Tus acciones lo reflejan. Tu actitud lo manifiesta. Y es mucho más de lo que dices. Es tu voz de líder y así es como creas un impacto duradero.

Tu voz de líder es cómo inspiras grandeza y refuerzas soluciones. Tu voz es voz de cambio, y el cambio crea nuevas posibilidades. Puedes fortalecer un sueño débil o lanzar un rayo de esperanza. Sólo eso puede servir como el punto de cambio, reformando el carácter de otros o redirigiéndoles hacia nuevos horizontes.

¿Qué es Chick-fil-A Leadercast?

LEADERCAST COSTA RICA: Leadership Shorts: John Wooden

Leadership Shorts: John Wooden

Ability is a poor man’s wealth.

Make everyday your masterpiece.

You can’t live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.

Don’t measure yourself by what you have accomplished but by what you should have accomplished with your ability.

Success comes from knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.

The worst thing about new books is that they keep us from reading the old ones.

Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.

Don’t let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

You can’t let praise or criticism get to you. It’s a weakness to get caught up in either one.

Muhtar Kent, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of The Coca-Cola Company

It’s what you learn after you know it all that counts.

If you’re not making mistakes then you’re not doing anything. I’m positive that a doer makes mistakes.

Dave Ramsey, Personal money-management expert, national radio personality, and best-selling author of The Total Money Makeover

Winning takes talent; to repeat takes character.

Leaders Cannot Afford to Neglect Planning By John C. Maxwell

"Good planning always costs less than good reacting."
~ Wayne Schmidt

In October 2010 the most expensive public works project in America, ARC, officially met its demise. The project would have constructed two tunnels beneath the Hudson River to add much-needed railways between New Jersey and Manhattan. However, poor planning led to wasteful spending and put the project on pace to exceed its budget by at least $1 billion.

A federal audit of the project brought to light an embarrassing lack of planning. The audit charged NJ Transit with failing to draw up plans to combat fraud and waste in its financial practices. The same audit chastised the FTA for authorizing NJ Transit to spend $1.35 billion without having seen a project management plan, master schedule, or financial plan from the agency. On account of ARC's runaway costs and inadequate strategic plans, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie decided to cancel the project.

The Appeal of Planning Ahead

As a leader, you may be tempted to initiate action without taking the time to map out plans. After all, it feels unproductive to think about how to do something when you could simply roll up your sleeves and start making things happen. However, it's far less of an investment to prepare for a project in advance than to repair a project after it has gone awry.

In leadership, all is well that begins well. Leaders who carefully craft strategies enjoy success, while those who haphazardly race forward experience heartache.
Strategy functions as a leader's blueprint, playbook, or script. It aligns action and focuses energy toward a goal, preventing costly delays and wasted resources. By following a coherent strategy, leaders arrive at a predetermined destination instead of wandering in an uncertain direction.

These nine simple steps outline the leadership planning process. I trust they will be beneficial to you as you make plans for a successful 2011.

Predetermine Your Course of Action
Lay Out Your Goals
Adjust Your Priorities
Notify Key Personnel

Allow Time for Acceptance
Head into Action
Expect Problems
Always Point to Your Successes
Daily Review Your Progress

Leadercast Costa Rica SERIE VISION: Vision From Start To Finish By John C. Maxwell

How did James Cameron direct a movie as incredible as Titanic or Avatar? How is Alicia Keys able to write world-class music in an era when few elite performers pen their own lyrics? How does Pixar keep churning out animated blockbusters?

The answers all involve vision. The best leaders are able to see a vision and then activate it by stepping forward. In addition, they're willing to sacrifice to see the vision come to fruition. Finally, they realize the importance of surrounding themselves and their vision with an incredible team.

See the Vision

Many people don't jumpstart their lives because they don't have anything to jump to! They plod along through life with little more than survival in mind. Visionaries dare to dream. They peer into the future and generate possibilities in their mind's eye.

The legendary sculptor, Michelangelo claimed that as he looked into the stone, "I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free." His imagination had already created his masterpieces before his hands did the work.

