Leadership Development 1.4
Above and Below the Line
Below the Line
Examples:
- Gossip, Telling someone they aren’t enough, Name calling, shoving someone
Having below-the-line behavior means acting resistant to situations and being reckless. When people show below-the-line behavior, they show no work ethic and give low energy to things they are doing. Below the line, behavior leads to failure.
Personal Reflection
: A time I practiced below the line behavior was when I was talking to my parents. While arguing with my parents, I was yelled and throw a tantrum. This is an example of bad behavior especially towards my parents. I acted out and felt guilty for being angry and yelling at them instead of calmly trying to explain my feelings.
Above the Line
Having above-the-line behavior means acting with purpose and skill. When people act above the line, they work together making their teamwork stronger and making them better leaders overall. Above-the-line behavior leads to success.
Examples:
- Taking responsibility, asking someone to sit with you, telling someone they aren’t alone, help tell the adult
Personal Reflection:
A time I practiced above the line behavior was during a soccer game. Throughout the game this girl on the opposing team would make snarky comments towards me, shove and tackle me when she had the chance, and give me dirty looks. Instead of lashing out and getting upset, I had good sportsmanship at the end of the game and smiled at her.
BCD
BCD never solves any problems and leads to energy being wasted. People tend to blame others for their actions, complain about what is happening to them instead of having a positive outlook on it, and try to defend their own bad behavior. This behavior does not help anyone.
BCD = BLAME, COMPLAIN, DEFEND
E + R = O
The outcomes we have are not defined by the event that is happening but by the response we chose to act on. The one thing we always have control over is ourselves, so how we choose to response in bad or good situations is entirely up to us. Although many people tell themselves they can change the outcome, which is true, but only because of the response.
Events + Responses = Outcome
“R Factor” Disciplines
Step Up
Stepping up means to rise above the line and give the best possible response in difficult situations. Even when it seems impossible, boosting your responses is the most important.
Adjust and Adapt
Life always take different directions and requires you to make changes even when you don't want to. Learning to adjusting and adapting to situations, will help later in life and now when you get hit with experiences you are not ready for.
Get your Mind Right
Having the right mindset means no negative thoughts. It is impossible to live a happy life if you have negative thoughts. The way you choose to portray your attitude directly affects how you want to live your life.
Make a Diffrence
Making a difference can be hard at times. Your response can be considered an event for people around you. Your actions can definitely impact people around you and make a positive or negative difference.
Press Pause
Pressing pause allows you to stop and take a minute to think and clear your mind. Trying to understand the situation and what you are trying to accomplish, gives you the outcome you are trying to pursue.
Build Skill
Developing skills that can help you later in life can be very useful. Although you may develop bad habits, its not to late to change them and build good skills, Being intentional about the skills you want to build is also very helpful. The path you choose to go on, is effect you.
