We have only one life, but we live in three worlds overlap - our corporate world, our familiar world, and our other social world. Imagine bringing your spouse and children in a meeting with seven of its staff of Sale. Sitting on the left, Miss Wright asks the question on the minds of other colleagues sale everybody, "Why bring your family to our meeting today? Will play a role in our discussion?" You simply replied: "No, they are there just so you can have their needs."
Of course, this is a highly unlikely scenario. You do not bring your family to work with you every day. However, there is Heather Howitt. Howitt, CEO of Oregon Chai in Portland, Oregon, balance motherhood with the responsibility of leading manufacturer of eleven million tea lattes. "Our office is a very casual place. We have a family member that is happening here. "
Live under the rain soaked the city of Portland, 32 years, often at his office Howitt slightly splashed with mud. Often spends her lunch break holding her one year old son, Sawyer, in a nearby park, or your nanny who takes him home. Other days, she just puts in his bed in his office.
With the growth of his company, Howitt hired certain key executives, including Chief Operating Officer to manage the operations and finances. It also called on delegates sales she used to make. "I used to come at 6am and make calls without stopping," he said. "I do not have to." Howitt was placed in a way so that it is overloaded or too personally challenged by your daily responsibilities at the company. She balances her professional and private life. It not only recognized its strategic contribution to the success of Oregon Chai, but also appreciate their unique role in the life of his young son.1
As an entrepreneur or a business executive must give the best of both worlds. The needs of your business and the needs of your family and friends competing for your time and attention. And both expect the best from you. Heather Howitt has found a way to do so; you may have otherwise.
To enjoy both the benefits of business success and respect of the family, must work constantly to maintain balance. To successfully meet the challenges of a rapidly growing company that needs all the personal resources that come from a balanced life. "How to develop a balanced business personality?"
Some business leaders suffer from a dangerous imbalance. Other achieve excellence at the top to maintain the optimal balance. "Early in my career, I used to think that entrepreneurship is more art than science, it is a gift or something," said Cherrill Farnsworth. "I do not think so." 2 business leaders is not an automatic function of personality or artistic talent people are simply born with others and will be missed. instead, business efficiency with a balanced life is a process dynamics that must constantly work. If you do not support the development and promotion of entrepreneurial personality, you could die. then only a radical action that could boost entrepreneurship.
This is exactly what happened to Sam T. Goodner. 77th Its software company based in Austin Catapult Systems Corp., ranked among the fastest growing companies in the United States, while Goodner served as CEO and founder. At 33, Goodner decided to resign as CEO of the catapult to take on the new challenge of serving as CEO of Inquisite Inc., a subsidiary of the catapult selling software on the Internet. Goodner but quickly found their new digs are "stronger, more spartan" before. "Half of it is actually underground," he said, describing his much less attractive new office space.
Goodner but does not complain. After all, it was his idea to leave the comfortable position of CEO of the catapult with a workforce of 115 employees, directing Inquisite Inc., with only 20 employees. But now, something was wrong. To be sure, there were many challenges. The phone rang the load, the role has been filled "in" box, e-mails and came regularly to employees, suppliers and customers. Every day and every hour, urgent decisions should be made, insofar as anyone in his place would have been overwhelmed by the "tyranny of the urgent."
But increasingly, he felt like he was just responding to requests and not take a more proactive role visionary. And too often, long hours of work would they prefer to move into your home and personal life. Worse, he realized that even if I could meet an advantage in your personal world, could not catch what he lacked in his business.
"I had nothing left in my entrepreneurial creativity," reflected Goodner. "I fell behind in what was easy. You know what happens when you start going through your e-mail every day." Recognizing that his old entrepreneurial spirit was gone, he resigned and hired a new CEO to lead the company.
