Leading from Your SuperME: Purpose, Love, Gratitude
Sun Tzu in the Art of War taught the
world how to win. But how do we win not just efficiently, but authentically?
· How do we lead with strength — without
dominance?
· Influence others — without manipulation?
· Achieve results — without betraying ourselves?
That’s where the
SuperME comes in.
At the heart of the SuperME is a simple but profound framework:
Purpose, Love, and
Gratitude — PLG (from this book at https://asiatrainers.org/smubook)
1. Purpose — Know Why You’re Here
In Sun Tzu’s Dao (道), we saw that victory begins with clarity of
purpose.
But in the SuperME
framework, Purpose is personal. It's the “why” behind your every word, task,
and decision.
When you lead with
Purpose:
· You don’t need to convince others — your
conviction inspires them.
· You stop chasing approval — and start aligning
your actions.
· You become magnetic — because people sense
you’re not just performing, but living truthfully.
2. Love — Lead With Heart, Not Ego
Sun Tzu rarely used
the word “love” — but his teachings point to a leader who:
· Wins people over without force
· Cares for soldiers as his own children
· Values moral power more than brute strength
· Listening without interrupting
· Seeing people not just as roles, but as souls
· Giving feedback with dignity
· Creating safety even during change
3. Gratitude — Shift from Stress to Strength
· Gratitude is a force multiplier.
· It transforms frustration into fuel.
· It turns obstacles into opportunities.
· It reminds you that even in the worst of days —
there is still power in presence.
Sun Tzu understood morale. A grateful general builds an army that will go the extra mile — because they feel seen, appreciated, and valued.
