On becoming a limitless leader šŸ”„šŸ”„

Jerry Morla

Perhaps some of you are already familiar with the concept of "The Big 5" šŸ– personality traits theory, which is commonly utilized by hiring managers for personnel selection. This theory suggests that an individual's personality can be assessed across five dimensions: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism (OCEAN). Supposedly, everyone possesses some degree of each of these traits, which can serve as predictors of employee performance.


However, recent research has uncovered a potentially stronger predictor of individual #performance: guilt šŸ˜©


It appears that individuals who experience higher levels of guilt often exhibit greater commitment to tasks and surpass expected performance levels to avoid it.


Some argue that since guilt falls within the conscientiousness dimension, highly conscientious individuals are more likely to outperform those who are less conscientious.


Whether or not you were aware of this, one thing is clear: it is not ok to manipulate conscientious employees or use guilt trips to compel them to perform, unless you are aiming to be a diabolical leader šŸ‘æ


Instead, a more favorable approach would be to foster #enthusiasm šŸ‘ˆšŸ’„šŸ”„āš”ļø and cultivate this attribute in all individuals within your #teams.


The remarkable thing about enthusiasm is that it spreads like wildfire šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„ through emotional contagion ā¤ļø, and is likely to enhance positive performance factors and behaviors such as #inspiration, #motivation, commitment, passion, and optimism within your teams šŸ‘ŠšŸ„‡


So, what makes enthusiasm so incredibly powerful?


The answer lies within the word itselfšŸ’”


Enthusiasm originates from the Greek word "entheos," which means to be inspired or possessed by #God. "Entheos" stems from the root word "theos," meaning "God" in literal terms. Hence, enthusiasm quite literally means to be filled with GodšŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„


This, my friends, is precisely why enthusiastic leaders are limitless and unstoppable! šŸ’„šŸ’„šŸ”„šŸ”„


Never underestimate a #leader full of enthusiasm! šŸ’„šŸ’„šŸ’„
