Today I’ll share one word to show up as a better leader? The word is crisp. We need to be crisp, on point, sharp. What does crisp stand for? C-R-I-S-P. C, confidence. As a leader, we must exude confidence. Confidence is an energy that people pick up on. You as an empowering leader transfer that energy of confidence to others. Nice little quote, “Treat your employees like they make a difference and they will.” Have confidence in yourself, have confidence in them, and that energy will start spreading throughout the entire organization.
R, resolve. As leaders, we must have resolve. As human beings, we must have resolve because not everything goes as planned. Murphy’s Law pops up and adversity hits. When our plan is altered because of a roadblock, we need to have the resolve to follow the plan, to pursue the outcome, to reach the goal.
I, integrity. As a leader, we must have integrity. “Your actions speak so loud, we can’t hear a word you’re saying.” Be a leader of integrity by the actions you display. Do what you say, when you say, how you say, and people will feel and see that energy of integrity that you are a man or woman of your word.
S, systems. To have a scalable company, we must have systems. Systems stand for, saving yourself stress, time, energy, and money. If there is a big decision to be made, ask yourself. Is it saving us stress, time, energy, money, or is it costing us stress, time, energy, and money? Answer that question, and you’ll know exactly the next step.
And the last P, being precise. Being articulate, being accurate with your communication. So as a leader, when you’re crisp, you’re confident, you have resolve, you have integrity, you have created the systems, and you are precise. You’re on point, you’re showing up the way you need to be. Transfer that energy to everybody else on your team and your company will go places.
