Leading Myself
The unexamined life is not worth living.
Socrates (469 BC - 399 BC), in Plato, Dialogues, Apology
Who Am I?
Leadership begins by knowing who you are. When you know who you are, you hold a strategic advantage in life and work. Conversely, inner doubt becomes amplified in every decision and action and reduces one's effectiveness.
Clarity in the following four "Great Life Questions" remarkably defines and directs your life.
- Why am I here?
- Where am I going?
- How will I get there?
- What is important?
Very simply, your answers to these questions are your purpose, vision, mission, and values, respectively. Crystal clarity on these questions, however, is just the beginning. Living into them is the essence of being On-Purpose®.
You've said, "Enough already! I want my life to matter and to make a difference. I'm finished wasting time on unfulfilling pursuits. I'm capable of more and I need a fresh direction and focus to live authentically. But how?"
In the late 1980s, Kevin W. McCarthy, a business strategist and advisor, recognized this costly trial and error pattern of living in his clients, friends, and self. By combining personal development with business strategy along with research and reading he developed The On-Purpose® Approach. Here is a proven, practical, and powerful means to not just answering the Great Questions, but to make them real in every aspect of your life.
