Stop avoiding conflict and start advocating for yourself

Important changes in mindset are required to once and for all push past the issues that are holding you—or your company—back.

Being an Artists and Enrepreneur

Artists do study art history to see what others have created, how and why. What inspired them, and who paid for the work. And to determine why something is considered a great work of art.

Some artists have natural talent to draw very beautiful and creative things. Some, are still refining their craft. Some are looking to imitate the great masters and wish to better understand their techniques.

The disruptors find innovative ways to create the same works of art using minimalistic tools.

Which brings us to the business men who follow the disruptors and work to take their works farther. Scale their inventions, patent them, and promote them to people to whom they will most benefit from.

These business men do study the market, constantly asking .. What do you need? ..

Every business man knows that if they can match a need to an innovative solution and scale their business, they will reap the rewards.

Many people will tell you that these business men are taking a huge risk bringing a new product to market, but that is not true. They are well aware of the current markets needs and how to connect the various dots to reach the rewards.

So, when someone tells you that we dont need art classes in school, because it doesnt teach usable skills, remind them that some usable skills are about finding unique, creative and innovative ways to solve new and old problems.

Using the Definition of Leasership

The def of leadership is ... guiding intent w integrity ...

Thus, you can choose different values for guidance, intent and integrity, when describing different types of leaders and leadership styles.

Guidance swings between to transparency to deception. Intent swings between altruistic to xenophobia. And, integrity is based on the social contract w communitys expectations on social norms. Thus, how does a leader uses his guidence to influence the interests and intentions of community.

This allows us to begin describing a leader using the characteristics we see in leadership. The ability to be a successful charismatic story teller w a deep voice. Aka Morgan Freeman.

In contrast, we can describe Palpateen as being deceptive, using misdirection, and creating artificial stressors in order to move community support in a specific direction.

Btw .. these are only 2 of the types of leaders that can be describe by this definition. There are at least 16 .. but I choose to focus on great, positive, good, general, bad, negative and dark leaders.
