Professional musings of an old Maverick!

Business Development Executives – Triggering the real YOU!
Part - II

Welcome back to my world!

As we progress on our journey towards achieving par excellence in whatever we do as Business Development ‘Gladiators’ it is very important to first contemplate on what true Leadership really is. And why am I emphasizing on ‘Leadership’ when all that we need to know about are the Triggers I talked about in my first blog to you?

To begin a journey which will encompass several personal and professional attributes that will finally create a new YOU as a BDE, it is very vital first to understand the true meaning of LEADERSHIP. This is a key component in your pursuit towards Excellence and therefore a must to contemplate on.


During the several Leadership workshops that I have attended over the years conducted by a host of leadership ‘Gurus’, I have not even once heard them speak of the true essence of leadership! While all of them have spoken of various types of leadership and its constituents such as: Strategic Thinking, Man Management, Integrity, Loyalty, Vision, Planning and whatever have you…none of them ever threw light on the very concept of Leadership. What these so called ‘Gurus’ describe is not the essence of Leadership but merely its traits. It is like describing a beautiful shirt by its color, texture and prints while ignoring its very basic fabric! The millions of soft gossamer like cotton fibers made to entwine into strands of thread further closely knitted into a fabric with a texture so awesomely soft and pliant and yet tough enough to last almost a lifetime!

Hence, therefore, what is Leadership?

Leadership is not merely a matter of learning techniques, mental formulas and physical traits. Real leadership is a direct function of what we are and what we possess within and beyond ourselves in order to think from a higher level of consciousness. It is about discovering the very basic fabric that we exist of and not what we are supposed to be seeped in or what we need to finally become.

To discover the awe-inspiring leadership that already exists within you, you will first have to connect with your very Inner Being and discover the enormous Powers that exist within you embedded by the Universe, for you to seize every moment of your existence and turn it into splendid masterpieces of creativity and deliverance!

It is when you finally discover your Inner Being will all the traits that the world talks about will be found by you readily Within to exercise at will and to exist beyond a state of ‘self-ego’ to a wondrous state of selflessness leading each moment of your life in bliss and in harmony with the external. It is then that you will be able to think from a higher level of consciousness and become the true Leader both personally and professionally.

And of course, there is a way to achieve this. Let’s discover this next Monday together…

Have a wonderful week!!!
