True Leaders Are All In

 The most dramatic move in poker is the “all in” move where all of your chips are thrown into the pot. Let’s face it — even the most disciplined poker face will show signs of tension when the “all in” move is exercised. It is easy to understand why. It is do or die time. You are betting that your hand is superior (or that everyone else that is still “in the game” will go with your bluff) – and you put everything at risk.

Why Not Go All In?

As an entrepreneur we have a unique viewpoint in our business lives. The idea of all in is one we all have come to face at least once in our businesses. Our corporate world peers rarely ever reach this level of commitment – especially in their organizational lives where the game is much more about positioning, politics, and being opportunistic. The “finesse” game gets rewarded most – with savvy players carefully picking their wins and avoiding potential “black eyes.”

I am curious to know the things in your work life where you personally are “all in.” What products, projects, processes, or new strategic initiatives have the benefit of not just your full attention – but are being driven by your whole leadership presence. By “all in” – I mean you are fully committed to championing and leading the meaningful change that is needed for your business to truly thrive.

When we are “all in” – we gain the special powers that come from making a commitment. We are released from the anxiety of waiting and making small incremental gestures – and rewarded with a feeling of confidence for stepping forward. We also gain access to the additional resources that come our way as others will always gravitate to action, meaning, and leadership.

The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help that would never otherwise have occurred. A stream of events issues from the decision, raising unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. – W.H. Murray

Are you “all in”? It’s a great question. It’s not just about what we bring to a problem – because we do bring a lot of sincere effort. It’s more about what are you withholding. We often withhold the best part of ourselves – the passion that comes from personally committing to something that is truly worthy of our commitment – worthy of being all in.

Isn’t It Time You Go All In?
