the metaphorical plane, without a safety net, and make the necessary decisions that may be overall unpopular. However, we all want more, but we have to learn to be thankful when our plate is full.

Appreciating the moment for what it is instead of criticizing the moment for it is not is an essential feature that brings true happiness to our lives. Concentrating on what we do not have will only bring increased emptiness. Being thankful for the little things as well as the big things will continue to generate unlimited bliss.

One final note – the man with everything felt as if he had nothing and the woman with nothing felt as if she had everything. Perception is reality, and we are richer, as individuals, than we give ourselves credit. Giving is receiving and being thankful is the recipe for success. There is never failure when you are thankful for the moment. There is always a silver lining in every cloud and there is always a bright side during the darkest times. We learn through suffering and we thrive though community. Our collective passion for the greatness of our core is the commonality that will win the day.

Leadership coaching is about enhancing leadership skills and abilities by enhancing the leader within. Targeting and understanding the underlying processes that make us tick creates a necessary awareness that enables superior leadership. All leadership is not equal and the correct developmental process separates the good from the great. We develop great leaders.

This is a free service offered to touch the lives of developing leaders. We believe that everyone is capable of being a leader and that leadership begins with leading the self. The material we offer goes above and beyond the generic leadership content found on other leadership sites such as mission, vision, and tactics of leadership. Rather, we expand on these processes and include the real human aspect and psychological foundation of making a connection that by association inspires followers to go above and beyond what is required. Additionally, these writings are geared to elicit behaviors that make leaders more follower-friendly, and attempt by diffusion, to refine the skills needed to lead successfully.

Michelle On Leadership

September 6, 2012 Keith Lawrence Miller Business and Personal Coaching, Current Events, Leadership, Leadership Development, Personal and Professional Development, politics, Social Economics No comments

michelle obama on leadershipThe 9 systems of leadership are relational, psychological, leverage of power, leverage of skill, negotiation, sacrifice, responsibility, living in paradox, and vision. Michelle Obama’s Democratic National Convention speech effectively and seamlessly touched on the leadership system which is why her speech has been revered by the public and critics alike.

Relational

Her speech began with forming a connection and her perspective and life experience is relatable to 99% of all Americans. We understand the American struggle and the perseverance our ancestors displayed in desperate times for survival. She touched on a common connection that we all share and explained how she and her family share the same existence.

Psychological

Leadership is psychological and enlightened by the ability to manage the stress of others caused by changing times. She told stories that incited strong emotions related to challenging situations that her family and the American people have experienced. She expressed her understanding of these situations and how they as a family have dealt with these experiences in the past. She explained how President Obama does not flinch in times of challenge, but rather, he moves forward with wisdom and compassion.

Leverage Power and Skill

Leadership leverages power to provide for the needs of others by creating security, individual respect for the self and for others, an aura of acceptance and unity, the spirit of love, by creating meaning opportunities, and encouraging achievement. Michelle Obama spoke about the foundation of her family which is love. Love is the central mandatory theme for all successful leadership. A leader without love is a castle without furniture. Michelle Obama vividly showed through her speech that love to her family is everything. She expressed that their love is strong – strong enough to share with the world. By diffusion, these concepts led to inspiration for many Americans and non-Americans around the world because her speech spoke to the fact that her and her husband started from humble beginnings. She spoke to the meaning of hard work and belief in a greater good. The concept of giving back and not shutting the door on others is an American value that we all need to embrace and giving back was central to Obama’s leadership.

Negotiation

Michelle’s calm demeanor is evidence of her high-level of self-awareness and superior confidence in her truth. She and her husband have shown the ability to control their emotions during difficult times and be incredibly accepting of conflicting feedback. These abilities are the skills that all leaders need in order to be successful. Michelle spoke strongly about her family values and how they align with American values. Leadership values depend on the culture it leads and the alignment of these values is essential to gain buy-in from the public at large.

Negotiating a situation with a steadfast commitment to values predicts choices during complexity. She spoke about the most difficult situations crossing the President’s desk and there being no justification for a specific right or a wrong answer. She explained that these pressure-driven choices are made based on the values the President holds and that his values are the same as America’s values. This concept enables the American public to embody the President’s mentality during difficult decision-making and develop a level of empathy because people could relate to the thought-process involved.

