SUMMARY OF THE LEADER'S PATH

David Fischman

Resumen
The leader's path is a work that demonstrates that the development of the
changing oneself becomes hard and difficult due to the habits that need to be changed, in the end
from this, the person is someone new, learning to know themselves, and to the
besides, knowing where we want to go, and knowing the moment when it should be
stop; adapt to changes and create new paradigms, learning to
react positively to problems and to use the new ones
knowledge, not only being eloquent, but we must know how to listen and use
communication for purposes that contribute to the well-being of the organization or
society. Based on ancestral stories and personal experiences; it indicates us the
path towards good leadership both professionally and personally.

Chapter 1: Self-esteem
Self-esteem is being aware of our actions, it is awakening and realizing.
of our subconscious behaviors. Self-esteem implies knowing oneself
to ourselves and thus give us some time to reflect. If we are aware and
we know our strengths and weaknesses we will have the ability to reach
to the destination we choose. If we are awake and know ourselves, we will have the
the ability to decide what is best for us. If a person has no self-esteem,
It will be very difficult for me to take the path of leadership.

1.1 Self-esteem is the Foundation of Leadership

Nowadays, modern management consists of granting greater power and

responsibilities to subordinates seeking qualities and innovation in
the team's work, for this we need to raise self-esteem with a process
of high behavior in a real way with a psychological therapy for which
It is advisable to remove the taboo in companies regarding leadership style.
1.2 We are creators of prophecies
The self-fulfilling prophecy occurs when we have a belief so
deeply we act as if this were true. As a consequence,
Our behaviors end up making the prophecy come true.
In an experiment conducted by Rosenthal and Jacobson from the university
It is understood from Harvard that the academic performance of the students was
greatly influenced by the thinking of teachers, making us see that
many times we act as we believe and think, if we think that the
The economy is in bad shape because it will be bad since we will act as such.

1.3 You have to take off the bandages to compete

In an authoritarian management, work is done without being aware of the behaviors;
we must give those around us the opportunity to help us wake up with
positive aspects brought to the surface, the more aware we are of
our actions will be better with interpersonal management but always accepting
criticisms and suggestions that help us improve. The managers who stay
sleeping causes damage to the organizational climate of your company and demotivates the
personal; let's help each other wake up as leaders and thereby improve the relationship that
will motivate us to grow as individuals.

1.4 Deactivating the Mind Buttons

The author also tells us that on one occasion due to a misunderstanding and not
one of their human resources employees shouted terribly
repenting at the end of their actions; how many times do we react
disproportionately like the author's story causing harm to those who
they are around us and this often occurs for two reasons
important:
Having a traumatic childhood
Work stress
In order to improve all of this, an antidote is to think more about others, not
stay defensive take a service attitude to understand and
accepting others, another antidote is repair since this changes the
physiology of our body and relax it.

1.5 The culture of excuse

Sometimes we find ourselves waiting for successes in life to come to us.
by pure luck or we look for excuses to cover up our responsibility;
reducing work by creating an atmosphere of distrust and hypocrisy in the
company in this way deceiving ourselves; that's why the excuses
they are not favorable for our performance, therefore it must be changed
negative assessment of the word error and taking the risk to displace
competition.
1.6 Small goals, big achievements
Many times we desire success immediately, and when we do not achieve this, it makes us...
that we quickly start to lose motivation without even looking for the
perseverance losing success like this.

Never giving up is a secret of success, taking as an activity the

perseverance in the fight against obstacles and gratifications not
found that are not bad at all, because if they are accepted they help to improve
the process of life positively improving perseverance in the search for
ultimate goals. Let's trust ourselves to move forward for our
own effort in study or work to thus overcome ourselves.

Chapter 2: Vision
Feeling valued and competent to move forward and ready to achieve the
vision, discovering the path as purpose directing all your energies
to achieve it; considering that leadership is not a destination but a journey and the
vision only outlines the direction to achieve inner happiness on the sidelines
from the circumstances. But sometimes we get hooked on desires and needs
from our ego; for this, we must direct our actions towards our
vision enjoying y living the present with detachment.
Our passion must become our action. We all have something that
we are passionate about, often hidden, and which generally has nothing to
see with the work.
2.1 How to achieve passion in action

Many times passion is given by what we love to do the most in life and
Hello grants us to know ourselves first by identifying what it is that
we are passionate about it.

