Courageous Leadership

Image source: http://willowcreek.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Courageous-Leadership-new.jpg

In classes I teach on the subject of leadership, most business students, when asked if they are leaders, either keep their hands down or slowly, hesitantly raise them. When I ask them for their definition of a leader, I hear words such as charismatic, great communicator, bold, daring decisive, demanding, hard-driving. Then I ask what leaders do, and the responses I get are make decisions, manage crises, solve problems, get things done. Finally, when asked for names of leaders. They say Kennedy, Lincoln, and Roosevelt, Washington.

Leadership is looked upon as a larger-than-life activity, reserved for the chosen few. However, in todays world, everyone must become not only the leader of their own life, but the leader of others at various times and circumstances, effectively, efficiently, and with success.

We can no longer wait for the boss, the teacher, the president, the spouse or the friend to think, plan and decide events for us. As more people are searching for fulfillment, enrichment and meaning in their lives and work, we will have to take more responsibility, for others as well as ourselves.

Warren Bennis says we are having a crisis of leadership. It can be aid that the leadership crisis, while the most invisible of all the major problems we face, is also the urgent. Cynicism, perplexity of what-to-do, changing values and a loss of faith in those who lead is rampant, and growing. Unfortunately, almost everyone gleans their definition about leadership from high profile individual. For many looking outwardly for leadership, these can be disappointing times.

People need to ask Who is leading? Do we allow others to make all the decisions? Have we lost our spirit?

Leadership is desperately needed in every aspect of our society, states author Jeanine Just. Most organizations and institutions need to transform in order to stay alive, grow and prosper. For such transformation to take place, more leaders must come forth and take responsibility. This will take COURAGE.

Leadership is a mindset, a state of being. It is about becoming what you really are, rather than changing into something new. We all know that being who you are all the time is either frowned upon, dangerous or down right scary. To contribute the best of what we have to offer requires each of us to know, trust and reveal our inner self.

To change an organization, institution or society requires individuals within to change. I say all people need to get in touch with their inner core first. Discover who they are, what is important, what they are good at and where they enjoy spending their time and using their skills.

When clarity abounds, it becomes easier and productive for each person to lend themselves and offer their own brand of leadership, when needed.

Each person has a valuable contribution to make. Each person is a key link to the success of every organization. Whether large or small, there are no insignificant players. Buckminster Fuller said, There is no more room on planet earth for passengers we all must become part of the crew. Just comment, Each of us must start by taking a leadership role in our individual lives. Before we can be valuable to others, we must be true to ourselves.

Looking within is the first step. Courageous leaders know their values, what is most motivating to them. They develop a clear and compelling picture in their mind of what they want to do. They look to their personal strengths and areas of interest, and work toward their potential, not just their goals.

For those who like definitions, the following words would define courageous leaders who work with others:

Trustworthy, Honest, Listener, Positive, Empathetic, Focused, Sensitive, Open, Communicative, Sense of Humor, Intuitive, Mature, Respectful, Efeuestioner, Responsible, Delivers on Promises, Cherishes Diversity, Persuasive, Conceptualizes, Right Conduct, Accountable, Fun.

Courageous leaders go beyond the current designated leaders of the day. Besides holding positions of power and authority, they paint a complete picture of what their organization stands for and creates a common purpose. They focus on desired outcomes rather than constantly looking back at what went wrong. Courageous leaders create meaning by focusing on strinsic motivators such as dignity, community and caring. They honor people first, have a firm belief in decency and fairness, and teach people to liberate and lead themselves.

They ultimate in courageous leadership begins from a place of wanting to serve first. When you want to help others, develop people, build relationships and involve people, you create an environment that attracts the best from others.

Courageous leaders always ask, What are we trying to do? What needs to be done? They then get on with it, building a team environment. They make no little plans!

The diagram below best shows how courageous leadership germinates. It is an inside-out evolution. It s essence is performance. It is hard work. It aligns the needs of those within and outside producers and customers.

Free Diagnostic Information:

Engine analyzers come in varying sizes:

-Big box -Hand-held

An engine analyzer should be considered one of the essential tools for any type of drive ability diagnostics, not just intermittent. No other single piece of equipment can provide as much information about the basic function of the engine. The engine analyzer of today is typically hand-held, versus the big box of yesterday. Although there are some benefits to the hand-held such as portability; there are also draw backs, such as fewer features and smaller screens. To overcome this drawback, many hand-held engine analyzers can now display directly on a PC monitor for easier viewing and greater clarity.

