Aloha mai kākou

  • >>Both Book and Practice

    “Every single day, somewhere in the world, Aloha comes to life. As it lives and breathes within us, it defines the epitome of sincere, gracious, and intuitively perfect customer service given from one person to another.”

    This genuine connection is the Aloha Spirit Hawai‘i is known for.

    Now imagine if the customer is an employee, and if the customer service provider is their manager, one who continually shares his or her aloha spirit in the coaching and mentorship they offer. This possibility, this liberating reinvention, is one that managers everywhere can and must believe in, demonstrate and sustain if we are to truly thrive at work. Managing with Aloha helps managers and leaders do just that; grow in their belief and intention, and make worthwhile, meaningful work our reality.

Kūlia i ka nu‘u and the Qualities of a Leader

When I read this quote by Peter Drucker this morning, I thought of our own efforts to understand and live the value of Kūlia i ka nu‘u this month:

“Leadership is the lifting of a man’s vision to higher sights, the raising of a man’s performance to a higher standard, the building of a man’s personality beyond its normal limitations.”

“Kūlia i ka nu‘u.” Literally intended to mean “strive to the highest summit” in the words of Hawaii’s Queen Kapi‘olani.

Sidebar: for more thoughts on the qualities of leadership, you may also want to visit blog Synergy this weekend. Steve Sherlock has a post up called, Genius or Leader? which may stimulate more thoughts for you as it did for me (I’ve commented there for him.)
