Theme 2: Achieving Success

What leads to successful outcomes for leaders. There are several strategies that can be applied and can have a huge impact on an organisation. Here are 5 which have worked for me.

1. Having a clear understanding of what it is you want to achieve: 

One strategy we used Te Uru Tarata Lemonwood Grove School, was starting with the end in mind (future perfect) and then back mapping the steps needed to achieve the outcome we desired.

2. Work ethic: 

I was taught from an early age the importance of working hard to achieve your goals in life. With this understanding comes skills and behaviours such as grit, determination, tenacity, resiliency and most importantly belief. 

3. Recording Sucess:

I record the wins and progress I have either on a template on my laptop or a journal. Nothing is more satisfying than looking back at these recordings at the end of a day or week and reflecting on what has been achieved.

4. Ensuring disappointment or disapproval don't get in the way: 

If you feel passionate about something, you will do all you can to achieve success. When people know your genuine purpose and intentions, they will often do all they can to support your cause.

5. Gratitude:

Be grateful for the success you are having by either thanking the universe or the person who helped you get to your outcome. I often write quick emails to personally acknowledge people who have helped me. This is also a great way to build great connections and relationships with others.
