SEVEN HABITS OF EAGLES LEADERSHIP.
1. EAGLES FLY ALONE AT HIGH ALTITUDE.
Stay away from narrow-minded people. Keep good company—because the people you hang around with will eventually be whom you will become. There is a verse found in I Corinthians 15:33 that says, “Bad company corrupts good morals.” The interpretation of that verse is simple; you become like those you hang around with.
2. EAGLES HAVE VISION.
No matter the obstacles, the eagle will not move his focus from the prey until he captures it. Have a vision—remained focused. One of the ways to enhance the vision is to clear all distractions in your mind and reflect on this: If there were no obstacles in front of me, I would chase ...? Don’t let the past hold you back nor the present keep you paralyzed, but press forward to the unlimited possibilities of the future. I love the saying: “Let the past comfort you, the present prepare you, and the future unleash possibilities.”
3. EAGLES ARE FEARLESS AND NEVER SURRENDER TO THE SIZE OR STRENGTH OF IT'S PREY.
No matter what the size of your problem—don’t give up. Instead, face it. Successful people are fearless! They face problems head on. The fear of failure and the opinion of others are two of the greatest fears a leader must overcome. Afraid of failing is not the goal; it is the process of being successful.
4. EAGLES ARE TENACIOUS.
They love storms. They use the strong winds of the storm to lift themselves higher and higher to glide and thereby to rest. Achievers are not afraid of challenges! They use them to look for opportunities and don’t get bogged down in the problem. Determination is going beyond the limitations you thought you could not pass.
5. EAGLES NEVER EAT DEAD THINGS.
This is kind of gross but the lesson is not. Do not rely on the past success—keep looking for new frontiers/opportunities to conquer.
6. EAGLES PREPARE FOR TRAINING.
People who are used to moving fast and flying high are easily frustrated by people who want to hold them back. Always challenge your people or staff to get out of their comfort zone but never out of their strength zone.
7. EAGLES POSSESS VITALITY.
We need to occasionally shed off old habits of things that burden us and add no value to our lives. Discover a person’s passion, hopes, and dreams, and then help them reposition so that they work according to their strengths. Show them how they contribute to the organization. This will produce the vitality and sustain the energy not only for the person but for the team and the organization.
