8.- Influence Influence, or being able to persuade people through thoughtful use of appropriate influencing tactics, is an important trait of inspiring, effective leaders. For some people, “influence” may sound unseemly. But as a leader, you must be able to influence others to get the work done — you cannot do it all alone. Influence is quite different from manipulation, and it needs to be done authentically and transparently. It requires high levels of emotional intelligence and trust. ⚔️♦️Centurion Security, S.A.♦️⚔️ PBX: (502) 2208 6161 [email protected] #CenturionSecurity #crisismanagement #businesscontinuity #riskmanagement #executiveprotection #threatassessment #SecurityConsultant #riskassessment #ExecutiveTransport #CloseProtection #travelsecurity #situationalawareness #protection #GPS #CCTV #Guatemala #CentralAmerica

United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby says that "Management is about compliance. Leadership is about inspiration and vision." According to Kirby, the difference between great leaders and mere managers is quite simple. Great leaders connect daily work with great goals, think of people as people, want to earn respect, are thrilled when team members achieve great things, empower people with honesty and transparency, understand that if the team falls short, they are responsible, and care mainly about results. In contrast, mere managers focus only on the short term, see only titles or organizational charts, want to be liked, are threatened by their team's achievements, parcel out information as if it costs them personally, blame the team, and are more concerned with process. Aspiring leaders should aim to inspire and lead their teams towards a common goal, rather than simply manage them.

Do you know why some companies have a successful security program? 🤔 The difference between successful and failed organizations in this field is not typically related to their budget or staff size. Instead, it is linked to having the right people in the right roles.

If this sounds familiar, you may be in a good spot. However, if this shakes your ground, you should assess your program to ensure you have the right people in the right roles.

LEADERS MUST DEFINE LOYALTY One major factor that makes a leader repose confidence in any of their team members or followers is, absolute loyalty. Every leader must be warned never to assume loyalty but to do a due diligence to be sure of its verity. Loyalty implies an unfailing faithfulness in the face of any temptation to renounce, desert, or betray a person. Leaders should always place a distinction between those who display loyalty because of the position the leader occupies and those who show loyalty because of the person of the leader. They are two different things. It means that a person may not like your person and still be loyal to you because they are compelled by some necessities that are warranted by circumstances. Such people abound in the workplace, whether public, corporate or military. They don’t like you but the fear of the possibility of losing their jobs, positions, promotions and other official privileges, is what make them to show loyalty. Of such people, leaders must be careful, they may end up becoming power usurpers. There are others, however, who show loyalty to you purely because of your person. Whatever they feel is wrong with the way you do things, will not still stop them from being loyal to you. These are those who will fight, if they need to, in defense of you, wherever your matter is tabled. They like to serve you beyond the ordinary. They like your inner qualities that made you who you are. In the place of workplace, even when they leave your employment for whatever reason, their loyalty will not dwindle. They are not many but they do exist. Even in searching for a life partner, don't go for those who are loyal to what you drive. Go for those who are loyal to what drives you. When you are able to decipher between the two, you will be able to know who should handle specific tasks or roles on your behalf or on behalf of your organization.

Trust at 15,000 Feet: What the Blue Angels Can Teach Us About High-Performing Team Dynamics After spotting the Blue Angels during a visit to the Treasure Coast, one of Being Collective’s founders became fascinated by their performance. The Blue Angels, the U.S. Navy's flight demonstration squadron, epitomize teamwork and trust. Each maneuver relies not just on individual skill but on unwavering trust among team members. Imagine being at the helm of an F/A-18 Hornet, slicing through the sky at nearly the speed of sound. Your life depends on the pilot flying inches away from you, whose movements must be as precise as your own. This is the reality for the Blue Angels, where each pilot must have complete confidence that their team members will execute their roles flawlessly. Commander Frank Weisser, a seasoned Blue Angels pilot, emphasized that his journey went beyond mastering the aircraft; it was about forging a profound bond of trust with his team. The Blue Angels fly in such close proximity that there's literally no room for error. This level of precision demands hours of practice, clear communication, and unwavering trust. Weisser recalled a harrowing moment of sudden turbulence during a flight. In that split second, he had to place absolute trust in his wingman because a single misstep could have led to a catastrophic mid-air collision. His wingman’s calm and precise adjustments ensured the safety of the entire formation. This incident underscores that trust is not just an abstract concept but a critical factor in navigating high-pressure situations successfully. Why is this relevant in the corporate sphere? Just as the Blue Angels must trust each team member to perform precisely to maintain safety and achieve their mission, so must corporate teams to succeed in today’s business environment. Harvard Business Review highlights three core principles essential for building trust within teams: 1️⃣ Transparency: Clear, open lines of communication ensure team members are well-informed and aligned. Leaders should share information openly, provide regular feedback, and encourage open communication. 2️⃣ Authenticity: Leaders must be genuine and self-aware, showing vulnerability and embracing the journey of growth. This builds a deeper connection with team members. 3️⃣ Reliability: Consistency in actions and responses builds reliability. Leaders should follow through on commitments, establish expertise, and demonstrate integrity and fairness. By incorporating these principles, teams can elevate their performance and create a supportive, innovative work environment, much like the Blue Angels. How has trust impacted your team’s performance?
