The 'compliment' to praising is purification - its purpose is to help us identify areas that are negatively impacting performance while building our credibility as leaders. Purification is about removing obstacles and barriers to higher performance, both for the leader as well as for your Team and colleagues.
Transformational leaders isolate one or two harmful beliefs or behaviours and work to eliminate or remove them.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Hello, Hello again, and welcome back once more. This week,
I'd like to talk about something called purre vacation in
our podcast. So far, we've reviewed and looked at the rewarding, affirming,
and rewarding aspects of praising workers, colleagues, co workers doing great,
(00:28):
meaningful and valuable work. Now we invert, we look inside,
We invert the praising process. This compliment to praising is
purre vocation.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
It helps us identify areas that are negatively impacting performs,
at the same time building our credibility as leaders. Pur
Vocation it's about removing obstacles and barriers to hire perform,
both for the leader as well as the workers and colleagues.
(01:05):
Here she works with transformational leaders isolate one or two
harmful beliefs of behaviors they work so hard to eliminate
or remove them. Although you could say the act of
praising ensures for progression, with optimism and purvocation is frequently
(01:31):
one could say associated with faith traditions involves fasting as
a part of a spiritual practice. Fasting provides devotees with
an opportunity to turn away from the earthly and human
aspects of their day to day existence and reflects more
(01:51):
on the greater questions of the tenants of their faith.
Pur Vacation from a medical and health perspective, involves fasting
as a way of detoxifying the body from impurities and
toxins found in our environment and sometimes in the food weed.
(02:12):
In this podcast, we're going to talk about purification helping
leaders turn away from the day to day work, all
the stuff we have to consider the a greater question.
It's this reflection greater questions of leadership. But doing that
we detoxify leadership and purities that it could be limiting performance.
(02:39):
When lou when viewed in a large as your contexts
of transformational leadership, proivcation can put it to you will
help me accompanish three things. You'll never see leadership as
being a sole activity. You'll become genuinely curious. But the
(03:00):
ways leadership impacts those we work and with some trying
and we can work with others, we can work about
transforming our leadership. This will help you identify something that
doesn't support your purpose, promises, or priorities. These three accomplishments
(03:22):
change your behavior in ways that allow you to get
a more appropriate result. This week, we'll learn how to
purify our leadership as well as a leadership performance of others.
There's three key factors in the pure vacation process I
(03:44):
found and others are found to produce positive results. One
embrace pure vocation with curiosity over judgment. Why I'm curious,
why things were done, what they've done? Why you done?
What you've done too? Strive for new insights and discernments
(04:04):
what can I learn? Leaverag the one percent rule. The
purification process encourages leaders to become especially curious about the
aspects of their leadership, particularly things that no longer serve
them well. It's not just about finding fault and punishing yourself.
(04:29):
Judgment holds you back retards creative problem solving, while curiosity
is a healthy aspect of goal setting of seeking improvement.
In a similar fashion to what we discussed in the
praising principle, the prefew. The purification assessment is an excellent
(04:51):
tool for looking at how you view pur vacation on
a scale of want to ten, with one being I
don't agree in ten being strongly agree. Rate yourself on
the following praising dimensions. Number one, I challenge calmly held
(05:15):
beliefs and assumptions about growth and performance. Number Two, I
readily ask myself how I can improve what I do
and how I do. Three. I consistently look to people
outside my current organization to learn and grow from them. Four.
I'm comfortable articulating a connection between individual growth and departmental
(05:42):
or and organizational growth.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Five.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
I frequently start conversations about what great, what looks like,
and how to do it. Six I enjoy finding new
and better ways of serving my custom and also help
in my workforce. SIVEN, I frequently learned more from my
(06:07):
mistakes than I do from my successes. That's a nice
on and high as you've done previously. Which of the
SIVEN dimensions did you rate yourself the highest and why?
Which of the SIVEN poor vacation dimensions do you rate
yourself the lowest? And why? And of course the observations
(06:30):
are insight. What did you learn from your responses? Which
of these seven purivocations dimensions would you like to increase dramatically?
And of course it was said before, these forms of
self assessments are not a pass or fail right or wrong.
(06:54):
They're a conversation starter for you to determine how you view,
how you view purely and whether you wish to do
something to move view and your team forward. Here are
some ideas it will help you think about how you
start applying a purivacation process. Purifying with curiosity. One. Every
(07:21):
human being does what they do for a reason. We
don't know what the reason is most of the time.
Until we do, we can't make sense of the behaviors
that we see. This process requires curiosity as to what
we see and why, as well as getting rid of judgment.
(07:43):
Without curiosity, we can't look at confusing situations and earnestly
try and make sense of them. And with judgment, we're
too frequently putting people in be boxes and situations and
neat be boxes. Although it might seem experient and it's
(08:05):
really about generalizations and stereotypes, it's getting from a human
factors perspective. It's getting to the root of it, getting
to the base of it. Two, stop looking ask higher
quality questions. By changing the quality of the questions you
ask yourself as well that of others, the quality of
(08:28):
their answer really ramps up. For example, a higher quality
question is I have the greatest respect for Bill, but
I was extremely harsh my criticism of the work on
(08:50):
the summit group proposal, I wonder why I said what
I did in the team meeting. This a lower level
question is why did this say it's a stupid thing
in the team meeting. One comes from curiosity, the other
from judgment. Three, be nice to yourself when we use
(09:14):
the pure vacation principle. Talk to yourself about pure vacation
in the same way you would have a friend that
you really care about. If we recognize that there are
times for consolation and times for tough love, and that
most people have their own worst critics and judge themselves
so harshly. When that happens, the ability to ask higher
(09:39):
quality questions all but disappears. What we do we find
have done. There is a drill sergeant from hell that
wants nothing more than to assure your self destruction, then
you allow that person in your life. Secondly, purifying for
(10:05):
insight and discernment. First thing, light, not recommendation, Insight the
mumble ones. Don't take yourself so seriously although you we
want to prove and let out our purpose more fully,
we need to refrain from becoming fixated on our shortcomings.
