What are the most successful core leadership traits?

Hi Joanne

When I was in the Army, there was a men’s corps and a women’s corps. We lived in separate barracks, trained in separate locations, etc. However, there were times when we had combined operations.

The difference in experience between training on our own and being with men was like night and day.

In the women’s corps we were much more connected to one another. Everything got done in a timely manner, and there was a flow to our interactions. It was a pleasant environment in general. When we had joint operations with (or for) the men’s corps, we operated with precision, using Command leadership in the right context. Both ways got the job done effectively but the experience of connection and flow was very different (as was the satisfaction level).

Makes sense, doesn’t it?

The holistic approach

Over the years I have used the conventional, data-based, singular-focused version of medical care. It was okay, but I was never quite satisfied. So, I decided to explore alternative medicine, and I LOVE it. Instead of looking at all the separate parts of me, alternative doctors take a holistic approach, treating the mind, body, and spirit together. The results I’ve experienced with alternative medicine have been amazing.

I believe that my outstanding results happened for the same reason the women’s corps was a much better experience than the one with the men’s corps. Western medicine is based in Command — analysis, more focus than big picture, action-oriented, and not two-way conversational.

Alternative medicine doctors take on the role of an advisor, taking a holistic point of view, considering what you have to say, and offering options for you to choose for yourself.

Doesn’t that sound like a better way to lead?

So, can you lead in a holistic manner and still get projects completed on time?


Be courageous — dare to lead!
