<p>The worst thing you can do as a leader, husband or parent is to try to direct someone head-on. It rarely works. Every human soul craves freedom, the freedom to self-select into whatever they give themselves to. You crush someone's spirit when you INSTRUCT, DIRECT or PRESCRIBE to them.</p><p>Think about the times you were forced to do something at school, at home, or at work. you complied, but you did not give your full mental and emotional faculties. You did it just to finish the task. In that mode, creativity and ingenuity stay locked up, and what comes out is far less than what you could have made.</p><p>The legendary leader does not control, he inspires. He leads by example, sparks enthusiasm, and waits with patience. He understands the danger of direct instruction and instead aligns the work with the other's natural inclinations, interests and passions.</p><p>To lead another is to be deeply creative. To take a human being seriously is to create the space where they can freely step into a shared vision.<br/></p>
At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
