Have you been described as introverted, empathic, highly sensitive, projector, or other intuitive personality types?
What we often see as our kryptonite, may be our greatest strength.
As we enter a new era of enlightenment, these brilliant visionaries are quickly changing the language of leadership, speaking volumes by embracing their genius.
Here are 9 qualities of leadership the quiet determined ones have, that the world needs more of now more than ever.
1. Perseverance
Don’t be fooled by their calm demeanor and gentle sensibility. Quiet ones can often be perceived as slow, shy, dull, socially awkward, under-achievers, and pushovers. Under that gentle exterior shell, lies a powerhouse of grit that might rival the willpower and discipline of a monk. They dare to show up and serve others daily. When push comes to shove, there’s a lot more under the hood than they seldom reveal. They are true overcomers that learn to pivot on a dime in the face of adversity. Like Ferdinand (the Bull), challenge their values, and you may be surprised with a side you never expected.
2. Patience
Lifedancers challenge the hustle and hard work ethos. They are infinite players in the game of life. They pause, listen, and assess before taking action. They learn to embrace what works and what to eliminate through daily consistent action. They know success is in the process and they're in it for the long haul. They also want to be seen, heard, and feel understood, they just do it in a way that honors their natural time, boundaries, and a desire to be authentically themselves. They don’t base their self-worth on having to be first, win others over, or by getting louder to attract attention.
3. Efficiency
These masters of the mundane carefully calculate their every move. They’re better attuned with the cycles of the Earth, sun, moon, and stars, the weather, giving them an edge in flowing with their lifedance and optimizing their energy. They create structure and keep things organized by harmonizing with universal energies. They use their logical, objective approach to make important decisions. Developing valuable time management skills helps them build duplicatable systems of efficiency in order to monetize their mission.
4. Vulnerability
Their privacy is their superpower. Overcoming their mysterious image to reveal their deepest, innermost secrets of passion and pain takes courage and vulnerability. With great power comes great responsibility, they know that ultimately in fulfilling their purpose, sharing their story and knowledge to help others is bigger than their need to protect their identity.
5. Passionate Compassion
They appreciate the uniqueness of each person they meet. When developed, their empathy strength gives them an uncanny ability to put themselves in another’s shoes to better understand aspects of the human condition. They are loyal to their values and will stand with others who value the same. In a supportive environment, they’ll thrive, becoming a friend for life, your most trusted ally and loyal advocate.
6. Elegant Strength
They honor their core values. Their internal compass keeps them on course, especially during tough times. They are often led by their emotions and when they learn to harness this power, they possess a mental toughness and emotional fortitude that exudes charm and makes them unstoppable. They have a voracious tenacity for life. In learning to quell their inner chaos, they tend to develop a calm, gentle exterior. Underneath this Hygge exterior, you’ll find an adrenaline-pumping, heart-thumping rave beat at their core.
7. Savy Listeners
They listen with their whole body, not just their ears. When tuned in to their intuitive abilities to guide themselves and others in making important decisions. They hear what’s being said, and at the same time are cleverly deciphering the subtle nuances of what’s not being said. What it all boils down to is this. Cut to the chase. Get to the point. What I hear you saying is...
8. Keen Observers
Because they spend so much time quietly observing, they don't miss a beat. They use this knowledge to better understand the unwritten language that goes unnoticed by most. They are big picture visionaries who can read between the lines. They shed light on the invisible, dreaming beyond the extraordinary. They see the whole forest, and the trees, their pipedream may seem like pie in the sky to most. End the end, they’re too humble to say, “I told you so.” as everyone else catches up to speed. By this point, they’ve already moved on.
9. Deep Divers
They think and feel deeply. They’re content to tread water on the surface, but invite them to dip below the surface, this is where they come alive with sober insight and awareness. Led by their senses and emotion, when developed, this strength gives them a sense of balanced stability and depth of character. It takes courage to venture into the cave, to dive deeper, to get to the essence, to seek the real truth. They’re stimulated by deep philosophical heart to hearts and are ready to face what they uncover. There’s nothing shy about that.
Lifedancers are committed to living a fully authentic life, starting with themselves first. They use their passion for thinking and learning to create, connect, and grow in a way that feels sustainable, joyful, and rewarding. Utilizing these qualities improves not only their personal growth, and those who are willing to learn from them, taking self-leadership to new heights.
