The Inner Secrets Of Leadership – Chapter 11 – Patience

Each and every thing you do has a gestation period. Just like a baby growing in a womb or a seed of wheat germinating inside the soil, all processes have a certain amount of time in which the mystery of creation should work for maturation to be complete. That's why patience is, maybe, the ultimate virtue of the leader. Just as a farmer should be individual although the harvest grows, each and every leader learns to be patient although waiting for that seeds to grow up in his or her existence. Patience is, possibly, the ultimate virtue of the leader. Obviously, patience is tied to planning. For instance, should you know you need to make a single hundred cold calls in order to create 5 sales and it takes you a whole day to make five calls, then you know it will be ten days before you meet your quota. That ten day phase is the gestation period. Should you try to shorten it simply because of personal financial pressures, you'll injure the procedure. Patience is, possibly, the ultimate virtue of a leader. Patience involves consistency.

You must be steadfast and constant in allowing the seed of leadership to spring from the soil of your heart.

I will also tell you that this is one of the most difficult inner secrets for many leaders including me.

I am so fired up and focused that I want results NOW, but that is like wanting a baby six months after conception.

It just doesn't work that way. Very often, NOW is not possible or even desirable in the larger pattern. Growth is a process. Some things just take time in order to mature properly. Write and say this right now: I am a patient Leader! Just as a farmer must be patient while the harvest grows, every leader learns to be patient while waiting for the seeds to grow up in his or her life. Patience is, perhaps, the ultimate virtue of a leader.