(10:30):
The ability to see ourselves clearly is an incredibly important aspect.
Of our leadership. Your leadership, your credibility is important, needs
to be viewed so seriously, but so's ability to laugh
at yourself and your mistakes. When you laugh at yourself
and your mistakes, you give people the ability more crusely
(10:56):
at their own mistakes and take the corrective action that
they need to do to minimize them. Secondly, purification takes discipline.
Insight and discernments are derived from discipline and require continual practice.
When you follow an exercise program, the more you exercise,
(11:19):
the easier it becomes. The same. SAME's true for praising
and purification. The more you do more be build up
your muscle, get stronger and stronger, and you're taking an
inventory of your assets and liabilities. If you want to
become a more effective leader, teammate, or worker, know your
(11:42):
strengths and blind spots and know that they're accelerated with
the praising principle three, take a breath, slow down to
gain you insights and have greater discernment. You can't travel
through a process. It ramped up excessive spreeds and you
(12:05):
can't gain insight discernment. If you're multitasking, you need to
slow down at times. We're not saying permanently, but enough
to get your bearings in order to go faster. Make
sure you're going in the right direction. Four look for patterns.
(12:28):
With all of patterns for doing routine work, we may
drive to our workplace the same way, as well as
dressing get ready for work the same way. This is
a way of taking oh the mundane and making it
more more efficient. We have only so much mental fuel
(12:49):
in our days for making decisions and being as effective
as possible. The less centers your brain uses on mundane issues,
the more we have for the big stuff other patterns
affecting you and so many meetings. You don't have time
to eat, time to think, and you're ruminating at night
about your work and only sleeping four hours. Has your
(13:12):
exercise program suffered because of your anchor injury and in
turn your carrying more stress and anxiety? What patterns can
you see in yourself as well? Look out for it others.
Be discerning as to what's causing the power the pattern.
(13:32):
How can you help your co workers? How can you
help your team? It's to stand back, taking the helicopter view.
Finally purifying with the one percent rule. Aye first thing,
take one day at a time. The one percent rule
(13:53):
talks about getting better in anything we're doing, any endeavor,
the one percent daily results and one hundred percent improvement
in seventy two days. And what I'm talking about here
is the power of compound interest. So as you build
(14:15):
on your successes each day, you're accelerating to one hundred
percent destination with multiple creation versus addition. The idea it's
getting a fly wheel rolling and then it speeds up.
The idea of getting one percent is appealing to most
(14:35):
of the people I work with. Is to say it's
a workable way through finding one new idea, one new perspective,
or listening to a colleague a friend discuss what they
did to improve the customer, the team experience through any
means necessary. Transformational leaders look to get better by one
(14:59):
percent each day. What's the thing that you could do
now today to improve by one percent? Second thing? Focus
on progress. If you're a brain surgeon, I've just saw
a whole a hold in my head. I want you
to be perfect in your work. Please come to work rested.
(15:20):
Please don't have an argument with your partner before arriving
in my operating room. Today is the day to be
fairfect for all of you that are not brain surgeon.
The other ninety nine point nine five percent people listening
(15:40):
to the podcasts, progress is preferable to perfection. I've listened
to many, many roles and jobs in many different organizations,
and they tell me their work must be perfect. I
agree that if you're a nurseing, accountant, an engineer working
(16:03):
in the lady's airplane, I want to know that you're
continuing to make progress and you've done your work correctly.
But I never asked for perfection. It's not possible, nor
should you strive for it. Perfectionism leads to procrastination, making
progress leads to acceleration. The third thing is narrow your
(16:28):
focus and the promise is principle. We talked about a
number of priorities a leader can realistically have individually. I
found and others like me, the magic number to be three.
That's what the brain or brained. While majority of brains
can cope with, some can do with more. When you
(16:50):
narrow your focus to the three most critical things you're
committee to doing, the quality of your focus, the clarity
of thinking, quality of your results ramps up. When you
engage in the purification aspects of transformational leadership. Choose your priorities,
then drive them a mile your kilometer. If that works
(17:17):
for you, better drive them. You'll feel more successful when
they're cascaded through it. When you get these priorities and
you get them and it's about empowering everyone else bringing
them on the same. We could say hymnsheet. So that's
(17:37):
the three purifying aspects. Purifying with curiosity, purifying for insight
and discernment, and finally purifying with it one percent row
(17:58):
have fun this week looking that all the purifying aspects.
Next we will talk about saying no to others, will never.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Accepting no for an answer.

embrace pure vocation with curiosity over judgment. Why I'm curious,
why things were done, what they've done? Why you done?