Maybe Goodner had already achieved financial independence and had other worthy goals to pursue in life. In this case, give up his position as CEO might be the best decision. But it could be another way of getting their entrepreneurship with a healthy balance of attention at work, family and friends? 3
Business performance can vary from low, "You are personally worked more and more challenged" -. "Action plans are implemented regularly to improve all aspects of your life" the most desirable level
The lowest performance level of your business at risk. Management is personally worked increasingly questioned. The incessant pressing problems your business seem to require much of your time that you spend working earlier and leave later and later into the night. You are like a tire out of control, you ride a steep hill, spinning faster and faster each time until it finally runs out of control and crashes.
Or, you might think it is this way: The underlying basis of their life at work and the house is built on sand instead of rock solid. Even the slightest storm immerse you in a danger zone, damaging their relationships with their partners and their families and friends.
You just have to survive, but you are in danger, like a stick of dynamite was lit; you do not have much time before things will explode in your company or in your family life, or both. You should get as soon as possible. But how? You can not help but think: "There must be a better way." And you're right! There is.
An ancient Hebrew text warns "In vain you get up early and stay up late, working for food to eat - for he [the Lord God] grants sleep to those he loves." 4 God, creator of our reality, we have designed and the world a better set of options.
"Over the past three years, I was able to identify what things little by little I can give to my CPA, or my book, or my office manager. Read about people who work 60 or 90 hours per week and earn multi-million dollar corporations to the detriment of your health and your family. Such are the examples of success in my book. success is to have a multi-million other things "says the 40-year old Tom Melaragno, founder of the $ 7.6 million consulting tablet, an IT consulting and staffing firm founded in 1992. well developed 12-hour days when he started the company, currently only works 8 or 9:00 and ensures that there is little to see his son two baseball games in the summer league and coach of the football team oldest fall.5
Taking the lead is to take control of your life invest wisely. Scott Tinley is an amazing triathlete who has participated in more than 350 triathlons, including 19 Ironman triathlons in Hawaii. The triathlon is an endurance sport that involves swimming, cycling and running. Surprisingly, Tinley won nearly 100 races. "This sport is a combination of personal challenge, camaraderie and the achievement of self-knowledge," says Tinley.
Tinley is more than just an athlete; it is also a successful entrepreneur. He co-founded a company that manufactures sportswear - Tinley Performance Wear. He and his business partners built more than 8 years, reaching about $ 10 million in sales. In 1992, they sold the company to Reebok. But more than just being a triathlete and a rich businessman, Tinley is also appreciated as a writer, traveler, father and husband. As productive as it is in many areas of life, which has not lost sight of the balance you need.
Tinley explains the work-life balance that keeps in his 20-year career as an athlete, husband, father and businessman. "Many people have this image of itself, which means that you have to drive back and force you to do things without someone looking over your shoulder is actually the opposite: you have to force yourself to have a balance in your life and be successful in everything you do "6.
He recognized the importance of what he calls a "delicate balance between preparation, competence, professionalism, support systems, and the world of family, friends, and pay the rent." It n has not lost sight of the fact that one of the best things in life are family, friends, and quiet operation in the park.
This is the kind of balance that John Chambers, CEO of Cisco Systems also conducted. An interviewer asked him: "What would have achieved and what follows after Cisco?"
"The most important thing for me is my family, and that does not change. My wife of 25 years is a perfect balance for me. When I get from time to time I do, it brings me to the snack and rarely, if I'm a little too sure of me back to earth too. "
"I have two children, I am very proud and they are my life. So my family is the first, second and third in terms of my priorities And when I'm at home, my wife reminds me when I walk in the door, I'm not the CEO. well at home, I'm like any other person. Taking the trash, changing light bulbs, and so on. "
"And what will I do after that? 'Ll Show when I retire. Believe that giving back to the community what to do. Would terrible to be perhaps the company most successful history and not give back. Way I I will not go to work for another company after Cisco. Cisco When I retire, I'm done with the business world and probably go teach. youth are fun interact with .... How do you teach and how to teach ethics integrity before? for this would be great! "7
Rooms shows how a balance between the performance of the executive and other dimensions of life can contribute to both personal development and business success. Awareness of the need for balance has led many leaders to take critical decisions in their business and personal lives, that protected against failure if it can not become a "sustainable survivor."
