Mastery makes Leaders

I'm doing a "100 Articles in 100 Days" challenge, with approximately sixty five articles left. "Why 100 days? Why not just 30 days like all the other challenges," I hear you ask. Let me explain:

 First, leaders forge mastery, then, Mastery creates leaders.

 The unique leadership model, the U49, guides potential leaders through a growth program, aimed at fostering focus, momentum and mastery, establishing reliability and reputation along the way. All of these elements need time and effort to grow ... enter the 100 Challenge. 

 The strength of the 100 Challenge is in the incredible personal growth and understanding the leader gains as they establish momentum in their core skill. It takes a minimum of forty days exercising a skill for it to become grounded. In other words, in the first forty days, you just start to understand the subtly of the tasks you do.

 The next sixty days of the Challenge takes the growing leader beyond mere understanding, past success and into significance. It allows the leader to develop an excellence the top sportsmen call "the zone." I call it - mastery. By the end of the 100 Challenge you will function at the level of expert in your field.

 Its only beyond sixty days that people start to notice the potential leaders consistency, and recognise his or her authentic growth. At this point, Reliability and reputation start to evolve. Failing now would be fatal to the leaders credibility.

 The most incredible miracle of the 100 Challenge happens as momentum increases. When guiding colleagues to do their own 100 Challenge, they always want to know from me what they can expect as a result. The magic of mixing momentum and master makes any preduction impossible. All I can say is - expect it to be pressed down, shaken together, until your results overflow.

 Leadership is more than just trying something for thirty days. Leadership is about standing in your field as a subject matter expert. That takes dedication, focus, deliberate growth and a little magic. The 100 Challenge offers these and more. Please feel free to contact me about doing your own 100 Challenge.
