Do you know anyone that different when they are in the office and when they are with their family but still a great leader?
Have you ever see your leader showing a different character in meeting rooms and in the office floor?

Have you ever see your leader showing a different character in meeting rooms and in the office floor?
Well, it is a yes for me. I have seen various leaders are really good at the first meeting but then look like a totally different person the moment he steps into the other meeting room. And if you though the leader is a “she” you can guess it wrong because he is a man. tall dark and good looking man.
If you are doing marketing or sales, do you notice the same person giving different respond for every cycle of the moment you meet them? Have you thought they have two characters all together in the same body?
Well, actually it is not that we have different characters in our body. normally we have different persona embedded in our body trigger by environment and motivation. As much as we love or hate at our self, the environment will always be impacting our personalities. It is a power that cannot be fought by ourselves alone. That’s why environmental change can only be considered successful if it is done by majority. We cannot ask a fish to climb trees while a monkey to swim deep. We still can teach a monkey (although success rate is low) to learn swimming but with a limit to its capabilities.
The second thing that impacts personas is actually our motivation. What motivate us or what triggers us to change. Its either we are going away from a distance pain, or we are going into the pleasure ahead of us. It can be a daily thing or hourly thing for us to keep on changing our persona.
We will notice that some leaders are really in love and soft with their spouse but really mean like a tiger in an office environment. Look back what is the environment they are in? What is their motivation at that moment? Once you can observe it, then you can tackle the issue at hand and handle the leaders and also you subordinate.
That is normally how I inspire people from great to be legendary!
