To be completely honest, I wanted to write something<br>useful related to AI tools we can use in our everyday tasks. But this week alone, I\u2019ve read at least<br>three articles about this by (take a guess\u2026) some of the most recognized staffing agencies out<br>there. It amazed me that the information was so similar in all of them to the point that if you tried to<br>fight for copyright, you wouldn\u2019t know who to sue first. To say the least, we are becoming boring,<br>uncreative, uninteresting leaders and mentors. So, read along and help me dive into the power of<br>uniqueness. Because being unique is a strong, often underrated quality that can help us shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rank-math-toc-block\" id=\"rank-math-toc\"><h2>Table of Contents<\/h2><nav><ul><li><a href=\"#be-yourself\">Be Yourself<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#outside-the-box\">Outside The Box<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#are-my-ideas-any-good\">Are my ideas any good?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#keep-it-positive\">Keep it Positive<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"be-yourself\">Be Yourself<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-dark-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a94bbaf48eddd7a38b269c8bc6b7cfa1 wp-block-paragraph\">Remember that phrase from Oscar Wilde that says \u201cbe yourself; everyone else is already taken\u201d?<br>In today&#8217;s global work market, the only thing we can try to achieve that will make us feel good<br>about ourselves without taking its outcome into consideration, is the fact that no matter what you<br>do, as long as you are putting your heart and soul into it, it shows who you really are. Your<br>knowledge, passion, and original thoughts are much more important and meaningful to show than<br>the little amount of success you will get by doing whatever is trending in an slightly upgraded<br>version. A brand-new idea taken into action is probably better than one that\u2019s been improved for<br>the millionth time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"outside-the-box\">Outside The Box<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-dark-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-dee2bb51b06991e43754079d9cf6187a wp-block-paragraph\">We usually say to our team members struggling with numbers or results to \u201cthink outside the box\u201d.<br>But we, as leaders, keep repeating that shallow, meaningless phrase as if it actually worked to<br>encourage them. Of course it doesn\u2019t. When leading and mentoring others, focus on who they are<br>so as to provide them with proper guidance. Research with them, push them to find those new<br>concepts by reading and learning, not only from you but from others. Having recurrent meetings to<br>share information and best practices strengthens our confidence and capability as team members,<br>and as individual professionals. Diversity shouldn&#8217;t be wishful thinking alone, but a tangible<br>component in the values we state as executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"are-my-ideas-any-good\">Are my ideas any good?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-dark-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-dbf4209d87a05dc71938f6e368f2ea44 wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s a valid question. Maybe you think you need to mimic others to succeed. But no, you don\u2019t<br>have to. Success is a journey that looks different for each one of us. Simply because success as a<br>concept is different for everyone, too. I talk about it in depth <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-text-hover-3-color\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.successjourney.biz\/es\/best-practices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here <\/a><\/mark>but my point is<br>that being somewhat rare is an advantage. Chances are we do not all want the exact same thing in<br>the exact same way. Let\u2019s take that as a sign of individuality, on the bright side of that word. Being<br>individual is not necessarily a bad thing. Quite the opposite, if you dismantle the idea of standing<br>out as something negative. There\u2019s no such thing as \u2018silly questions\u2019 or \u2018terrible ideas\u2018  if you are<br>pushing yourself to know more, learn, and collaborate with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"keep-it-positive\">Keep it Positive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-dark-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-32c2f957c2996459a5252c481414cbd9 wp-block-paragraph\">If as a team member, or a leader, you are facing challenges of any sort don\u2019t see them as \u2018no-can<br>do\u2019s,\u2019 but as opportunities to grow. If what you are doing feels too difficult, if you can\u2019t wrap your<br>head around it, or if you need more time to profit from it, that\u2019s fine. I believe in the value of<br>creating meaningful and heartfelt stuff as a powerful motivator for human beings. I doubt there are<br>too many people out there that would rather \u201ccopy and paste\u201d something they liked from another<br>person that having their own thoughts come to life. After all, most of us want to leave an imprint in<br>this lifetime. Right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-dark-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2bd5342a745835bb674726d98240dbae wp-block-paragraph\">For more insights, click <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-text-hover-3-color\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.successjourney.biz\/es\/insights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a><\/mark><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article took me longer than expected.
