Awesomeness is Contagious!!
Being awesome is a great thing and it's contagious at the same time!!!
If you are awesome, your peers tend to get a taste of it and in the process imbibe some of your awesomeness.. A leader is as good as a team (the age old saying, no?). It is. But it holds true any day!! The great Jamaican Olympic 4 X 100 relay team is not just about Usain Bolt. It's also about Yohan Blake, Nesta Carter and Michael Frater. If the leader is awesome, he is certain to rub off some of his personality traits on his group members..
The work ethic, the approach towards job, the preparation and the attitude- all add up to success. Blend these all with a terrific competitiveness and you are bound to lay your hands on the trophy.
In today's era of high competition, being great is not enough. Its passe. You have to be awesome!! Awesome in what you preach and awesome in what you practice. To lift your team, you first have to lead the way and set the ball rolling. If you want your team to be punctual, you have to turn up before time; always. If you want your team to be meticulous in their preparation for a meeting, you have to set example by going into every detail and questioning the status quo; always. And yes, if you want your team to celebrate success, you have to raise a toast and rock the dance floor. Yup, always!!
If today, Apple is an empire, the never-say-die attitude of Steve Jobs is to be thanked. Even after being thrown out of the company at one point, he persevered, kept on hanging and never ever blinked once. And we all know the outcome, right?? He built and led a team of brilliant innovators and inculcated the very habit of never-say-die in them. iPhone, iPod, iPad, Mac are the results and benchmarks of innovation and technology. As a part of Jobs' team, Tim Cook too possesses the same qualities and hence, even after Jobs' demise, company has grown in its stature and the Apple brand is perceived to be the best in the world.
So, in a nutshell, we can construe that by being awesome yourself, you can lift your team to dizzy heights and set milestones to be envied for by others!!
Stay Awesome; always!!
