Inspire Exceptional Performance by Shifting Your Energy

“The positive thinker sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.”
–Author Unknown

What kind of “energy” do you display? Does your energy level allow you to “see the invisible” or “achieve the impossible?” Do you use anabolic energy (positive, productive, growth-oriented)? Or, do you use more catabolic energy (negative, draining, destructive)? When you receive feedback, how do others describe you? How is that similar/different from how you see yourself?

Effective leaders use more anabolic energy than catabolic. Anabolic energy allows you to develop an effective leadership style that positively influences and changes the world around you (in addition to yourself).

Anabolic leaders:

  • Create a participative, flexible leadership style versus one that is controlling and autocratic
  • Lead versus manage
  • Communicate with transparency instead of withholding information
  • Effectively use their emotional intelligence versus disconnecting emotionally
  • See opportunities where others see problems
  • Are open to change versus resisting change

Remember, you have a choice about how you use your energy. Positive energy is powerful, inspiring, and allows you to capitalize on opportunities. How you use your energy determines what you attract and what’s reflected back to you. It determines how effective you are as a leader.