Sacrifice

Leadership is sacrifice and Michelle spoke about Barack not accepting higher paying positions in exchange for advocating for peoples’ rights because it was the right thing to do. President Obama has shown the mandatory motivation to be a successful leader. He has stood strong for something meaningful to others for most of his political career. Servant leadership builds trust and trust mediates the speed of success. Her speech was geared at regaining the trust they have lost through conflicting allegations that have portrayed their leadership in negative light. Michelle spoke about the sincerity they feel for the American people and the sacrifice that her family has made in order to obtain their leadership position. She spoke about the concern she had for her family adapting to the national spotlight.

Responsibility

Leadership is responsibility and without responsibility there is no leadership. The position of the President of the United States comes with the most situational responsibility in the world. Leaders accept large amounts of responsibility and thrive when the pressure is on. Michelle Obama spoke about enacting the new healthcare law and the responsibility President Obama felt that enabled him to make the difficult choices that were needed to complete the passing of the law. President Obama also took responsibility for the passing of the Equal Pay Act and repealing Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. These are controversial issues that are highly contested, but President Obama took a stand for what he believed was right based on his values system. Michelle spoke about the enormous responsibility that President Obama felt for the American people and the successes that were achieved because of the circumstances.

Paradox

Leadership is about living in paradox – living in moments of complete uncertainty with no clear answers – the “damned if you do and damned if you don’t” moments. Leadership is full of these moments and accepting an imperfect existence is essential to leading with a clear mind and a clear heart. Dwelling on past events or concern for current ambiguous situations greatly decrease leadership ability. A successful leader uses these paradoxical situations to inspire action and commitment through calmness and honesty. Leaders like Lincoln and Washington were masters of paradox and Michelle spoke about the challenges that faced the Obama leadership over the duration of the presidency. The challenges were vast and complicated. They were compared to the previous presidential challenges of Teddy Roosevelt during the Great Depression and the contention and confrontation of the GOP during every step of Obama’s leadership. These were some of the paradoxical dilemmas that his administration faced.

Vision

Leadership is vision and Michelle Obama spoke about Barack Obama’s vision from when they first met and how it has evolved over time. She spoke about his vision having a foundation in American values and his belief in the strength of America. His vision includes the opportunity for a superior education for everyone, the ability to get proper healthcare when needed, and the ability to live the American dream for all. She spoke of the vision of the next generation being greater than us and having the opportunity to provide for the vision. The vision is full of inspiration, commitment, concern, love, opportunity, empowerment, responsibility, and unity to make the vision a reality.

Michelle Obama is a great leader. Without Michelle there is no Barack. She is the foundation of their family and showed her strength and courage in front of hundreds of millions of people from around the world. In my opinion, she deserves the title of America’s first lady and has lived up to the title with style, grace, and leadership.

Strategy Demystified

August 19, 2012 Keith Lawrence Miller Business and Personal Coaching, career coaching, Leadership, Leadership Development, Personal and Professional Development, politics, Social Economics One comment

The term strategy is widely used and applied to many processes and situations in which are not strategy. The concept of strategy is misused in many circumstances and not truly understood. Most people look like a deer in the headlights when “Strategy” is mentioned. The following is a quick and concise guide to understanding “Strategy”. The thought leader behind the following is Richard P. Rumelt and his book is “Good Strategy – Bad Strategy” and I highly recommended it.

“A good strategy honestly acknowledges the challenges being faced and provides an approach to overcoming them….Strategy selects the path, identifying how, why, and where leadership and determination are to be applied” – Richard P. Rumelt

There are three (3) elements of strategy:

  1. Diagnosing the challenge
  2. Guiding the policy
  3. Taking reasoned action
  • First you have to “define the challenge” in order to create a strategy.
  • The strategy has to be practical and has to address the critical issues instead of ignoring them.

Goals are not strategies – This is a common mistake so make sure you understand the difference.

“Strategy defines the framework for taking action to meet goals” –Keith Lawrence Miller

Defining a strong strategy

  1. A strong strategy stands a strong chance of accomplishing its mission.
  2. A strong strategy builds strength through its design.
  3. A strong strategy applies strengths to the most promising opportunity.
  4. A strong strategy allows for mission pivots or timely adjustments to deal with new conflicting information.
  5. When creating a strategy, you always need to consider the competition.

