Cerca de Ti Senor/Sa Piling mo Ama/Nearer my God

4th Sunday of LENT/LAETARE SUNDAY

Sumagot ang ama, ‘Anak, lagi kitang kapiling. Ang lahat ng ari-arian ko’y sa iyo. Ngunit dapat tayong magsaya at magalak, sapagkat namatay na ang kapatid mo, ngunit muling nabuhay; nawala, ngunit nasumpungan.’”
- Gospel of the Day (GOD)

Here are 7 lessons on "The Dichotomy of Leadership" by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin:

1. Embrace the Binary Nature of Leadership
Leadership is not about being perfect or always having the right answers. It is about making tough decisions, taking calculated risks, and accepting responsibility for the outcome. Effective leaders embrace the duality of leadership, recognizing that it requires both strength and vulnerability, both action and reflection.

2. Challenge the Status Quo
Great leaders are not afraid to question the status quo and challenge conventional thinking. They are constantly seeking new ways to improve, innovate, and adapt to changing circumstances. They are not afraid to disrupt the comfort zone and push boundaries.

3. Communicate with Clarity and Conviction
Effective communication is essential for leadership. Leaders must be able to articulate their vision, inspire others to action, and provide clear direction. They must be able to communicate with honesty, integrity, and conviction, even when the message is difficult or unpopular.

4. Build a Strong Team and Delegate Effectively
No leader can achieve success alone. Strong leaders build cohesive teams, empowering individuals to contribute their unique skills and talents. They delegate effectively, trusting their team members to execute tasks and make decisions within their areas of expertise.

5. Lead by Example
Leaders set the tone for an organization. Their actions and behavior have a profound impact on the people they lead. They must embody the values and principles they expect from their team, demonstrating integrity, work ethic, and commitment to excellence.

6. Embrace Discipline and Accountability
Discipline is the cornerstone of effective leadership. Leaders must hold themselves and their team members accountable for their actions and commitments. They must establish clear expectations, follow through with consequences, and foster a culture of continuous improvement.

7. Never Stop Learning and Growing
The world is constantly changing, and so must leaders. Effective leaders are lifelong learners, constantly seeking out new knowledge, skills, and perspectives. They are open to feedback, embrace challenges as learning opportunities, and strive to become better leaders every day.
