MIRROR

Whole life is centered around themselves

(what I look like, what do I feel, what do I

want)

All they long they concerned about

themselves

Being a mirror is the very factor of being

depressed

Try to leave the mirror and find someone to

serve to.

We tend to see urgent things

WINDOW

People can see me, so I have to be careful

I am seen through the window and I could

see other people as well

Who is someone else

IN LEADERSHIP..

From the book "Good to Great by Jim Collins

There are 5 levels of leadership.

Theres a behavioral pattern of Level 5leaders when it comes to humility.

He calls this "the window and the mirror"


9/22

In real scenarios, charismatic from groups

that didn't make the grade as great had a

tendency to look through the window to

blame other factors for their lack of success

and looked in the mirror to take credit whenthings went well.( The mirror, in these cases,

serves only to magnify their already

oversized egos.) But with Level 5 leaders, they looked out of

the window to credit others for success and

looked in the mirror to apportion'


10/22

The emphasis on luck turns out to be part of abroader pattern that we came to call the windowand the mirror. Level 5 leaders, inherentlyhumble, look out the window to apportion credit

even undue credit to factors outsidethemselves. If they cant find a specific personor event to give credit to, they credit good luck.At the same time, they look in the mirror to

assign responsibility, never citing bad luck orexternal factors when things go poorly.Conversely, the comparison executivesfrequently looked out the window for factors to

blame but preened in the mirror to credit


11/22

Leaders who choose to see the world through the

window are those who also believe that there isopportunity beyond the glass. Their cup is half fulland they have faith that things can improve, Theysee opportunity through the window and are ready to

grasp it when ready. Conversely, leaders who view their world from the

looking-glass, like Alice in Wonderland, see anequally contorted and inaccurate view of the world. A

fixation on the mirror may result in leaders resting ontheir laurels and a glass half-empty approach. Theybecome self-absorbed: they are not open to newideas nor opportunities preferring to maintain thestatus quo (which has worked for them so far).

TALL POPPY SYNDROME

Its described as an organizational malaisewhere people of intelligence and talented are

resented, attacked and criticized because their

talents or achievements distinguish them from

their peers. Like a tall poppy sticking upamongst the blooms around it, the tallest is cut

off to ensure uniformity around the Golden

Mean. This is similar to the Crab-pot Mentality where

its been observed that when a single crab

attempts to escape a trap, or a pail, the others

will drag him back ensuring they all meet a


13/22

Effective leaders are those who can readily

identify these dysfunctional organizational

behaviors and instead of cutting down the

tall poppies, and insisting that employees tohuddle obediently around the average,

create an environment that enables these

positive outliers to make a contribution. Theyare not fear or resented but supported and

celebrated.


14/22

If we want to be great leaders we MUST bein the habit of looking in the mirror whenthings go wrong, but being quick to point outthe window to give praise and credit when

things go right.

In short words, Take Responsibility to every

details, and do not to claim it all by yourselfrather give credit to those who have helpedyou to reach victory.

OUR BIBLICAL CALLING IS LEVEL 5 LEADERSHIP

who did not come to be served, but to serve

and to give his life to redeem many people.

Hebrews 12: 1-2 As for us, we have this largecrowd of witnesses around us. So then, let usrid ourselves of everything that gets in the way,and of the sin which holds on to us so tightly,

and let us run with determination the race thatlies before us. Let us keep our eyes fixed onJesus, on whom our faith depends frombeginning to end. He did not give up because of

the cross! On the contrary, because of the joythat was waiting for him, he thought nothing ofthe disgrace of dying on the cross, and he isnow seated at the right side of Gods throne.