Questions to Create a Strong Strategy

  1. What are the competitions strengths and weaknesses?
  2. What are our strengths and weaknesses?
  3. Where are the leverage points?
  4. Where are the opportunities?
  5. What are the risks involved?
  6. How can we put pressure on the competition to take away their focus from their strengths?
  7. What is the hidden power of the situation that neither side has identified?

“Leadership needs more than charisma and vision – Leadership needs a solid strategy” – Richard P. Rumelt and Keith Lawrence Miller (combined)

What you talkin bout Willis | Twitter Uncensored

What happened to Freedom of Speech? Social media is an extension of our social freedom of speech. Amazon was recently regulated to pay taxes. They had a previous unfair competitive advantage for years because of slow Internet regulations regarding sales tax.

The connection is this: our freedom of speech is compromised when using social media. The written word has multiple meanings depending on who is interpreting the information. This leads to miscommunication and unavoidable conflict. People’s thoughts and opinions are shared on the world’s social medium and they have a free right to their opinion; regardless of who disagrees, regardless of hurt feelings, and regardless of what is right or wrong.

People in the public eye have fallen victim to unfortunate criticisms for their shared beliefs. Congress needs to act on extending our freedom of speech to social media and either grant full inclusion or create a system with asterisks. An asterisk that I am in favor of would be threats of physical harm on another person and direct bullying. I’m sure there are others, but those are the first two that stand out.

People are conducting private conversations in public and their words are analyzed and reinterpreted into a meaning that fits into the viewer’s belief system. We find what we are looking for and if you look hard enough you will see it. A statement meant a certain way can be taken completely out of context and innocent people’s careers could end up destroyed.

Final words: When people believe in something that goes against what we believe in; that does not make what they believe in wrong. People are entitled to their opinions, and should not be publicly humiliated. It is not okay to perpetrate defamation of character on someone because we disagree with them or what they have said. It is okay to share our opposing beliefs and all people should feel free to express themselves without fearing retribution.

We all have different opinions and that is what makes us human. We need to start to learn to accept this fact and use it to our advantage.

In short: Be careful what you share in public, because it can, and will, be used against you, in a court of law, at work, against your family, and in a public forum, until Congress acts on our behalf.

Identifying Visionary Leadership on the 4th of July

July 4, 2012 Keith Lawrence Miller Business and Personal Coaching, Entrepreneurship, Leadership, Leadership Development, Personal and Professional Development, politics, Social Economics, succession planning No comments

The 4th of July, a day in history that presented the U.S. Declaration of Independence and changed the face of the world forever. The magnanimous courage expressed by the founding fathers was simply extraordinary. Opposed by a superior force and committed to an “all or nothing” strategy that yearned for independence. The 4th of July represents a true uniting vision that stimulated a resounding victory which has led to inspiring billions of people to have faith and courage in the face of fear. The 4th of July is a trademark of freedom and a symbol of visionary leadership that is constantly recognized and praised throughout the world.

The culmination of great minds who seen a healthier future and understood the consequences decided to take a leap of faith. Signing the Declaration of Independence sent a clear message that Americans were going to fight for Independence at all costs. The 4th of July was a day where Americans declared a war on tyranny and provided the foundation for democracy.

The unique system that was crafted beginning back in the late 1700s has stood the test of time and has been a blueprint for successful democracy. The future is unknown as it was back on this day in 1776, but our forefathers provided a design for leadership success that guides us further into the future.

  1. Make a meaningful decision that has a greater meaning than the self in mind and that has a greater call to action than one can imagine.
  2. Never relent on your vision and continue to improve the road to victory as you travel.
  3. Understand that tomorrow has to be improved upon by acting today.
  4. Lead with courage and integrity against all adversity.
  5. Hold with confidence in the face of fear and uncertainty.
  6. Craft a message that is beyond our years and reverberates with people in the future.
  7. Form partnerships with others who have an ability to contribute to the mission.

Leadership is about inspiring action and enabling others to draw their own design that aligns with the overall vision. Leadership is about creating vision that clearly identifies a better future and allows others to view the grand reconstructed beauty. The value of great leadership is priceless and the accomplishments forecasted by our forefather’s vision still echoes of intense commitment heard around the world.