But surely, they want more from life than to maintain a level of mere survival. You want to excel as a leader in management and thrive, not just survive, in your personal life. So, beyond the awareness that comes from self-assessment and evaluation of their priorities, in addition to taking to achieve the highest level of take everything life has to offer steps.

Enter your personal goals and life motto not only helps you clarify the kind of balance you want to achieve, but also gives you a written recommendation to check each week. Many people refine their goals and the currency in several years.

Once a month, on one of these walks, discuss and review your life plan thoroughly. "The plan is dynamic - the change has been beneficial to our relationship and our lives to where they should be." Holland says.8
This practice of regularly reviewing your life plan indicates that the Netherlands qualified for the highest level of performance balancing under management of life. At this level, the implementation of ongoing action plans to improve the balance of the five dimensions of his life.
Paul N. Howell, CEO of Howell Corporation, called additional essential characteristic of a successful business leader with balanced: "The willingness and demonstrated ability to lead - or her - on a high moral and ethical standards in business and personal life.

Cámaras ilustra cómo un adecuado equilibrio entre el rendimiento de uno ejecutivo y otras dimensiones de la vida puede contribuir tanto a la realización personal y el éxito empresarial. La conciencia de la necesidad de un equilibrio ha llevado a muchos ejecutivos a tomar decisiones cruciales en su negocio del día a día y la vida personal, que los protegía de fracaso por lo que sólo pueden convertirse en un "sobreviviente perdurable."
Pero, sin duda, que quieren más de la vida que sólo el mantenimiento de un nivel de mera supervivencia. Usted quiere sobresalir como líder ejecutivo, y también prosperar, no sólo sobrevivir, en su vida personal. Así que más allá de la conciencia que viene de la autoevaluación y la evaluación de sus prioridades, hay pasos adicionales para tomar con el fin de alcanzar el nivel superior de tener todo lo que la vida puede ofrecer.
Cuarenta años de edad, Mark Holland es el fundador de una empresa próspera, Ascend HR Solutions. Al principio de cada semana de trabajo se saca un mensaje que dice:. ". Wendi es la persona más importante en mi vida Mi familia está antes que el trabajo y otras actividades en que vivo mi religión me proporciono la seguridad financiera para mi familia Nuestra casa.. es un refugio de los desafíos del mundo. tengo una actitud positiva, buscando y desarrollando la fuerza en otros. Ayudo a las personas a desarrollar y crecer, incluyendo, en su caso, exigir que rindan cuentas. el aire libre proporcionan un santuario sea necesario y se retiran para me ".
Holanda escribió esta declaración de misión personal en 1998 a raíz de una crisis importante en su negocio. Ese año la empresa perdió $ 800.000, lo que causó problemas significativos en su asociación. Holanda experimentó tanto estrés que perdió cerca de 20 libras.
A continuación, un seminario de negocios le inspiró a escribir su declaración de la misión de vida. Holanda admite que el seminario le dio "un buen revés tortazo en la cabeza." Decidió sacrificar nunca más a su familia y la salud por el bien de su negocio.
Durante un período de dos años, la declaración de misión personal de Holanda se convirtió en un proyecto de vida para él y su esposa. "Nos preguntamos, '¿Cuáles son las cosas importantes? ¿Qué quieres que suceda antes de morir?'" Ahora tienen a 30 años la vida itinerario planeado en una hoja de cálculo que cubre ahorros para la universidad, retiro, vacaciones, regimientos de ejercicio, en relación a Dios ya las actividades espirituales, trabajar objetivos, el crecimiento personal y las relaciones personales.
Holanda mejoró constantemente a sí mismo mediante la aplicación con regularidad, metas personales escritas claras y el lema de la vida. Escribir tus metas personales y un lema de vida no sólo le ayuda a clarificar el tipo de equilibrio que quiere lograr, pero también te da una referencia por escrito para comprobar semana a semana. Muchas personas refinar sus metas y lema en el tiempo varios de años.
