EXCEPTIONAL LEADERS...
Listen to Their Gut

Values Beliefs Traits Emotions Learning to listen to your gut or intuition is not a skill that's taught in business schools or in the office. However, most seasoned managers put it to use in some way.

Exceptional Leaders know that checking with their gut before they make a decision is useful, despite all the logic that says go or no go.

Often we think of intuition as a random ‘sense’ or an idea that came ‘out of the blue.’ Intuition is, in fact, the result of the brain efficiently processing information, patterns and ideas.

By developing your intuition, you can learn from experience and confidently make quick decisions, thus improving the overall effectiveness of your leadership.

  • Are you tuned in to your body? Do you pay attention to those nagging little feelings?
  • Is there a connection between your thoughts and your body? Do you ever ignore your body when it is trying to tell you something?
  • Have you ever said “I knew that!”? Did you honor the ‘knowing’ when it arose?
  • What is the advantage of listening to and acting on your gut knowing or intuitions?
  • If you had listened to your gut or your intuitions, what would be different today?
 

Exceptional Leaders know that living without accessing and utilizing their intuition or gut is like only using half of a deck of cards and thinking you can win at the game. Using all of your natural resources is simply good business.
