Three Minute Leadership: The Five Keys to Leadership
To: The Great Leaders Who Have a Value for Continuous Learning
In a recent blog, Five Keys to Happiness, Jeff Weiner, CEO, LinkedIn, writes about his mentor and friend, Ray Chambers, and shares Chambers’ five keys “in achieving happiness.” Weiner writes:
I’ve learned a lot from Ray through the years, but the advice I find myself coming back to most often is his five keys to achieving happiness. While some of the suggestions are more challenging to live by then others (just try being loving vs. being right the next time you find yourself in an argument), all are worth aspiring to on a daily basis. Hope you find his advice as invaluable as I have:
1. Live in the moment
2. It’s better to be loving than to be right
3. Be a spectator to your own thoughts, especially when you become emotional
4. Be grateful for at least one thing every day
5. Help others every chance you get
What incredible passion for each of moment of life! What caring, selfless and humble servant leadership! What a beautiful and sublime sense of gratitude for all that life, people and God gives to great leaders. May Mr. Chambers’ magnificent keys open your life to its infinite possibilities.. to be more than you ever dreamed you could be… and more… so much more.
Have a beautiful day and a magnificent week!!!