Mark Holland y su esposa, Wendi dar largos paseos juntos al menos dos veces a la semana con su hija de dos años de edad, hija en los hombros de Mark y su hijo de cinco meses de edad, se acurrucó en el grupo de cabeza de Wendi. Una vez al mes, en uno de esos paseos, discuten y revisan su plan de vida a fondo. "El plan es dinámico - cambia Ha sido muy bueno para conseguir nuestra relación y nuestra vida de nuevo a donde tenían que estar,." Holanda says.8
This practice of regularly reviewing their life plan indicates that Holland progressed to the highest level of functioning under balancing ones managerial life. At this top level, you constantly implement action plans to improve the balance of all five dimensions of your life.
Paul N. Howell, CEO of Howell Corporation, named an additional crucial characteristic of a successfully balanced entrepreneurial executive: "The willingness and demonstrated ability to conduct him--or herself--on a high moral and ethical level in both business and personal life. Without it, success is uncertain and short lived."9
At the highest level, people who interact with you can see the sterling qualities of your servant leadership. Your executive actions are guided by clear plans that continually balance and rebalance all the dimensions of successful living:
1. Executive Success: Servant leadership, management skills, and career development.
2. Loving Relationships: Serving family, friends, and the needy.
3. Healthy Lifestyle: Regular exercise, good diet, and regular medical care.
4. Emotional Well-being: Stress management, recreation, and psychological stability.
5. Spiritual Maturity: Ethical character, commitment to ultimate values, peace with God, and devoting oneself to life's greatest spiritual priorities.
At this level, you regularly "retreat" from your usual executive responsibilities to rethink your personal mission, vision, and action plans. You deliberately make a continual concerted effort to maintain the delicate balance you need for a fulfilling life.

"I used to come at 6am and make calls without stopping," he said. "I do not have to."

As an entrepreneur or a business executive must give the best of both worlds. The needs of your business and the needs of your family and friends competing for your time and attention. And both expect the best from you. Heather Howitt has found a way to do so; you may have otherwise.
To enjoy both the benefits of business success and respect of the family, must work constantly to maintain balance. To successfully meet the challenges of a rapidly growing company that needs all the personal resources that come from a balanced life. "How to develop a balanced business personality?"
Some business leaders suffer from a dangerous imbalance. Other achieve excellence at the top to maintain the optimal balance. "Early in my career, I used to think that entrepreneurship is more art than science, it is a gift or something," said Cherrill Farnsworth. "I do not think so." 2 business leaders is not an automatic function of personality or artistic talent people are simply born with others and will be missed. instead, business efficiency with a balanced life is a process dynamics that must constantly work. If you do not support the development and promotion of entrepreneurial personality, you could die. then only a radical action that could boost entrepreneurship.
This is exactly what happened to Sam T. Goodner. 77th Its software company based in Austin Catapult Systems Corp., ranked among the fastest growing companies in the United States, while Goodner served as CEO and founder. At 33, Goodner decided to resign as CEO of the catapult to take on the new challenge of serving as CEO of Inquisite Inc., a subsidiary of the catapult selling software on the Internet. Goodner but quickly found their new digs are "stronger, more spartan" before. "Half of it is actually underground," he said, describing his much less attractive new office space.
Goodner but does not complain. After all, it was his idea to leave the comfortable position of CEO of the catapult with a workforce of 115 employees, directing Inquisite Inc., with only 20 employees. But now, something was wrong. To be sure, there were many challenges. The phone rang the load, the role has been filled "in" box, e-mails and came regularly to employees, suppliers and customers. Every day and every hour, urgent decisions should be made, insofar as anyone in his place would have been overwhelmed by the "tyranny of the urgent."
But increasingly, he felt like he was just responding to requests and not take a more proactive role visionary. And too often, long hours of work would they prefer to move into your home and personal life. Worse, he realized that even if I could meet an advantage in your personal world, could not catch what he lacked in his business.
"I had nothing left in my entrepreneurial creativity," reflected Goodner. "I fell behind in what was easy. You know what happens when you start going through your e-mail every day." Recognizing that his old entrepreneurial spirit was gone, he resigned and hired a new CEO to lead the company.
