What’s Your Leadership Mantra?
The Oxford Dictionary gives us the late 18th century origin of the word “mantra” as: “Sanskrit, literally ‘a thought, thought behind speech or action’, from man- ‘think’, related to mind.” We all have mantras. When working with groups of up and coming leaders I describe it as how others see us or how we see ourselves. Sometimes I even introduce it as what others say about us when we are not there. Yesterday in our 3D Leadership training for North and South Carolina we did a reflection exercise where participants got to do a graphic representation of their mantra and leadership legacy. I was blown away by the great work they did. Honestly, they speak for themselves, so I am going to post them all as the content of this post. Here they are, enjoy:
Hopefully you found these to be as inspiring as I did. So, if we think of mantra as something that is often repeated and expresses a particular strong belief or action, then we can be assured these up and coming leaders will be walking the walk. What’s your leadership mantra?
Byron, you inspire us with your enthusiasm! Loved every minute.

Even though my picture did not make the cut, lol it was another great leadership training. Byron you truly have a way with your words and can help any future leader think through all the possibilities that may arise from any situation. Thanks for another great book too, it is a great read!

Byron,
Thanks for all of your leadership training. I even appreciate that you don’t always make introverts like me speak. I may not have always said it but I did enjoy our meetings and look forward to part 2!
