The LUCKEES
LUCKEES: Leaders of Unsual Capacity, Knowledge, Energy, Effort, & Skill
Effective leadership has been defined many different ways, but to people looking from the outside in the most common definition is luck. A leader is lucky when they are financially succesful, lucky when they have incredible people that work with and for them, lucky when their products launch successfully, lucky when they have freedom within their schedule to spend time how they choose, lucky when things just always seem to go their way. Perhaps it is luck some of the time, but its much more common that they attract financial success, incredible people, successful product launches, and freedom through disipline and hard work.
Its in this spirit that we chose to call the people that participate in LeaderFarm LUCKEES, because their commitment to increasing their Capacity, Knowledge, Energy, Effort, and Skill in order to become magnets for success.
LUCKEES are also awards that are given out each year at our annual conference. These awards are given to LUCKEES who have made signifianct progress and contributions within LeaderFarm and in their communities.
We create "Luck" by creating a force that grants no ground to luck. To be one of the LUCKEES is to see opportunity and pursue it with ever fabric of our being.
LUCKEES: Defined
Unusual: we don’t believe in average or ordinary, we believe that every person has the ability to become unusually successful through discipline, practice, and persistence. So we’re not looking for people with average capacity, knowledge, energy, effort, and/or skill – but the people that take what they’re given and try to push the boundaries in each of these categories.
Unusual Capacity: With the right leadership in place a diversity in interests allows us to cover more ground than we could by being tethered to one company or industry. People of Unusual Capacity are able to delegate effectively enough to allow multiple interests to occupy their time. There is no reason a highly proficient individual can’t lead different divisions, entities, or companies effectively – but it requires a capacity to appropriately divide objectives and address them accordingly.
Unusual Knowledge: Rather than leaning on expertise alone, it is the ability to connect a collection of passions to a set of skills that are seemingly unrelated.
Unusual Energy: Finding a way to be productive and energized constantly, manifesting an energy source that is within you to remain in motion. There are external impacts to energy such as diet and fitness, but this is predicated on the choice to have
Unusual Energy:This is what allows driven people to operate at top capacity for 13 or 15 hour days 6 or 7 days a week.
Unusual Effort: A refusal to acknowledge that there is a limit to the effort we can put into our lives. There is a choice to increase the level of effort we’re putting into every situation in order to get the most out of it.
Unusual Skill: Not striving to be good or even great, the possession of Unusual Skill is the product of the UC, UK, and the two UE’s. Talent matters and is often a compass towards where your attention should be placed – but talent doesn’t make anyone the best, it is focusing capacity, knowledge, energy and effort to grow far beyond the boundaries of talent. Unusual Skill most often manifests as collection of exceptional skills where (like knowledge) the level of excellence in each skill improves the other skills however disconnected these might be.
