The Thinking Behind The Tweet
We all have heard it takes two to tango. Tango requires people...two. Battles require people...at least one.
Battles are a fact of human nature.
The questions are:
- Do you back into battles or do you pick them well?
- Do you put logic to work before you select your battles?
- Are you really just battling yourself, for example - masking your prior errors?
- Does self-controlhelp you determine your battles and how you fight them?
- Do the battles you choose align with your strengths?

The Thinking Behind The Tweet
First, it is essential to do a good job of observing in order to properly perceive the How.
Then, with the How understood, the Why has an opportunity to become fully clear.
Finally, take time to understand why the Why either resonates or dis-harmonizes. This is the route to understanding whether Values are in sync or whether Values are likely to create interpersonal challenges and Culture problems.
(I mean - Culture problems within your business, your family, or your community.)

The Thinking Behind The Tweet
Sometimes they replace combative ways with kindness; sometimes they replace softer ways with assertiveness.
Other times they improve their voice, vocabulary, and body language to improve their communication style...adding clarity and power to it.
Great leaders are attuned to their habits, both the good ones and the bad ones. They choose to replace their bad habits with new things - adding good habits, habits proven to deliver positive results.
Beyond everything else, the greatest leaders are masters of self-awareness and self-control.
And they know leadership is an ongoing series of thought-and-action choices. So they define thought-and-action boundaries for themselves and they work continuously at living within those thought-and-action boundaries.
