Chris Walker - INNERWEALTH at WORK - GOOD SELF-LEADERSHIP

What is Good Self-Leadership?

It’s easier to answer that question by illustrating the affect of poor self leadership.

Poor self-leadership is what caused my marriage to fail when my business was succeeding, my health to collapse when my marriage was at its best, my leadership of others to lose integrity when I was having fun and what caused me to live 20 years of my life fighting against my own soul.

Now, as a personal and corporate change agent I see poor self-leadership as what causes: stress, depression, anger, poor commitment, low moral, conflict, break downs in communication and personal imbalance.

However, it’s in the life of the entrepreneurial individual where poor self leadership really has the most devastating impact: lost balance, family breakdown, youth rebellion, health problems and of course business management failure.

SURVIVING SUCCESS

Extract from my new book, The Nature of Love. Are you boring? Are you really someone to love? I mean how do you feel about yourself? Are you healthy, trim, enjoying a balanced life? Or are you compromised in this area?

Are you walking in the door like a wounded soldier, limping emotionally burnt out from a “hard day at the office?” Give me a break. Hard day at the office, what did you do, run a marathon?

The hardest work most people have to do these days is to deal with an colleague or a boss they don’t like. Shivers, it can’t be all that hard. And to walk in the door with that as an excuse for not showing up in your relationship, you really don’t want to be in it. Lets get real.

Loving Kindness - Give joy and happiness to others.

To sustain balance is no easy task and to have a hospital bed, a divorce, war or career breakdown as the only reminder of the dangers of egocentric living is too harsh a way. And so, it seems that there is a need for a middle ground.

Your Constitution - How your constitution affects Your Self-Leadership

 When I went through my Junior School, teachers told me, “Chris, you can do anything you set your mind to.” I wish they’d added, “but not all of it will make you money, make you happy, keep you healthy, be enjoyable, or be sustainable.” Because that would have been the truth.

Question: What advice do you give business leaders?

Answer: The short answer is: be holistic. Holistic in this case means to value all 7 areas of life equally and be aware of loading one area more than the rest.

THE PATH - Breathe Deep - (extract unedited)

Of all the issues of workplace ill-health, 90% of them can be traced back to poor breathing practices. We sit badly so our lungs starve, hence, we lower our blood oxygen content, which in turn starves the brain, and bingo, we get tired, de-motivated or sick. A corporation keen to build the vitality of its workforce would

Choices -

My clients are often faced with very difficult choices as leaders and partners. As a leader, what do we do with people who need employment for their survival and yet, refuse to evolve? What do we do with people who are obsessed with the past, and who’ve made it their life mission to resist change of any description?
