Steward Leadership Starts with You
Steward Leadership starts with leading oneself before leading others, balancing self-leadership and team leadership, and unleashing human potential holistically.
The WayMaker Code is a set of ten guiding principles designed to inspire and direct individuals towards a life of purpose, resilience, and impact. Rooted in the philosophy of the WayMaker Movement, these principles serve as a beacon, guiding us through the complexities of personal and professional life. Each element of the code is a commitment to an intentional, courageous, and meaningful way of living.
This principle emphasizes aligning our daily actions with our deepest values. It’s about striving for personal excellence and ensuring our actions have a meaningful impact. Living intentionally means making conscious choices that reflect who we are and who we aspire to be.
Curiosity drives us to explore the unknown, to ask questions, and to maintain an open mind. This tenet encourages us to embrace learning and discovery, to see the world through a lens of wonder and inquisitiveness.
Wisdom comes from a relentless pursuit of knowledge and insight. This aspect of the code advocates for a growth mindset, urging us to learn continuously from both our successes and failures.
Integrity lies at the heart of this principle. It’s about being forthright, admitting our mistakes, and ensuring honesty in every action and interaction. Upholding the truth builds trust and establishes a strong moral foundation.
Determination and tenacity are key to overcoming obstacles. This part of the code is about chasing our ambitions relentlessly, demonstrating unwavering resolve in the face of challenges.
Courage is about facing challenges head-on and embracing discomfort. This principle encourages us to step beyond our comfort zones, grow stronger, and make bravery a conscious choice.
Sisu is about showing resilience in adversity. It’s a commitment to transform challenges into opportunities for growth, leading by example, and bouncing back stronger from setbacks.
Unity and compassion are vital for collective progress. This principle emphasizes understanding and collaboration, recognizing that our strength and progress are amplified when we work together.
Freedom is a precious right that must be actively safeguarded. This part of the code is a call to take responsibility for protecting liberty and working towards a world where freedom thrives.
Our actions should resonate beyond the present moment. Building a legacy is about creating lasting, positive impact, investing our efforts in initiatives that will endure and inspire future generations.
The WayMaker Code offers a robust framework for living a life that is not only fulfilling for the individual but also contributes positively to society. By internalizing and practicing these principles, we can embark on a transformative journey, shaping our lives and the world around us in profound ways. The WayMaker Code isn’t just a set of guidelines; it’s a commitment to a way of life that fosters growth, resilience, and a lasting impact.
Until next time, Stay Curious, Be Relentless & Forge Forward,
