C8 - THE LAW OF INTUITION
Leaders Evaluate Everything with a Leadership Bias
This is probably the most difficult law to understand.
It depends on more than just the facts.
It's based on facts plus instincts and other intangibles.
Leadership intuition is often the factor that separates the greatest leaders from the merely good ones.
Great leaders see things others can't, make changes, and move forward before others know what's happening.
A leader has to read the situation and know instinctively what play to call.
IT'S INFORMED INTUITION
Leadership Nuggets from how quarterbacks are taught to think
In the offensive war room, there are chalkboards covering each wall.
On these chalkboards the coaches map out a specific play designed to succeed based on their years of experience and their intuitive knowledge of the game.
Together those plays constitute the approach and bias they take into the game in order to win it.
The quarterback has to memorize every one of those plays.
The night before the game the coaches fire one situation after another at the quarterbacks requiring them to tell which play was the right one to be called.
Afterwards the offensive coordinator heads for a cot in the war room where he spends the night memorizing all the plays.
Although he carries a sheet of paper with all of the plays onto the field with him, he knows he can't rely on it because there isn't time.
By the time the ball carrier's knee touches the ground, he has to know what play to call next.
There's no time to fumble around deciding what to do.
He has to put the coaching staff's intuition into action in an instant.
LEADERSHIP IS THEIR BIAS
The kind of informed intuition that coaches and quarterbacks have on game day is similar to what leaders exhibit.
Leaders see everything with a Leadership bias, and as a result, they instinctively, almost automatically, know what to do.
You can see this read and react instinct in all great leaders.
Example - US Army General H. Norman Schwarzkopf.
He was able to repeatedly turn bad situations around as the result of his exceptional leadership intuition.
People need a goal to galvanize them.
HOW LEADERS THINK
Because of their intuition, leaders evaluate everything with a Leadership Bias.
Some are born with great leadership intuition.
Others have to work hard to develop and harness it.
However it evolves, the result is a combination of natural ability and learned skills.
This informed intuition causes leadership issues to jump out.
Best way to describe this bias is the ability to get a handle on intangible factors, understand them, and work with them to accomplish leadership goals.
Intuition helps leaders become readers of the numerous intangibles of leadership.
LEADERS ARE READERS OF THEIR SITUATION
In all kinds of circumstances, they capture details that elude others.
Natural ability and learned skills create an informed intuition that makes leadership issues jump out at leaders.
LEADERS ARE READERS OF TRENDS
Everything that happens around us does so in the context of a bigger picture.
Leaders have the ability to step back from what's happening at the moment and see not only where they and their people have gone, but also where they are headed in the future.
It's as if they can smell change in the wind.
LEADERS ARE READERS OF THEIR RESOURCES
A major difference between achievers and leaders is the way they see resources.
Successful individuals think in terms of what they can do.
Successful leaders, on the other hand, see every situation in terms of available resources:
Money
Raw Materials
Technology
Most important - People
They never forget that people are their greatest asset.
LEADERS ARE READERS OF PEOPLE
President Lyndon Johnson once said,
When you walk into a room and you can't tell whose for you and whose against you, you don't belong in politics.
This also applies to leadership.
Intuitive leaders can sense what's happening among people and almost instantly know their hopes, fears, and concerns.
LEADERS ARE READERS OF THEMSELVES
Good leaders develop the ability to read themselves, their strengths, skills, weaknesses, and current state of mind.
They recognize the truth of what James Russell Lovell said,
No one can produce great things who is not thoroughly sincere in dealing with himself.
WHAT YOU SEE RESULTS FROM WHO YOU ARE
Who you are dictates what you see.
THREE LEVELS OF LEADERSHIP INTUITION
THOSE WHO NATURALLY SEE IT
Some people are born with exceptional leadership gifts.
They instinctively understand people and know how to move them from point A to point B.
Even when they are kids they act as leaders.
Watch them on the playground and you can see everyone is following them.
People with natural leadership intuition can build upon it and become world class leaders of the highest caliber.
THOSE WHO ARE NURTURED TO SEE IT
Not everyone starts off with great instincts, but whatever abilities people have can be nurtured and developed.
The ability to think like a leader is informed intuition.
Even someone who doesn't start off as a natural leader can become an excellent one.
People who don't develop their intuition are condemned to be blindsided in their leadership for the rest of their lives.
THOSE WHO WILL NEVER SEE IT
Everyone is capable of developing leadership skills and intuition.
There are those who don't have the skills and aren't interested in developing the skills.
They will never be anything but followers.
LEADERS SOLVE PROBLEMS USING THE LAW OF INTUITION
Wherever leaders find themselves facing problems, they automatically measure it - and begin solving it - using the Law of Intuition.
They evaluate everything with a leadership bias.
Improvement is impossible without a change in leadership.
Leadership is more art than science.
The principles of leadership are constant, but the application changes with every leader and every situation.
This is why it requires intuition.
You can get blindsided without it.
If you want to lead long, you've got to obey The Law of Intuition.
