How can you create fear in the ecosystem?

You are a leader and you have seen such a leader in your career so you want to be like them!

The below rule will work …..

• Ensure people should not speak of their minds. If someone is expressing their mind, call them in a room and caution them not to express whatever they think, check with you, before they express anything in public.
• If anyone makes any mistake or disobey the team law, punish them in public.

From Reactive to Creative Mindset

I Wish to Move myself FROM REACTIVE TO CREATIVE mindset

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.

Anais Nin

I choose to build up a creative mindset and help others to achieve the same.

What do I do and how can I shun a reactive mindset? I am sure all of wish to do the same.

That is the thought running in my mind for a long time.

We negotiate with our challenges and demands in a way that just passes them move elsewhere, instead of addressing them creatively to understand how they can serve us most.

We seek short-term targets or result instead of realizing the long term. We consider for immediate gain and pain removal techniques.

We expect we will see in the future if it does not come out. Most of us choose to show the result for now. Live for now and avoid pain.

For a creative mindset to stimulate, we require to understand the long term and reach deeper.

Reactive mindset and creative mindset individuals experience life separately.

Reactive mindset leaders consistently have a thought of being in a power struggle to control outside forces that offer an uncertain possibly dangerous future.

Reactive mindset people concentrate on gaining the approval of others, defending oneself, and obtaining results through excessive control tactics.

Reactive behaviors inhibit or impede change, undermine collective efficacy, and sub-optimize performance.

Reactive Leaders and Individuals are usually

• More anxious with how they are performing than with what they are accomplishing; 
• Do actions by custom, rather than making the right things; 
• Over-control and micromanage; 
• Avert conflict by not focusing on actual issues;
• Fail to lead by constantly raising ideas for change to higher authority to gain approval to move forwards; 
• Expect top management to have all the says, to present the charismatic vision and to establish the dilemmas; 
• Blame others for obstacles and claim no share of complicity themselves; 
• Wait for the culture to change.Some one will change it.
• Think that vision and direction must develop first from above, and that the job of those below is to accept it—rather than to co-create the future, and suggest what they’re expected to say in meetings and have the legitimate discussions later. 

When we take up the Reactive mindset, we pursue truths that previously exist and establish beliefs that we already have.

The Reactive mindset leaders chokes on uncertainties, discrepancies, dialectical interchanges, and emergent opportunities—all factors that feed and sustain the Creative mind-set individuals.

Reactive mindset individuals search for, predictions, expectations, estimates, plans, and measures.

Creative Mindset people, on the other hand, are dynamic enough to associate with outside forces in shaping a future worth living.

When we are in the Reactive mindset, we form hasty decisions, act rapidly, get into an autopilot mode, and rupture into development with stubborn.The determined effort aimed at reaching exactly fixed goals.

A creative mindset makes us a Creator. An aspect of reality—the chaos, the speed, the barriers, the mistakes, the bonuses—turns into supply for our creativity.

Creative Leaders use the flexibility required to shift obstacles into checkpoints, trigger optimism that can stimulate to apply mistakes to develop extraordinary fresh opportunities and work out the passion to cut through chaotic conditions so that they can choose where to establish their attention.

When we are in the Creative mindset, we explore out ways to collaborate and cooperate with others.

A creative mindset is always legitimate, it drives us to form rejuvenating relationships with others who recognize our higher purpose.

When we are in a Reactive mindset, we plunge on these opportunities and choose the most efficient answer.

When we are in the Creative mind-set, we excavate the power inherent in the decision and use it to construct the outcomes we choose. This power is what generates life inspiring and valuable. A perfect life waiting for us to discover.
