Freedom of choice is an crucial aspect of our lives. Therefore, we would like to encourage you to learn the art of choosing in the freedom and wisdom of mind. Yes, due to the fact that freedom of choice is simply a skill to learn. Take time and energy to learn this art, due to the fact that the choice accompanies us throughout our lives. It is worth guarding the freedom of our choices, and in order to do so wisely, we request to improve in this. The dynamics of the planet and its diversity are perfect for us to constantly train the art of wise choice. At the same time, they are a temptation to give work for this choice to individual else, to trust on others' choices and to abandon their own effort to cost and lost energy. This leads us to a reality that is created by others, but we agreed to it and we are responsible. Most of the time, it starts to bother us erstwhile we lose our orientation on a map of another people's choices.
Leader, Leader, look at respective places on the map of freedom of choice to see and realize the origin of your choices and the state of your possible for freedom of choice and strength to defender it.
The first place on the map of freedom of choice is self-knowledge and reflection. Self-knowledge is the ability to admit and realize your thoughts, emotions, desires, values and behaviour. It is simply a process in which the individual becomes more aware of its interior, as well as its influence on the environment. This includes knowing your strengths, weaknesses, goals and beliefs. reflection in turn is an active process of reasoning about your own experiences, actions and elections. This is an analysis in which the individual tries to realize why something happened and what lessons can be learned from it. reflection helps in learning from mistakes, improving skills and developing as a person. In the context of leadership, self-knowledge and reflection are highly important. Leaders who realize themselves and can reflect their actions are more aware of their influence on others and can better manage the team. The possible of their conscious, free, wise choices is very large.
Understanding our values, goals and preferences is the first step. The reflection on what we truly want allows us to further specify the way of our personal, professional and improvement of the organisations we lead. In the moving of everyday life, we very seldom have a chance to visit this place peacefully on the map of freedom choice. We encourage you to look at it especially erstwhile you have a dilemma, whether you make a choice or not, and if so, what choice to make.
Second place on the map of freedom of choice – examination of options. Wisely guarding freedom of choice means not only choosing, but besides exploring different options. Let us not be afraid to research different paths to find the 1 that suits us best. The openness to exploring options is something in our opinion powerfully linked to a given generation. A decade or 2 ago, it was uncommon to change colleges in their course, and today's generation of 20-year-olds has the courage to make a conscious choice to change their course of survey after their originally chosen way turns out to be wrong.
Contrary to appearances, freedom of choice, including the examination of options, for today's generation of 40- and 50-year-olds, is much more hard and was not perfected due to limited possibilities. Studying options for the art of choice is of large importance, strengthening us in the skills of conscious choice. investigating options is not easy – it is associated with specified a hard change for people. It is all the more crucial to look at the map and see if and how we can verify. Let's start with doing simple things in a fresh way: a fresh format for gathering the team, a fresh format for giving feedback. It is worth examining options in time cycles. The option we choose present may be good for us for the next fewer years, but anyway, it is worth reviewing regularly. The ability to survey options is simply a very crucial competence for leaders of today. We are examining options related to how to manage a diversified squad in rapidly changing circumstances, which is constantly facing different fresh challenges.
Third place on the map of freedom of choice – balance. Freedom of choice may lead to an information overload. It is crucial to keep the balance between examining options and deciding. Let our choices be thoughtful and knowledge-based.
The 4th place on the map of freedom of choice – adaptation. The planet of work is changing dynamically. Adaptation is the ability to adapt to the conditions of the fresh generation, which we lead as leaders, fresh geopolitical, economical situations, fresh regulatory requirements, wide changes of the ESG type, or the improvement of fresh technologies. In a dynamic planet of work, adaptability is the key to success and survival. People who can flexibly change their approach, skills and behaviour have a greater influence on the freedom of their choices. Adapting to the changing labour marketplace allows for fresh actions, developing the skills needed to carry out future tasks in a changed format. Wisely guarding freedom of choice means flexibility and willingness to adapt to fresh circumstances.
Place 5 on the map of freedom of choice – social support. Professional improvement is not a solo effort. It is worth utilizing the support of mentors, colleagues and another experts. It helps us make wise decisions. Social and intellectual conditions for the improvement of human freedom and choice are a fascinating area of research, especially in the context of leadership. It is worth drawing on the knowledge, experience and support of our leadership communities and sharing cognition with others.
Remember that wisely guarding freedom of choice is simply a process that requires time, reflection and openness to fresh opportunities. It involves everyday choices, for example, about how I will respond to the behaviour of an worker who is not in line with the values of the company, and at the same time with choices taken much little frequently – what mission and imagination I want in my organization. Regardless of the importance and importance of the decisions, it is worth looking at these fewer places of the map of freedom of choice so that this process is consistent and wise. Let's be perfect in the election of tiny everyday things. The ability of conscious, wise, and free choice will come back to us with double power erstwhile we come to make choices of large importance.
We want you good luck in your efforts to become the best guardians of your wise and free choices.