Maybe Goodner had already achieved financial independence and had other worthy goals to pursue in life. In this case, give up his position as CEO might be the best decision. But it could be another way of getting their entrepreneurship with a healthy balance of attention at work, family and friends? 3
Business performance can vary from low, "You are personally worked more and more challenged" -. "Action plans are implemented regularly to improve all aspects of your life" the most desirable level
The lowest performance level of your business at risk. Management is personally worked increasingly questioned. The incessant pressing problems your business seem to require much of your time that you spend working earlier and leave later and later into the night. You are like a tire out of control, you ride a steep hill, spinning faster and faster each time until it finally runs out of control and crashes.
Or, you might think it is this way: The underlying basis of their life at work and the house is built on sand instead of rock solid. Even the slightest storm immerse you in a danger zone, damaging their relationships with their partners and their families and friends.
You just have to survive, but you are in danger, like a stick of dynamite was lit; you do not have much time before things will explode in your company or in your family life, or both. You should get as soon as possible. But how? You can not help but think: "There must be a better way." And you're right! There is.
An ancient Hebrew text warns "In vain you get up early and stay up late, working for food to eat - for he [the Lord God] grants sleep to those he loves." 4 God, creator of our reality, we have designed and the world a better set of options.
"Over the past three years, I was able to identify what things little by little I can give to my CPA, or my book, or my office manager. Read about people who work 60 or 90 hours per week and earn multi-million dollar corporations to the detriment of your health and your family. Such are the examples of success in my book. success is to have a multi-million other things "says the 40-year old Tom Melaragno, founder of the $ 7.6 million consulting tablet, an IT consulting and staffing firm founded in 1992. well developed 12-hour days when he started the company, currently only works 8 or 9:00 and ensures that there is little to see his son two baseball games in the summer league and coach of the football team oldest fall.5
Taking the lead is to take control of your life invest wisely. Scott Tinley is an amazing triathlete who has participated in more than 350 triathlons, including 19 Ironman triathlons in Hawaii. The triathlon is an endurance sport that involves swimming, cycling and running. Surprisingly, Tinley won nearly 100 races. "This sport is a combination of personal challenge, camaraderie and the achievement of self-knowledge," says Tinley.
Tinley is more than just an athlete; it is also a successful entrepreneur. He co-founded a company that manufactures sportswear - Tinley Performance Wear. He and his business partners built more than 8 years, reaching about $ 10 million in sales. In 1992, they sold the company to Reebok. But more than just being a triathlete and a rich businessman, Tinley is also appreciated as a writer, traveler, father and husband. As productive as it is in many areas of life, which has not lost sight of the balance you need.
Tinley explains the work-life balance that keeps in his 20-year career as an athlete, husband, father and businessman. "Many people have this image of itself, which means that you have to drive back and force you to do things without someone looking over your shoulder is actually the opposite: you have to force yourself to have a balance in your life and be successful in everything you do "6.
He recognized the importance of what he calls a "delicate balance between preparation, competence, professionalism, support systems, and the world of family, friends, and pay the rent." It n has not lost sight of the fact that one of the best things in life are family, friends, and quiet operation in the park.
This is the kind of balance that John Chambers, CEO of Cisco Systems also conducted. An interviewer asked him: "What would have achieved and what follows after Cisco?"
"The most important thing for me is my family, and that does not change. My wife of 25 years is a perfect balance for me. When I get from time to time I do, it brings me to the snack and rarely, if I'm a little too sure of me back to earth too. "
"I have two children, I am very proud and they are my life. So my family is the first, second and third in terms of my priorities And when I'm at home, my wife reminds me when I walk in the door, I'm not the CEO. well at home, I'm like any other person. Taking the trash, changing light bulbs, and so on. "
"And what will I do after that? 'Ll Show when I retire. Believe that giving back to the community what to do. Would terrible to be perhaps the company most successful history and not give back. Way I I will not go to work for another company after Cisco. Cisco When I retire, I'm done with the business world and probably go teach. youth are fun interact with .... How do you teach and how to teach ethics integrity before? for this would be great! "7
Rooms shows how a balance between the performance of the executive and other dimensions of life can contribute to both personal development and business success. Awareness of the need for balance has led many leaders to take critical decisions in their business and personal lives, that protected against failure if it can not become a "sustainable survivor."
