How do you think steady calm and heated passion relate to leadership? Do you agree with the importance of steady calm? How can passionate people learn to exhibit steady calm? At this point leadership is more about equipping others to act than about leading the charge. I find trusting others quiets my need for heated passion. Learn to delegate and trust those equipped to manage and lead. The more I need to talk, the faster my words come out. The more passionate I feel the more I need to talk. Listen more, speak less and speak slowly. Don’t let stress and pressure drive your attitude and interactions. Relax! If you’re passionate, learn to chill out. How to excel at the steady-calm side of leadership? However competence without a steady-calm disposition undermines the confidence of others. Steady-calm makes you predictable, consistent, approachable, and trustable. The calm side of leadership coupled with competence is the stuff that builds confidence in stake-holders, customers, subordinates and colleagues. I believe his passionate disposition may slow his progress. On the other hand, I have a friend on a corporate-level career path. I admire his ability to withhold judgment, explore issues, and speak with level tones. I’ve had opportunity to watch a leader who excels at steady-calm. Furthermore, heated passion actually hinders the things just listed. Listening, problem solving, decision making, conflict resolution, and more all require steady-calm. However, many leadership functions call for steady-calm rather than heated passion. I agree with those who say, “Passion trumps everything.”
Advocating for a compelling vision fires me up. I’ve always leaned toward the passionate side of life.