We live today to nurture the visualization of freedom, independence, and democracy. The words crafted into the U.S. Constitution are the foundation of democracy and govern the laws that protect our freedoms. The incredible advances over the past 100+ years hold homage to the vision declared on the 4th of July in 1776. Let us celebrate what so many willingly gave their lives to develop and protect. Freedom.

We NEED Ethical Leadership

GlaxoSmithKline to pay 3 billion in fines for bribing MDs to prescribe and illegally promote Paxil, Wellbutrin and Avandia where it was not regulated by the FDA and withheld research showing adverse effects (i.e. stroke).
MDs need to be held responsible for prescribing and endangering patients lives when they knew of the consequences.
Medical licenses should be stripped.
MDs take the Hippocratic oath and it doesn’t state that they should endanger people for their own financial gain.

When leadership is corrupt, companies and followers crash and burn.
We need ethical leadership.
Collateral damage in the name of individual wealth is unacceptable.
We need accountability and transparency.
Checks and balances, oaths and laws, trust and integrity, are foundational and need to be leveraged for the greater good.
This is a prime example of why leadership is extremely valuable and important.
Crash and burn or survive and thrive? I know what Leadership I want to follow.

Leadership on U.S. Health and asking “HOW” for Long-Term Success

June 28, 2012 Keith Lawrence Miller Business and Personal Coaching, Entrepreneurship, health and wellness, Leadership Development, Personal and Professional Development, politics, Social Economics 4 comments

Click here —> Leadership on U.S. Health Care <— for the audio

The current health system is broken. Corruption, theft, and incompetence are a few of the problems. Health is the basic essential to living a satisfied life and everything else is extra. Everyone needs to take responsibility and end the blame game. Requiring everyone to have health insurance is not an “I” decision – it’s a “WE” decision and a brave first step in making proper changes.

We could probably agree that it’s not a perfect solution, and there will be growing pains. But, isn’t it about the greater good or is it about “I”? Was there a better proposed solution? “We need solutions not critics”. We need to have a “long” time perspective to succeed.

“United we Stand, Divided we fall” –- “Divide and Conquer”

These are famous sayings because they are TRUE. Democracy is a unique experiment that was invented by our great leaders of the past. It was our forefather’s vision that provides our current security and it is our responsibility to pay that “VISION” forward.

Leadership is about having a concept about the future. Long time-orientation provides greater wealth and achievement. Having a long-term plan is a mandatory action for success. Great organizations survive storms with great leadership, and great leadership is about forecasting future events that could compromise continuous development.

Short-sighted thinking is a sure way to achieve failure. A narrow focus on yesterday and today will lead to a less than desirable tomorrow. The future is a leader’s greatest concern.

Accomplishment is possible regardless of where you begin as long as you can set a realistic path to achieve your goals. The only limitation is the one we allow ourselves to believe.

Asking “HOW” is the critical question that creates possibilities and solutions. “HOW” creates strategies and innovation. “HOW” makes all things possible. HOW can you be the leader of yourself and HOW can you inspire others to LEAD.

Leadership is “Living your Life to the Fullest”. Fulfill your GOD-given potential: LEAD with LOVE, Ask “HOW” to create solutions, Lead with a better Vision of the future, BELIEVE that you can do anything that you focus on doing, and support the continued momentum that makes our civilization great.

Leadership Essentials: Public Speaking

June 23, 2012 Keith Lawrence Miller Business and Personal Coaching, career coaching, Entrepreneurship, Leadership Development, Personal and Professional Development, politics, Social Economics, succession planning 4 comments

Public speaking is the #1 feared activity which is why leadership is magnified through the lens of public speaking.  Great leadership is communicated with a superior ability to provide dynamic speeches in public that capture people’s imaginations.

The public speaking platform is essential for leadership and developing the ability to communicate effectively to large audiences is crucial for leadership excellence.

Great leaders such as JFK and MLK are instantly recognized by only a few letters because their ability to communicate in the public speaking forum transformed our world and culture. Their legacies have grown because new generations view their legendary speeches which speak volumes about them as individuals. Powerful speakers create a magical connection with their viewers that is simply captivating and is the basis of leadership.

The art of public speaking can be learned by any motivated individual who desires to make an impact with their leadership communication. A very skilful communicator creates a connection, motivation, inspiration, and action through their command of message and the relatability of their communication style.