But surely, they want more from life than to maintain a level of mere survival. You want to excel as a leader in management and thrive, not just survive, in your personal life. So, beyond the awareness that comes from self-assessment and evaluation of their priorities, in addition to taking to achieve the highest level of take everything life has to offer steps.

"Now they have a life journey of 30 years provided in a spreadsheet covering college savings, retirement, vacation, exercise regiments, compared God and spiritual activities, work goals, personal development and relationships.
Holland constantly improved by applying regular, clear, written goals motto of life. Enter your personal goals and life motto not only helps you clarify the kind of balance you want to achieve, but also gives you a written recommendation to check each week. Many people refine their goals and the currency in several years.
Mark Holland and his wife, Wendi will take long walks together at least twice a week with her two-year-old daughter on the shoulders of Mark and his five months curled up in the lead group Wendi. Once a month, on one of these walks, discuss and review your life plan thoroughly. "The plan is dynamic - the change has been beneficial to our relationship and our lives to where they should be." Holland says.8
This practice of regularly reviewing your life plan indicates that the Netherlands qualified for the highest level of performance balancing under management of life. At this level, the implementation of ongoing action plans to improve the balance of the five dimensions of his life.
Paul N. Howell, CEO of Howell Corporation, called additional essential characteristic of a successful business leader with balanced: "The willingness and demonstrated ability to lead - or her - on a high moral and ethical standards in business and personal life.

9 Beatty and Burkholder, 1996 41.We have only one life, but we live in three worlds overlap - our corporate world, our familiar world, and our other social world. Imagine bringing your spouse and children in a meeting with seven of its staff of Sale. Sitting on the left, Miss Wright asks the question on the minds of other colleagues sale everybody, "Why bring your family to our meeting today? Will play a role in our discussion?" You simply replied: "No, they are there just so you can have their needs."
Of course, this is a highly unlikely scenario. You do not bring your family to work with you every day. However, there is Heather Howitt. Howitt, CEO of Oregon Chai in Portland, Oregon, balance motherhood with the responsibility of leading manufacturer of eleven million tea lattes. "Our office is a very casual place. We have a family member that is happening here. "
Live under the rain soaked the city of Portland, 32 years, often at his office Howitt slightly splashed with mud. Often spends her lunch break holding her one year old son, Sawyer, in a nearby park, or your nanny who takes him home. Other days, she just puts in his bed in his office.

«J'ai deux enfants, je suis très fier et ils sont ma vie.Alors ma famille est la première, deuxième et troisième en termes de mes priorités Et quand je suis à la maison, ma femme me rappelle quand je marche dans la porte, je ne suis pas le chef de la direction.bien à la maison, je suis comme toute autre personne.Prenant la poubelle, changer les ampoules, et ainsi de suite. "
"¿Y qué voy a hacer después de esto? Os enseñaré cuando me jubile. Creo que retribuir a la comunidad es lo que hay que hacer.

Cámaras ilustra cómo un adecuado equilibrio entre el rendimiento de uno ejecutivo y otras dimensiones de la vida puede contribuir tanto a la realización personal y el éxito empresarial. La conciencia de la necesidad de un equilibrio ha llevado a muchos ejecutivos a tomar decisiones cruciales en su negocio del día a día y la vida personal, que los protegía de fracaso por lo que sólo pueden convertirse en un "sobreviviente perdurable."
Pero, sin duda, que quieren más de la vida que sólo el mantenimiento de un nivel de mera supervivencia. Usted quiere sobresalir como líder ejecutivo, y también prosperar, no sólo sobrevivir, en su vida personal. Así que más allá de la conciencia que viene de la autoevaluación y la evaluación de sus prioridades, hay pasos adicionales para tomar con el fin de alcanzar el nivel superior de tener todo lo que la vida puede ofrecer.
