Goodness includes the intentions and abilities that help us progress and succeed in work and life. Intentions include our hopes, wishes and dreams. Abilities include skills, strengths and expertise. We bring attention to goodness by focusing on any instances of success and progress.
We focus on goodness because engaging our goodness is the root cause of how we contribute, grow and enjoy the fruits of our efforts. The more we focus on our goodness the more these become possible. Focus on goodness helps people feel a sense of confidence and creativity. More options become more obvious.
We teach people how to respond to problems and disappointments with focus (instead) on success, progress and goodness. We spend no time discussing or debating what's wrong. We focus on intentions and abilities that can bring about more progress and success. People do better only when they become more conscious of their abilities and how they can engage their abilities in their best intentions.
This includes the spectrum of unwanted feelings that people blame for not engaging their best intentions and abilities. We help them discover how feelings are natural events and conditions like the weather, always coming and going. When they no longer hold themselves responsible for their feelings, they become more free to act on their best intentions whatever their feelings are, just as they go about life whatever the weather.
These strategies and awarenesses make it possible to practice and entirely goodness based approach to leadership.