Becoming a presidential type speaker takes time and deliberate practice is needed to develop the necessary skills. Some people have the natural gift of gab and are fearless in front of large crowds, but this is not typical of everyone.

Ronald Reagan, known as the “Great Communicator”, developed his speaking abilities first as an actor and then as a spokesperson for General Electric (GE) touring the country for over a decade. He developed his public speaking abilities that transformed him from an actor into the President of the United States of America. “Public speaking is a vital Leadership skill”.

Action Steps for Improving Leadership with Public Speaking

Learn to cultivate your personal story and practice communicating to audiences. Start small to gain confidence and then expand to keep challenging yourself after you become comfortable. The rule is, “if you are too comfortable, then you are not challenging yourself enough”.

I recommend initially videotaping yourself giving speeches which will allow you to be your first critic and reduce flaws before presenting to your first audience. Video feedback has been found to be one of the best ways to give and receive feedback. You won’t believe how you really look…

Secondly, joining a public speaking group such as Toastmasters.org or taking a Dale Carnegie public speaking class will increase your learning ability and simultaneously provide community support from like-minded people. Lastly, the cheaper way to develop your public speaking would be reading a book and I recommend “Stand and Deliver” – a small book that packs a large punch.

If your aim is to be a leader then public speaking is an essential skill you must develop for success.

The Future of Leadership

June 22, 2012 Keith Lawrence Miller Business and Personal Coaching, career coaching, Entrepreneurship, Leadership Development, Personal and Professional Development, politics, Social Economics, succession planning 7 comments

According to Abraham Maslow, Peter Drucker’s management principles accurately apply to the leaders who have evolved and are at the top of human development. These leaders have met all of their requirements in life and their needs are fulfilled. The strategies purported by Peter Drucker neatly fit the lifestyle of the prototypical leader.

Applying Peter Drucker’s principles to leadership is an effective way to operate with efficiency and success. However, these tactics are only effective for a small minority of leaders.

Today, leadership is not based on old-school principles of preformatted industry giants with similar executive knowhow who replace each other with symmetry. Rather, the leadership role has embraced different styles and types of individuals that compliment the change in society at large. Tomorrow’s leadership will continue to diversify and change in lockstep with the ever adapting economy. The knowledge economy has shifted responsibilities of leadership to a new breed of self-starters and entrepreneurs who do not possess the skills required from a leader who fits into Peter Drucker’s leadership principles.

Employees are more informed, consumers are more informed, the media keeps leaders honest, and the distance between yesterday and today is vast. Differentiated leaders will be the norm, and differentiation will be the requirement for continued economic success. The leadership dynamics have changed in some places, and will change in most places in the near future.

Leadership is not an isolated position as it once was, but rather, an all-inclusive “lead from the center” task that requires more interpersonal sophistication and greater self-awareness than ever before.

The landscape of leadership is not a “one size fits all” equation and all the gimmicks such as the top five qualities list will not suffice for enhanced effective leadership. Rather, leadership is simpler than it may appear. Leadership is at times scripted because people are still sensitive, but the old playbook has evolved into a more advanced scheme.

The power distance has decreased which has exposed the leadership position to increased scrutiny. The generational gap once highly guarded at the leadership position has been removed and the unassuming are taking the leadership reins. These young guns are not the prototypical leader of the past. They have to fill the leadership role with effectiveness in order for success because the leadership position is a critical component to the operations of the business.

The younger leader has to meet the leadership demand with attentiveness and ingenuity that requires a set of prior needs to be met that comes with experience. The time has not been amassed to produce the life satisfaction needed to bring desired competence to the leadership position. Regardless, the leadership task needs to be met and alternative methods need to be addressed to compensate for the lack of life experience. These are weaknesses that need to be developed into competence and designed strengths need to be maximized and leveraged to achieve leadership success.

Implementing techniques to facilitate the learning sequence using a shortcut method is the ideal approach for today’s young leader. A bold prediction follows: The leaders of today will surpass the leaders of yesterday because there are more weapons available for development, there is more openness for accepting failure, and the leadership role has expanded to include those from any race, creed, or color. The talent that is allowed to develop today is far and wide. The internal competition will fuel results and the inclusion will empower the once excluded into our super leaders of the future.