And on that is what we truly outline a true vision, the vision

It must be an inspiring yet achievable image of the future. The vision is one
photograph of the future of what we truly value in search of what we desire;
try to align the vision with one’s own vision by seeking what we
It excites with the point of union between common values and goals,
investigating and being creative to make our dreams come true, finding something
that fascinates us and allows us to get ahead of the competition.

2.2 Patience and perseverance with hot water

To achieve our outlined goals, it is often necessary to have a lot of
patience and perseverance as it is observed in the text as a woman with
patience and perseverance managed to obtain a hair from a fierce tiger, for today in
Today, patience is a forgotten quality due to all the changes in the
technology that makes our lives.
For a handful of chickpeas

It tells us about a behavior of monkeys in India that

When they grab something, they don’t let go, like the jar of chickpeas, regardless.
to be a menu, just like today many people decide to pursue their dreams,
goals without caring about harming their family or their health since many times
we believe that happiness is in material things, it is not wrong to pursue
our dreams but it should not harm our health, nor to
those around us as this could lead us to disadvantage.

Chapter 3: Creativity
On the road to vision, there are many difficulties and obstacles; and to
Overcoming them requires creativity. In the business world, we cannot
walking in the footsteps of competitors, we need to find new ones
paths that allow us to reach the top faster than the competition. If
we want to move forward on the path of leadership we have to break our habits and
to be open to new possibilities to achieve our vision.
3.1 Creativity: the first step of leadership
To be able to walk the path of leadership, it is often necessary
breaking the patterns that bind us to situations that disturb us, therefore
It is necessary to innovate and improve in our lives, starting by questioning ourselves.
our own habits, change your routine.
3.2 Change or die
To achieve a change in habits, a great effort is required.
On the contrary, this will not be enough, going back to the same thing; for this, first of all
We must adopt a risk-taking and mindset-breaking attitude.
3.3 Breaking the locks of the mind
The existence of 'mental lenses' does not allow us to see reality as it is, but instead
as we believe it is. Our mind has glass lockers with locks, the
which acts based on its contents, when it perceives external stimuli.
No one can judge or label a person just by what they perceive from their actions.
we do not have all the information to form a correct judgment. Let's be it
sufficiently flexible to question and destroy the mental channels, of that
we will have clear lenses to take advantage of the opportunities that come to us
offers life.

Chapter 4: Balance
Many of us have a wonderful inner fire but often
we go through moments of turbulence and difficulty that consume it,
To recover it and achieve our balance, we need to locate a space and access it.
to the inexhaustible source of energy that we all carry within.
Balance also means being at peace with oneself, understanding and
accept our emotions.

4.1 Leaving the eye of the hurricane

We often seek peace and happiness outside instead of looking within.

our interior just like, for example, the musk ox seeks a scent without
to know that it comes from himself. We seek happiness in goals and challenges
external or of recognition and all of this leads to us having a lower
decision-making ability.

4.2 The habit of hitting one's head against the wall

The habit of hitting one's head against the wall often occurs and after having
a problem that concerns us; but all this concern makes us
it produces our thinking ability and also harms our body
but many times the reason we have that bad habit is because
we seek to be right about what is wrong, concern prevents us from
let's objectively see the problems leading us to failure.
4.3 Reaction or creation

Many times in our life we resort to the habit of reaction, we react.

negatively when things don't go as we want, the behavior of the
reaction fills us with negative thoughts and emotions that block
our capacity for analysis and reasoning; and they affect our goals and even more
Health. It is our perception and will that ultimately define the reaction.
and the creation of our future.

Chapter 5: Learning
The knowledge acquired by studying a degree, course, master's program,
, if these are not applied in daily life, they are lost today in
Today we have more means to fill ourselves with knowledge as well
Better skills are being developed in today's students.

5.1 Leadership is not taught, it is learned

The student's mind is like a vessel that fills with knowledge like
also others like concerns, tensions, problems; all of this makes that
the student does not fully grasp what they should truly learn.

Leadership has a component of knowledge, skills, and attitudes and

one learns from it, and this is learned by practicing it daily.

5.2 Representing knowledge

Just like water that is not used is lost going to the sea, in the same way...
a company invests in training its workers but many of them
knowledge is not used and is allowed to be lost, for that we have to perceive
knowledge as an asset as important as equipment and create a
system to care for it and spread it.

