How Everyday People can Become Everyday Leaders

Leadership is a process, it’s an art, says Alain Hunkins. What more are we neglecting as a leader? Do we have lessons from everyday life? Hunkins for sure focused on many of them at his visit on The xMonks Drive Podcast.

Making Sense Without The Awareness

How would a person who is born and brought up in this kind of context, where he is not aware? What kind of impact would it have on himself and on the people around him?

Alain believes that if we're born into this and don't have the understanding and context, it's as if you're saying good off is this sense of, he believes there's this inner continual motion to keep moving and driving and trying to achieve something. And the issue with that is that as you continue to attempt, the situation gets worse.

Leadership from Alain Hunkins: Leadership is a Performing Art

Leadership is the art of enlisting the help of others to accomplish a common goal. Leadership, he argues, is performance art if he can break it down a little bit. Because, in the end, it all boils down to our actions. That's exactly what we say. And this is what we do.

Leadership is a method of being and acting in the world because it takes leadership whenever any of us try to persuade anyone to do anything, and it doesn't even have to be with another person. If we're attempting to get somewhere, it could simply be leading ourselves.

Foundation of Strong Leadership

What are the secrets of leadership in your book, how do you define the foundation of strong leadership?

Connection, communication, and collaboration are the three secrets. Because fundamental leadership isn't a viewpoint, he believes the essence of leadership is a connection. It's a partnership between two people: a leader and someone who decides to follow because, remember, following is a decision.

Difference between Relationship and Connection

Three concentric circles are the model he has. So the connection is in the middle, yet communication flows around it, implying that the connection is a component of communication. Then there's the fact that they're not three different things, but rather three completely interdependent elements.
