I’m David Veech and this is Elevate your performance.
A few months ago, I stumbled onto a little article about numbers and numerology. As I was reading through what they said each of these numbers meant, I kept drawing connections with leadership. Weird, I know.
Through much of last year, I’ve been reflecting on balance in all things. This is one of the keys to lean thinking and making a workplace more productive. Everything naturally strives for balance or equilibrium. When things are out of balance, it creates stress on the system or on the human. We can feel it when we’re out of balance. Entrepreneurs and many other leaders often dedicate enormous energy to their work, sacrificing balance in the pursuit of success. But how do you get someone who really loves what they do to take a vacation?
So what does balance have to do with numbers? I started thinking about how certain numbers can illustrate balance. Think about just the numbers 1 through 9. If we use dots to represent numbers you’ll notice that odd numbers each have a center point with an equal number of dots on either side. With a little push, you can see that these look like scales that are perfectly balanced.
That made me dig a little deeper into those odd numbers and what numerologist say they mean. Keep in mind, I’m not an expert numerologist. I don’t even know how a number comes to be associated with a person. I’m looking for something that might be catchy enough to help me lead leaders to become more effective.
That’s all I have time for this morning. Over the next couple of days, I’ll share more insight into what I discovered and how I have been able to tie everything back to my 3 key insights for leaders - Love, Learn, and Let go.
Have a great day and I’ll see you tomorrow
