what I want to do today is we’re going to look back at some of your favorite topics and ideas from the previous year and I’m going to give you some different clips that I believe will speak to you to reinforce some of what we talked about and help you strengthen your leadership as you go from one year into the next now we started off the year with very important learning about the eight habits of great leaders what I want to do is dive back into the first exercise that we talked about and cover again how do we create the identity
statements that help you become the leader you’re supposed to be so in order to create the right habits to get the desired results let’s get to work I’m going to give you some application this is your assignment I want to encourage you to do it with your team and we’re going to create two identity shaping statements the first one we’re going to create is what I call an I am statement and the second one is an i do statement I am and I do and I’m going to walk you through this and I want you to do this exercise we’re going
to start with an I am statement and in one sentence what you’re going to do is you’re going to try to answer the question what kind of person do I want to become or what kind of leader will I be this is who before do and to help you process your answer I’m going to just talk about like two common leadership desires when I work with people a lot of leaders say hey you know I want to be more organized or some leaders say I want to care more about my people and so let’s say that’s one of those is your goal you’re going to write an I am
statement and using your hypothetical goal you might say this I am what am I I am an organized leader or your I am statement might might be I am a leader who cares about people now in your mind you might be saying but I’m not it doesn’t matter we’re going to declare what we want to be we’re going to put it in present tense I I am I am an organized leader and I want to encourage you if you want to be creative be creative with this statement you can um add some color to it you might say I’m an organized productive results
