Rulebreakers’ manifesto for passion leaders

Crafting your own rule book for big life and job wins

Hey Passion Leaders,

Are you a rule breaker or a rule follower? Are you a disruptor or just one of the herd?

You don’t have to follow all the rules. You can create your own rules. This is your life. How you put it all together is up to you.

i have managed up to 170 reports. But let me tell you, managing is not necessarily leading. Leading is an art and it doesn’t matter how many people you manage. In fact you don’t need to manage anyone to be a leader.

I’ve had some great managers. And I’ve had, pardon the French, some complete shit heads. It’s the leader managers that I remember the most that mentored me, inspired me, and fostered creativity and innovation in my workplace: and that means permission to break some rules.

In the rebellious realm of leadership, it's high time to tear up the rulebook and lead a revolution that not only rocks your world but propels your team and company to stratospheric success. Here's why being the rule-breaker-in-chief isn't just about personal passion—it's about sculpting a culture where everyone wins.

1. **Rule-Breaking for Team Harmony:**

Smash those stifling rules that hinder creativity and stifle your team's potential. Your rebellion is the catalyst for a culture where every voice is a melody, and every idea is a chord. Unleash your team's brilliance by breaking free from restrictive leadership norms.

2. **Risk-Taking, Team Edition:**

Lead by example as the risk-taker extraordinaire. When you embrace calculated risks, you send a signal that innovation and bold moves aren't just tolerated but celebrated. Your team, inspired by your daring spirit, will jump at the chance to contribute their own groundbreaking ideas.

3. **Innovate Like There's No Ceiling:**

Become the maestro of innovation by encouraging your team to throw out the rulebook on what's possible. Creative minds flourish in an environment where rules are mere suggestions. Be the conductor of a symphony of fresh ideas that resonates with clients, customers, and competitors alike.

4. **Foster a Culture of Unrestricted Autonomy:**

Ditch the corporate red tape and give your team the freedom to compose their own success stories. When everyone has the liberty to play to their strengths, your workplace transforms into a playground of collaboration, innovation, and unstoppable momentum.

5. **Flexibility for Team Harmony:**

Forget the traditional 9-to-5 grind; let flexibility be your team's anthem. Empower your employees to find their rhythm, whether it's early morning productivity or late-night brainstorming sessions. A liberated schedule translates to a more engaged and fulfilled team.

6. **Embrace Failure, Teach Resilience:**

Flip the narrative on failure. Turn each misstep into a valuable lesson for your team. By embracing failure as a collective challenge to overcome, you're not just building a successful company—you're fostering a resilient team culture that thrives on learning and growth.

7. **Networking Beyond Conventional Borders:**

Break out of the traditional networking mold and connect your team with diverse minds. Cultivate a network that plays different instruments, bringing in fresh perspectives and unexpected collaborations. A rich network infuses your company culture with a vibrant, dynamic energy.

Passion Leaders, your rebellion is a beacon for a culture that breeds success. Break free, empower your team, and let the revolution you lead resonate far beyond the walls of your company. It's time to rewrite the leadership score, one rule at a time. And while you’re at it, rewrite your personal life too how you balance work, and home life, creative passions and community: is all in your own rule book.

Let me know how you are doing in your quest for innovation and boldness. Schedule a clarity call with me. I’m listening!