This knowledge must be renewed every day through research.

entertaining with questions, but for that it is also necessary that the who
may teach us or when we teach may we have the necessary knowledge and
true for your teaching.

5.3 The true treasure

The true treasure is in knowledge, wisdom, as well as wise words.

What did the man say to his children before he died so that they would break their ...
habits of laziness and sloth and replace them with new work habits.

Habits are subconscious behaviors that determine our

Behavior, the positive aspect of habits is that they make life easier
routine, the negative aspect of habits is that they chain us to what limits the
learning better behaviors. The first step to changing a habit
to move from the 'unconscious incompetence' to the 'conscious competence'
incompetence.
For this, it requires a lot of strength, energy since it is not that easy to get out of a
habit already accustomed. But many times sticking to the same habit makes that
we miss many opportunities in life.

Chapter 6: Effective Communication

The cut of a leader is the communication with their staff; there is no good one.
communication in difficult times, the leader will not have anyone to rely on to
moving forward and this is achieved when one knows how to listen and express themselves
assertively; this can be useful or dangerous because it helps to generate a climate
trust and unity of a leader with their staff; but if misused, it can generate
pain, anger and creating a destructive atmosphere in the organization. That's why a leader does not
one must be afraid to publicly communicate their ideas, as it is the only way
to convey their vision in an assertive manner.
6.1 We know how to listen

When the mind is full of ideas of knowledge, they enter and spill out,
but if the mind is empty and truly wants to listen, it needs various
attention factors; that is why there are different levels of listening: one of them
it's listening disconnected, the body is there but the mind is not; the next is the
competitive listening, listening and this is only halfway; the third is listening
verbal, it consists of listening to the words but does not distinguish valuable information
Lastly, this is empathetic listening, which involves hearing both the verbal and non-verbal parts.
verbally, such as emotions, always showing a service attitude. The
the ability to listen empathically to others is to stop listening to ourselves
only to ourselves, achieving better results and we will contribute to the
well-being of the company.
6.2 Respect in communication
Two styles of communication are shown: aggressive and passive. The person with
aggressive style explodes in the face of problems and tends to underestimate the work of
Others think they are right and are dominant and invade the space.
of attention; but people who have a passive style do not explode but rather attack
in a more subtle and more harmful way; they tend to be insecure and fearful individuals, the
passive causes the organizational culture to lose its air by speaking behind the back of
third parties generating an atmosphere of distrust. Both styles present a deficit of
respect for others and likewise as is the case with the aggressive; the assertive style
is where the person takes responsibility for their life, expresses respect and is
kinder, now the answer is in our hands to identify to what
mud we lean.
6.3 The power of the word
The executives of a company when they talk behind their colleagues' backs
they poison the organizational culture with distrust and they try to elevate their
Ego belittling others and this is the main cause of destruction.
the 'rule' of the team causes loss of coordination and each one goes off on their own
his side remaining as the winner the opponent. This habit creates in the
organization climates of distrust, fear, and unfair competition
decreasing the ability to compete; some suggestions to avoid
this problem is: establish the rule of open cards, stopping the conversation
to turn your back to avoid an explosion of anger; another is to set an example, this works
when we set the example by thinking before speaking using words
to build and not to destroy, this attitude will benefit the organizational climate
it will increase our own peace and tranquility.
6.4 Talking about the fear of speaking

Nowadays, when we stand in front of an audience, we feel a

response to fight and flight, for which there are various antidotes such as the
next: loses in serving and/or in asking, asking something from a person who has
Authority over us generates a situation of fear, but when?
we serve with love and selflessly, fear is lost, in this case
our ego has a lot to lose, feeling unloved and unaccepted; but
if we stand before the audience with an attitude of giving them the best that
we can offer fear has no place; another antidote is to prepare oneself,
To reduce fear is to know our audience in advance and for
Lastly, another suggestion is not to lose perspective, we see a presentation.
As a huge problem, that is why to overcome fear we have to
to take risks and face them by taking advantage of all the opportunities for that reason not
We have nothing to fear except the fear of oneself.