Cuarenta años de edad, Mark Holland es el fundador de una empresa próspera, Ascend HR Solutions. Al principio de cada semana de trabajo se saca un mensaje que dice:. ". Wendi es la persona más importante en mi vida Mi familia está antes que el trabajo y otras actividades en que vivo mi religión me proporciono la seguridad financiera para mi familia Nuestra casa.. es un refugio de los desafíos del mundo. tengo una actitud positiva, buscando y desarrollando la fuerza en otros. Ayudo a las personas a desarrollar y crecer, incluyendo, en su caso, exigir que rindan cuentas. el aire libre proporcionan un santuario sea necesario y se retiran para me ".
Holanda escribió esta declaración de misión personal en 1998 a raíz de una crisis importante en su negocio. Ese año la empresa perdió $ 800.000, lo que causó problemas significativos en su asociación. Holanda experimentó tanto estrés que perdió cerca de 20 libras.
A continuación, un seminario de negocios le inspiró a escribir su declaración de la misión de vida. Holanda admite que el seminario le dio "un buen revés tortazo en la cabeza." Decidió sacrificar nunca más a su familia y la salud por el bien de su negocio.
Durante un período de dos años, la declaración de misión personal de Holanda se convirtió en un proyecto de vida para él y su esposa. "Nos preguntamos, '¿Cuáles son las cosas importantes? ¿Qué quieres que suceda antes de morir?'" Ahora tienen a 30 años la vida itinerario planeado en una hoja de cálculo que cubre ahorros para la universidad, retiro, vacaciones, regimientos de ejercicio, en relación a Dios ya las actividades espirituales, trabajar objetivos, el crecimiento personal y las relaciones personales.
Holanda mejoró constantemente a sí mismo mediante la aplicación con regularidad, metas personales escritas claras y el lema de la vida. Escribir tus metas personales y un lema de vida no sólo le ayuda a clarificar el tipo de equilibrio que quiere lograr, pero también te da una referencia por escrito para comprobar semana a semana. Muchas personas refinar sus metas y lema en el tiempo varios de años.
Mark Holland y su esposa, Wendi dar largos paseos juntos al menos dos veces a la semana con su hija de dos años de edad, hija en los hombros de Mark y su hijo de cinco meses de edad, se acurrucó en el grupo de cabeza de Wendi. Una vez al mes, en uno de esos paseos, discuten y revisan su plan de vida a fondo. "El plan es dinámico - cambia Ha sido muy bueno para conseguir nuestra relación y nuestra vida de nuevo a donde tenían que estar,." Holanda says.8
This practice of regularly reviewing their life plan indicates that Holland progressed to the highest level of functioning under balancing ones managerial life. At this top level, you constantly implement action plans to improve the balance of all five dimensions of your life.
Paul N. Howell, CEO of Howell Corporation, named an additional crucial characteristic of a successfully balanced entrepreneurial executive: "The willingness and demonstrated ability to conduct him--or herself--on a high moral and ethical level in both business and personal life. Without it, success is uncertain and short lived."9
At the highest level, people who interact with you can see the sterling qualities of your servant leadership. Your executive actions are guided by clear plans that continually balance and rebalance all the dimensions of successful living:
1. Executive Success: Servant leadership, management skills, and career development.
2. Loving Relationships: Serving family, friends, and the needy.
3. Healthy Lifestyle: Regular exercise, good diet, and regular medical care.
4. Emotional Well-being: Stress management, recreation, and psychological stability.
5. Spiritual Maturity: Ethical character, commitment to ultimate values, peace with God, and devoting oneself to life's greatest spiritual priorities.
At this level, you regularly "retreat" from your usual executive responsibilities to rethink your personal mission, vision, and action plans. You deliberately make a continual concerted effort to maintain the delicate balance you need for a fulfilling life.
