If you’re a tennis fan, you’ll know by now that yesterday Roger Federer won his 15th Grand Slam title, and became the #1 player in the world again. When you see him playing you get impressed by how “natural” the strokes are for him and the flow of his game. I’m 100 percent sure Roger Federer knows exactly why he’s playing tennis, and he’s been preparing all his life to moments like the one he lived yesterday.
We all know that Federer, like all top players in every sport, is the consequence of perseverance and clear goals in their minds. Is he a human being? I bet he is, he’s not a machine. He’s totally connected with his inner self. And the wonderful thing about it to me, is that he is the clear proof that we can achieve all that we set in our minds with work, plans and goals. It’s focus and the will to achieve, to persevere.
I’m saying, set your goals, know exactly why do you want those goals (have a clear purpose to achieve them), build plan to achieve them and then start. Yes, move ahead.
Before Federer, you have so many examples in the world of tennis: Agassi, Sampras, Becker, Graf, Selles, Connors, McEnroe, Bjork, Navratilova, Laver, Ashe, Lendl, and so many others. If you move out of the tennis world, you can go behind the lives of every great athlete and you will find a lot of sacrifice, huge amounts of work, and undeniable clear and specific goals. Great leaders are no exception.
Don’t you see it? Every time we are witnesses of great achievements, we are in front of a life of great commitment and total dedication to one purpose.
To me, the Take Home lessons from great achievers:
1. Have clear goals in your mind
2. Have plans to achieve them.
3. Work according to your plans and Never ever give up.
4. Keep moving, don’t stop.
5. Be Generous… share. Be kind.

Invaluable lessons learned from the short presentation.
There is a tool called GA (Gap analysis) with which you can understand your present position and set goals for future. Then all left is for you to fill the gap. I learn every skill the ‘GA’ way, I determine where I am toady, why I want this skill, what’s the ROI, I goto future and write myself a mail describing all the benefits I’ve got because of learning this skill. This gives me clarity about my goal & After doing all this stupid stuff, I am motivated enough to get it done & enjoy the process!
First of all, I want to thank you for your comments. Every post I write has to do with my vision of leadership, which of course is just parcial. But I have to say that I keep myself reading, talking and searching so I can share with you the most up to date information that I have about it.
