What is the scale that separates leaders from non-leaders?

Most people confuse leadership with management, especially among the executives in organisations. The only real challenge to achieving great leadership is to understand it. Most managers and leaders are lost in mistaken business beliefs and practices inherited from the industrial and factory model of management. Kamil presents a solution in his book Separating Grain from […]

It all starts with purpose.

Great leaders are those who found their purpose, created meaning for their lives and inspired others to transform theirs. They are part of a mission that is bigger than themselves. Such leaders are fully aware that their organizations can have an impact not only within their organizations but socially, environmentally, economically, and globally. This is […]

What is your manifesto?

In other words, what is your philosophy? What are you trying to tell the world? What are you standing firm for? What are your values, beliefs, and principles? What is your vision? What is your purpose?

Rethink your life

Is your life intentional or coincidental? Are you living your life with a well- thought-out plan, or it is taken for granted? Does what you do in life give you a deep satisfaction, make you fulfilled, proud, and excited to wake up the next day? Do you know? What drives you? What moves you? What […]

It does not cost money to do that, but it does require a radical behavioral change in putting people first before […]

If an organization is purposeless

If an organization is purposeless, their vision statement is a bunch of words that does not add up. It is born dead. Without a clearly articulated purpose, the organization cannot command its leadership responsibility. Purpose is the difference that you are making in the world. Vision is how the world would look like when you […]

Purpose is not a luxury.

All of us have been conditioned and influenced by our parents, friends, teachers, and colleagues. Therefore, most of us have been pressured to pursue certain things in life which probably did not add any satisfaction and value to our lives. The power of purpose is in refocusing and realigning our deepest passions, desires, experiences, and […]

Purpose determines the impact

Great businesses are measured by their leaders’ purposes in terms of their clarity and consistency. It is the leader’s purpose that draws the big picture for the whole business, its broader contribution, and its final impact. This is the core of leadership. If the impact is positive, the business purpose is sound, if it is […]
