Turnaround Your Way to Performance and Effectiveness

Turnarounds give you an access of turning around your problems into creative solutions that place the power to create in your hand; and expand your and your team's performance & effectiveness. 

Here's how you work with them though you need to be ready to become bigger than who you are to really open yourself to their power.

Step 1: Identify your biggest problem at workplace. Let's say - Your team performance is impacted because Jack is not a team player.

Step 2: Ask yourself - Is it true? Is it really true? 
Give yourself the permission to fall into vulnerable authenticity.

Step 3: Ask yourself - How do I react when I believe the thought - 'The team performance is impacted because Jack is not a team player.' How do I react mentally, emotionally, physically when I believe this thought?

Step 4: Ask yourself - What would be available to me, who would I be if I did not have the capacity to believe this thought, if I did not have the capacity to even think this thought?

Is there even one reason to drop this thought, not that you have to?

Is there any stress-free reason to hold on to this thought?
​
Step 5: Ask yourself - What turnaround thoughts are just as true or maybe even more true than the original thought? Consider the following:

a. The team performance is not impacted because Jack is not a team player.

b. The team performance is impacted because I am not a team player.

c. The team performance is impacted because my thinking is not a team player.

d. The team performance is not impacted because I am willing to let Jack not be a team player.

e. The team performance is not impacted because I look forward to Jack not being a team player as it gives me an opportunity to grow as a leader.

Which of the above turnaround thoughts move you into freedom, remove the stress from your mind, the tightness from your body? 

The ability to turn-around and look at the mirror for the source of what all is not working out there requires Agility of Mind™, which is the first Gear of Leadership.

You can lead your organization from good to great, just that it needs you to be willing to lead yourself from good to great. The outside always reflects the inside. 

Refer to Byron Katie's Loving What Is and work with your coach to discover your blind-spots. Blind spots are limiting ways of being that you are blind to (unaware of), which keep you disconnected from your inherent genius; your inner source of limitless performance, productivity, creativity and innovation. The only time I won't have blind spots is the day I am being burnt on the funeral pyre or getting buried under the ground because living is about growing and growth happens only when you are discovering your blind spots.
