MBL Minute: The Practice Of Mastery And Lincoln's Emotional Labor   Episode Notes   The Practice of Mastery   Every master has developed a strong emotional connection to the Vision of their desired result.  This is what creates the motivation to take action but it is the going practice of those actions that creates mastery.  We all aspire to mastery but the path is always long and sometimes rocky.  The master understands that the journey is the destination.  The achievement of goals is important but the key to mastery is not in the results obtained but rather in the process of achieving those results.    Lincoln's Emotional Labor   Abraham Lincoln often referred to givers as those with the courage to bringing forth the better angels of their nature.  Authentic leadership and emotional intelligence are developed by doing the emotional labor of moving through our fears as opposed to being controlled by them.  We all have challenging situations that leave us feeling tired or discouraged.  The following is a partial list on the many challenges Abraham Lincoln faced that required his emotional labor.  It is an example of how individuals and organizations can grow despite their challenges.     Thanks so much for listening!  If you like the show please subscribe to Master of Business Leadership and rate and review it wherever you get your podcasts.  It really does help new listeners discover the show.   iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/master-of-business-leadership-podcast/id1335503365 Stitcher https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/master-of-business-leadership?refid=stpr Libsyn http://masterofbusinessleadership.libsyn.com   MBL Inc. www.MasterofBusinessLeadership.com   Phil Johnson on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/philipjpjohnson   Music: https://www.bensound.com