Step Toward the Vision

Some people see the vision, but they never step toward it. They cannot seem to summon the courage to overcome their fear, or they cannot find the passion to get past their apathy. As a consequence, their vision sits on the shelf until it spoils, or until someone else takes initiative to claim it.

More than two months before Alexander Graham Bell submitted his patent for the telegraph, Elisha Gray had already arrived at the conclusion that voice could be transmitted over a telegraph wire. Why, then, is Elisha Gray anonymous and Alexander Graham a celebrated inventor? Because Gray procrastinated two months before putting his vision on paper. Then, when he finally finished his sketch, Gray delayed another four days before taking it to the patent office. When he finally made up his mind to go, he arrived two hours too late. Bell had already secured the patent, and Gray's idea was worthless.

Sacrifice for the Vision

Visionaries give up to go up. They bypass good to gain at shot at being great. If they fail, at least they go out swinging. Visionaries don't fear failure; they only fear losing out on opportunity.

In an effort to break into the U.S. market, Cirque Du Soleil founder, Guy Laliberte, took his entire troupe from Montreal to Los Angeles. At the time, Cirque was a budding act that was barely breaking even. As legend has it, the circus did not even have gas money to return home if the show flopped. Laliberte had leveraged every resource at his disposal for the opportunity to achieve his vision of striking it rich in the United States. Thankfully for everyone involved, the show was a smash hit. Cirque Du Soleil's success catapulted it forward in terms of recognition on the entertainment scene.

Seek Help for the Vision

Teamwork makes the dream work. If you can achieve your vision by flying solo, then chances are you're not doing anything worthwhile. A big dream requires a talented team in order to take root in reality.

Wilt Chamberlain was one of the most gifted athletes to ever set foot on a basketball court. He holds the NBA record for most points in a game (100), most rebounds in a game (55), and the highest scoring average for a season (50.4 points per game). However, Wilt was so talented that he had trouble meshing with his teammates. At one point, coaches even advised him to shoot less so that other players could be involved.

Despite his prodigious abilities, Wilt never won a championship while the star player of his team. However, he did eventually learn to become an unselfish player. As his point totals declined, he became better and better at setting up teammates to score. Well past the prime of his career, Wilt finally won achieved his vision of winning a title. As a role player for the Los Angeles Lakers, he captured two NBA championships. His growth as a teammate made him an invaluable asset even though his athleticism had diminished from its peak.

Dan T. Cathy on Customer Service de Chick-fil-A Leadercast- Costa Rica

I have been the President and Chief Operating Officer at Chick-fil-A since 2001, but my real job is Customer Service. Regardless of titles and specific job responsibilities, I think all of us at Chick-fil-A are in customer service.

Dan Cathy, President & COO of Chick-fil-A, Inc.

At its core, the word "service" means an act of helpful activity. I would take the definition a bit further to say that service means treating others with honor, dignity and respect and doing everything you can to ensure you are impacting the lives of people in positive ways.

Service is helping. Service is smiling. Service is a handshake. Service is the Golden Rule. Service is not just something we do, it's something we live. Service is encouragement.

My father once said, "the best way to tell if someone needs encouragement is to first check to make sure they are breathing." Truth is, we all need to be lifted up and made to feel special. That's why service is so important at Chick-fil-A.

From helping mothers with children to their tables at our restaurants, to a very simple, but meaningful "my pleasure" from our employees; you never know how you might be able to encourage and bring happiness to others by serving them well.

Several years ago, we introduced "Second Mile Service" to our employees. Going the second mile comes from the book of Matthew in the Bible. Jesus says, "If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles" (Matthew 5:41). In business, as it is in life, there are certain expectations that people have: be nice, work hard, be ethical, say "please" and "thank you." 

Be part of it!

Those are things we should all do because it's "just right." It's the ante. It's expected. It's obligatory and most times a compulsion that takes very little effort. It's the first mile.

The second mile "ups the ante." It's the above and beyond. It's helping mothers with children to their tables, having real pepper grinders at our restaurants, opening doors for customers and refilling drinks. It's an authentic smile, and it is absolutely "my pleasure."

The second mile is a display of love, dedication and loyalty, and at Chick-fil-A, we're trying to make Second Mile Second Nature.

How can you go the Second Mile today?
