People want to be led.

What most people don't realize is that's why managing them fails.

This meditation will make people want to do what you want them to do,

Without forcing or manipulating them.

They will genuinely want to do it.

By endless meditation you will be an even greater leader in three simple steps that you can take even under a lot of pressure.

And before I tell you what these steps are,

Let us contemplate what makes one a great leader.

Listen.

Be present and go within.

Connect with your heart.

Breathe through your heart.

Instill your mind so when the answer comes,

You are ready for it.

Be patient and listen.

Observe.

Observe your thoughts.

Observe your feelings,

Emotions.

Allow emotions to flow.

Observe sensations in your body and allow yourself to imagine one great leader.

Maybe more than one.

At least one.

Maybe someone comes to your mind.

Try to figure out what makes a great leader.

Notice how many answers may come.

You may notice that whoever you picked,

Odds are they knew what they wanted.

They had a vision.

They were clear about what's the change they want to have.

And this is our first step.

Know what you want.

And how do you know what you want?

You ask your heart.

So ask your heart,

What do I want?

It's important that you think in terms of what you want and not what you don't want.

Be really clear on what you want.

Because how will you know if you don't listen?

And as you listen and receive the answer,

Be thankful for the answer that you received.

Whatever declarative you have right now,

It's perfect.

It's exactly what you need in the present moment.

And now,

A great leader,

When you imagine them,

Did they tell you what to do?

Did they make you,

Convince you,

Try to reason with you what you need to do?

Or you just felt like they speak directly to you and what you want.

That they speak your language.

Or maybe you observed their followers felt like their leader spoke their language.

Consider,

You are a great leader,

A great listener.

And they know what their followers want.

How do they know?

They listen.

And this is the second step.

Listen to what they want.

Ask them.

You don't need to pretend that you know.

You may know.

But ask,

Let them.

And imagine,

What would you ask them?

How would you ask them?

You can ask it in your imagination.

But always make sure,

You confirm it in reality.

So see yourself asking.

And listen for the answer.

And finally,

Great leaders are great storytellers.

Great leaders are great pattern recognition masters.

They are able to link the two together.

Link what you want to what they want.

So they become the one.

And this is the third step.

Link the two together.

Link what you want with what they want.

So they see,

What they want gets fulfilled by doing what you want.

It is as simple as that.

Know what you want.

Know what they want.

And link the two.

So stay still and practice listening.

Feel free to stay here as long as you like.

Whenever ready.

Be thankfully present and have it magical.
