from Huff Post.com 19 Mar 15 enhanced by Peter/CXO Wiz4biz

Using your Heart/Gut/Intuition. In our business culture, the metaphor of these is often associated with yielding, kindness – or perhaps weakness. Yet, these are strong & powerful, and should be your driving force of life. Your ability to lead well is hindered when there is an unbalanced connection with the heart/. Embracing a heart/intuition-centered enhances your ability to stop, go inward, & reflect on the course of action that you know is the right one, rather than succumbing to only the facts or external pressures. Business owners who genuinely lead with their heart and their head, are also more equipped to connect with the emotional needs of employees. They understand that people have the need to be valued, respected, listened to & involved. By acknowledging and honoring the human element, heart-centered leaders possess the wisdom & capacity to positively transform any organization. Remember that listening to your heart/intuition does not signify weakness. True power means listening to/from the heart and having the commitment & humility to clear all that stands in the way of making a decision. As the Jedi Yoda once said, “Do or do not. There is no try.” Stay true to a commitment to lead from the heart and you are sure to reap the rewards.
