Becoming Great In Your Field

by Shanti Clements

 

Over the past 20 years, there's been an amazing amount of research done in the Corporate and Personal Development fields linking Happiness psychology with business success. Scientists and researchers such as Martin Seligman, Mihaly Csikzentmihalyi and Daniel Goleman have consistently proven the link between Happiness psychology and EQ in creating resilience and long-term success.

A passion for learning ... in other words, an inquiring mind and an interest in ongoing personal growth will help to inspire leadership effectivness and growth in this area. A committment to developing skills (which requires hours of dedication) in your field and setting up a personal goal for excellence is essential to achieving greatness in any given field.

In Joseph Law's book, Living Greatness, Siimon Reynolds gives his tips on creating High Achievement in a challenging business world. He writes:

It's simple to become outstanding in your field, but it's certainly not easy.

Firstly, do something you enjoy. That way long hours won't bother you. The truth is that even if you work really hard in a field, if you're not really into it your results will never be superlative.

Next, dedicate yourself to continuous study in your area. Almost nobody does this. So many people stop studying their field the moment they graduate from their first course in it.

Third, find role models - people who have achieved excellence in your field - and copy what they do. Better yet, ask them to mentor you. You can  literally cut 20 years off your career learning curve if you follow the right role model.

Finally, maintain a philosphy of excellence every day by holding yourself to a world class standard. By simply dedicating yourself to always doing the best you can every day, you will soon shine  far brighter than your competitors.

Circumference has created the Corporate Soiree leadership evenings to help you develop your leadership mastery and 'mastermind' the strategies you can use to achieve greatness in your field. Corporate Soiree are tri-monthly leadership network sessions where you have the opportunity to listen to and learn from successful leaders.

Our first Corporate Soiree evening will be launched by Walter Bellin on November 30th.
