Promote Civility at Work through Blissful Leadership

Become more than a traditional leader. Become the BLISSFUL leader who practices civility every day with

5 Steps to Blissful Leadership

1. Knowledge - More than just knowing you job and the responsibility that goes along with it, the Blissful way to knowledge is through knowing yourself. Through self-knowledge, you find out what you're capable of. With knowledge comes understanding. You understand the kind of leader you are, the kink you are perceived to be, and the kind you want to be.

2. Vision - More than just looking forward, vision is also about seeing things as they really are. Seeing challenges as opportunities. Seeing mistakes as learning tools. Vision for Blissful Leadership is about focusing on your strengths and the ability to map out a direction toward opportunities.

3. Integrity - This involves doing what you know is right, based on your beliefs and values. People often confuse integrity with honesty. Writer, Spencer Johnson says, "Integrity is telling myself the truth. And honesty is telling the truth to other people." Integrity is what you know to be true and honest and behaving as such, whether anyone sees you or not.

4. Creativity - Creativity allows you to imagine possibilities. Tap into your creativity to:

• Create programs of interest
• Channel and pool the energy of your teammates
• Solve unexpected issues with resourceful solutions
• Strengthen your individualism and express ideas freely
• Create enthusiasm, inspire support and motivate disillusioned groups of people

5. Time - This involves time management in the traditional sense of schedules, appointments, projects and plans; but it also involves the ability to manage the elements of time to deal with what is happening in the present time and place. Keep your attention on your 'present' and when situations appear, take care of them issue by issue -- moment by moment.
