This was another great saying from Poor Fred, and when you stop and think about it, how true it is. When someone is healthy, anything is possible. They can dream big, accomplish much, travel, create, and flourish. Yet, no matter how strong someone might be, or wealthy, powerful, smart, athletic, strategic...you name it, when someone is not healthy, they are basically incapable. They struggle to breathe, for basic things in life, for smiling, for relief from pain, even for something to look forward to. They need one thing, to feel better. If the health situation is more serious, their world literally stops. Everything else is not important, seems trivial and rather meaningless compared to their healing.
Organizations, businesses, teams, families and groups accomplishing a common vision (like taking care of clients) are really no different than a human being having the need for health. The health of an organization is vital to the success of the organization. So, in turn, the health (and I am not referring to physical) of the leader is in direct correlation to the health of the group.
To be considered in good health as a leader, one must do 5 key things:
- Communicate
- Delegate
- Trust Others
- Remain strategic
- Review and Adjust as required