Offer similar features:

-Starting and charging system tests -Ignition system analysis -Cylinder balance test -Relative compression test -Cylinder time variations

Big box or hand-held, most engine analyzers offer similar features that are helpful in diagnosing intermittent problems. Since many drive ability related problems are still related to basics, the engine analyzer is a fast and effective way to pin-point drive ability problems in a wide variety of areas.

Late Model Vehicles are complicated:

In the past, there were two common methods of dealing with intermittent problems. First, we could wait until the intermittent problems becomes consistent or at least repeatable. Then we could apply standard diagnostic techniques to solve the problem. Second, we could start at the front of the vehicle and begin changing parts until either the problem goes away or, at the very least, becomes less of a problem. The first solution seldom works because customers need there vehicles to be ready for the daily commutes, nor do they want to drive a vehicle with a known problem waiting for it to break. The second solution is an even bigger problem, as the customer will end up paying for parts that we most likely don't need. Or worse yet, the unneeded parts end up costing a customer way too much money, therefore a good, knowledgeable auto repair shop is needed.

Analysis of clutch failure

Image source: http://lh6.ggpht.com/_RgkPTNHweHw/S6gwKy9-blI/AAAAAAAAD1U/7ylXyf_XOkw/s800/DSCF1279.JPG

Here is some analysis on failure models in the process of using the clutch.

Skid
Clutch can affect a smooth start, transfer power and shift smoothly for the motorcycle and it is an important part to make the motorcycle safe, practical and comfortable.

There are many different reasons for this phenomenon:

1. Different material of the clutch friction plate. The wear-resisting performance for those high quality clutch kits are much better than those common clutch under the test of same load and usage time. Of course, the price of high quality clutch is also much higher than the common one. The motorcycle rider can choose high quality or common one according to their needs.

2. Motorcycle overloading will cause abnormal wear of the clutch. With the serious wear, the clutch will suffer skid soon, so it is better for the rider not to overload your lovely motorcycle.

3. Improper maintenance of engine.
3.1 The engine oil has not be changed for a long period, then the oil will have high viscosity and there will be iron scrap inside, which is the main reason for the wear and tear on the surface of clutch friction plate.
3.2 When the clutch control is loose, and the users dont adjust it in time, then the clutch will be always in the half clutch for a long time, which is a dangerous running condition.

Abnormal noise
Change of load or the moment of clutch engagement during the period of driving the motorcycle may cause abnormal noise.

There are several reasons:

1. The uneven abrasion between friction plate and steel plate will cause sharp sound at the moment of clutch engagement.

2. The contact surface of center bush and pressure plate is too dry because there is no oil on due to the oil viscosity, and then the friction plate will do dry friction and produce abnormal sound.

3. Locking mechanism or adjusting mechanism is loose in the process of using will cause the clutch lose dynamic balance. After a long period of usage, there will be abnormal sound between the parts.

The above three factors which cause clutch noise can be solved by daily maintenance, replacement or adjustment.

In addition to the above three reasons, if the flatness of friction plate is terribly bad or the thickness is uneven, then these will also cause abnormal noise. This requires clutch manufacturers be in strict accordance with the standard and control the height difference and flatness, in order to reduce clutch noise.

Friction plate burnout
The friction material fall off from the friction plate, that is friction plate burnout.

The main reasons are as follows:

1. the friction material doesnt bond firmly. Main phenomenon is that some friction material is left on the plate after burnout. This kind of situation is very rare, because friction plate manufacturer will do an overall test about the adhesive force before they leave the factory.

2. The friction plate cant carry too much load and then cause the friction burnout. In this situation, the friction material will fall off, charring on the surface and have a burning smell. This kind of phenomenon is caused by many factors, such as overload, poor quality of engine oil, poor friction materials and incorrect clutch operating mode, such as climbing with half clutch or speed up and gear shift when going up the slope.

Plate burnout have a large influence on driving safety, and will easily lead to major accidents, thus motorcycle drivers need to enhance their safety consciousness, use your motorcycle in a correct way and do regular and reasonable maintenance for your motorcycle.

Hope these will help you know more about your motorcycle.

Thanks for your time and attention.