Chapter 7: Delivery Power

Everyone is responsible for the power they wield, that is why no one commands anyone.
everyone has the same power. Having control over our lives motivates us and
it gives us health, when we distribute power and decision-making more
organization, the more speed we will have to respond to the demands of
our clients, we will also increase their trust in the institution, because
In the institution, it shows them with concrete actions that it trusts them.
7.1 Considerations for understanding Empowerment
Empowerment is not giving up power, it is unleashing positive power to improve the
quality, achieving the results of empowerment must be defined first
expand the limits of authority and power:
Know the company's mission; the mission is a healthy boundary of
It must be known and shared by the organization.
Autonomy to use resources; when employees manage and control
they care much more about optimizing their purchases and their own budget
save resources they become small entrepreneurs, which increases
its motivation and efficiency.
Flexibilize regulations and policies; they are necessary for the orderly management of a
organization. They know what rules and policies grade customers and
which ones need to be flexibilized.
Known information; when we have complete information we feel that
things are under control, that we have the power, the information is
Our power is that our competition is outside, not inside.

Screws are useful but not for all jobs, neither is the style of leadership.
it should not be fixed but vary according to the development of the subordinate,
A common mistake is giving power to a subordinate when they are not ready, the steps
to modify leadership styles:

Define the most important functions of the subordinate and evaluate their level of
development.
The rules are clear to avoid problems of unmet expectations.
Outline a training plan, achieve the growth of your staff.
Remember that making mistakes is the fastest rule to learn.

Being more direct to avoid misunderstandings and thus prevent problems with expectations.

that will bring time to develop more creative tasks that have more
visibility in the organization.

7.3 Rental cars are not washed

If a leader wants to have followers capable of self-leadership, they must try.

that they take on more responsibilities. Self-leadership is the ability
by leading themselves they must try to take on more and more
responsibilities and autonomy in decision-making. Being a leader means letting go

A person cannot lead themselves unless they have the competencies.

Providing feedback to the subordinate according to their development involves a
behavior change, the only way to achieve forming people who lead like this
the same is making them take responsibility and ownership of their work.
Self-leadership motivates and helps staff grow and creates an optimal environment.
When the best leader finishes their work, they say we did it.

7.4 For dictators and subordinates 'yes sir'

The dictatorial and authoritarian leader neurotically becomes attached to the subordinate.
"Yes, sir." This type of leader has a self-esteem problem: deep down, they do not
feels competent, does not feel valuable. Traditional education also
it contributes to forming 'yes sir'. The fact that what the boss does is done
wants implies that if it goes wrong, the responsibility is not his but the boss's.
It creates a culture of fear where people do not say what they think but criticize.
destructively, we need people who question and do not accept the
directives as orders, that analyze and have the capacity to disagree that
have the courage and integrity to live on the basis. People who stand out
to seek approval and move on to the business of serving the customer.

For our society, teamwork is a sign of weakness. But if
We want to enter modernity, these values must start to change.
If we do not change for ourselves, the globalization of the economy will make us
Change. Working in a team involves acquiring a series of skills, the
globalization of the economy will make us change. Teamwork increases the
performance and increase their motivation, valuing the diversity of styles of the

There is no turning back, to work as a team we must know each other, value
our differences.

Chapter 9: Service
As children, we all go through an egocentric stage. It's part of our
development and training, the problem is that many are stuck in this
stage and they neither grow nor mature. When we are solely focused on ourselves
we miss many opportunities to be happy, importance
to give and receive, if one gives, one also receives. Service is good for health. The

It is common in our environment to find people in managerial positions.
who lead based on formal power, a power that is based on fear of
the reprisals:

Selfish leadership; it is short-term, does not motivate, nor generate commitment.

Servant leadership; gains power from the respect, gratitude, and admiration of the
followers, which generates long-term commitment.

When the leader only wants to rise, they put their interests above others.
the leader is arrogant and is concerned with praising himself, he distances himself from his reality, we have to
forget the old arrogant and authoritarian leadership paradigms. Let's have
courage to let go of our ego and free the humble servant that we all carry
inside.

9.2 It is advisable to exercise ego-free leadership.

Nowadays, leaders need to delegate more to their subordinates.

Those with low self-esteem possess a strong ego, a personality

leaders we have to awaken and understand that we are more than egos.

humans. The future of technology is unpredictable, the inequality in the world,
globalization, when it comes to survival, is hard to look beyond.
evolution does not lie in technology, but in its level of consciousness, service is
an inexhaustible source of peace and happiness, the only way to change the

Conclusion:

It is a work full of stories like the one mentioned at the beginning of this introduction,
stories that convey a lot of wisdom. What is interesting about them is that
