Putting Out Fires-Stop, Drop, and Role - I've worked with well-meaning, highly-principled leaders for years. When the topic of coaching and developing their employees comes up I often hear that they know coaching is important, they want to coach more, but they don't have time because they are too busy "putting out fires". As children we learn that if we are ever in a fire, and our clothing catches on fire, we should "stop, drop and roll." By dropping to the floor and rolling around we snuff out the flames and solve the immediate problem. The more I hear the phrase "putting out fires" from managers and leaders, the more I think this simple firefighting advice applies to leaders too. Communicating Decisions - Seven Things to Share - Leaders know that communication is one of their key roles. In fact whenever I have worked with a leadership team or group the subject of communication always comes up. One Attribute Will Decide Your Network Marketing Fate - Ever wonder why the big-hitters always have tons of prospects and how the prospects are just attracted to them? Well they have one attribute that you don't. Learn how to develop that attribute and you will prosper. Becoming a leader is simply vital to your success in network marketing. People join leaders plain and simple. If you're not a leader then starting today, you are. People don't join companies or comp plans, they join people and they join leaders of network marketing companies. This may sound preachy but it's really true. Think about when you go out with your friends, who is the one leading the pack? 7 Steps to Exceptional Virtual Team Communication - There's no doubt that a virtual team brings a multitude of benefits to organizations today; Leadership: Take Time to Energize - Elizabeth is the executive director of a large non-profit organization that provides wide-ranging services to people in need. Do You Have What It Takes To Become A Preneur? - Becoming an entrepreneur is not for everyone. Besides the wonderful benefits of working for yourself, setting your own hours, and the ability to choose when and where you work, there are also some challenges. Sure, it's nice not to have to report to your old boss anymore, though your new inner boss could be a lot tougher, and you may find that your new inner boss doesn't have a clue about time management, budgeting, and niche marketing. Let Go of My Ego? - I have studied literature in leadership and spirituality and have found a common thread. The common thread is this: if you want to be successful and fulfilled you need to keep your ego in check. The ego is that part of us that is always asking: "But what about me?" or saying "Look at me!" The lesson I've found in these fields of study and in my own life is that when we focus on our ego needs we can, at best, create a temporary success. Often our ego gets in the way, creating pain and suffering. If we want to build a good life, a good company, or a good relationship, we need to take the focus off our individual need to win, to be right, or to receive the glory. Beyond Either/Or Thinking - We can do Project A or Project B. Do you want more time or more money? You can have a great marriage and average career or average marriage and great career. I've got yellow or red, which do you want? Win or lose. Yes or no. The world is black or white. You can have this or that. Which do you prefer? We must choose. All of the statements and questions above are examples of either/or thinking. All of them pre-suppose that we live in a world bounded by the choice of either this or that - one or the other. These statements are founded on the belief that our world is limited. All of these choices are fundamentally rooted in the "lack mentality." I believe there is another option. This option will give you more choices; Seven Ways to Get From Whining to Winning - Maybe your first thought when you think of a whiner is little kids you sometimes see in a shopping mall or some other public place whining because they aren't getting their way. Protect Your Attitude - An important key to high productivity and effective leadership, not to mention sales and marketing success, is to have and maintain a positive attitude. Nothing else will have a greater effect on you than your attitude. Remember the saying, "You Attitude Determines Your Altitude"? It's true. Having a negative attitude or even a neutral, apathetic one will undermine and sabotage your efforts. There is nothing more frustrating than putting in lots of effort and getting no results. When you have a less then positive attitude it becomes difficult (if not impossible) to be the kind of person others want to do business with. You know how, when you REALLY need to make a sale, it's almost impossible? Or when you REALLY need to be persuasive, the other person just won't listen? Uncovering Soul in the Workplace - The San Francisco Chronicle once reported "soul is in". In a headline calling it "the buzzword of the '90s" a front-page story reported that some 322 citations for the word appear in the current edition of Books in Print. That's nearly four times the number in 1990. Winning the Talent War In Turbulent Times - The reinsurance industry is not immune to the influence of our current economic slowdown. The pace of change, the dot.com disappearances, and the flushing sound heard on Wall Street throw many organizations into knee-jerk reactions. From consolidations, mergers, and acquisitions to re-engineering profit centers, creating new product lines and calming a variety of stakeholders, managers are faced with turbulent situations. Responding to such pressures requires both a level head as well as the realization that it's still true that the business of building a business-whether new or old economy-still requires sound management, good marketing, and most importantly, good people. Jettisoning employees in financial tough times can very well result in losing industrious producers, top talent, longtime workers, and top managers. Such short-sightedness can be costly on many fronts. The cost of recruiting talented workers typically runs 70-200% of their annual salaries. Stakeholder Engagement - How to be more successful by creatively engaging your stakeholders - Complexity. Change. Uncertainty. These are the "givens" in your world. Yet, one simple "rule of business" remains constant. Your organization's ability to execute is the ultimate determinant of your success. And, when it comes to effective execution you just can't do it in a vacuum. You must create stakeholder-based innovations, strategies, systems and processes, and metrics if you want to really execute. You need to become an OUTERPRISE. What is an OUTERPRISE? Simply stated... your enterprise alone is no longer enough. Superior execution demands a new way of thinking - one that takes an "outside in" approach. We call this the Outerprise. You need to invite your customers, suppliers and other key stakeholders into your organization, integrating them into your team, and enabling them to have a real impact on your business. Lessons in Leadership: What NOT to Do from A Canoe! - When it comes to fishing, my husband takes the lead. But his lack of leadership ability in a recent canoe trip on the Boundary Waters in Northern Minnesota offered wonderful lessons on how leaders can unknowingly screw up. (1) Assign responsibility without authority. Bill insisted that in order to cast his fishing line, he needed to be in the back of the canoe. Pride Without Humility - America! Land of opportunity! ---- Money is our hidden treasure ---- Wealth becomes the standard measure ---- As we seek our fleeting pleasures ----Pride without humility. These are some lyrics to a 39-line satire I wrote as a song: 'AMERICA! SEARCHING FOR REALITY!' I now convert the negative lines of the song into positive thoughts. Pride won't admit I might be wrong,... or that I might have a problem,... or that there might be something better I could be doing in my marriage,â€¦ or that I don't have the answers that others think I have. Do You Know Your Self Worth? - In order to achieve anything in life, it is important that you know your self worth. Knowing your self worth means that you know that you deserve to be treated a certain way; Healing Your Workplace - You can heal your workplace. Symptoms of workplaces needing healing include poor service, unresolved conflict, complaining, blaming , confusion, defensiveness, excessive stress, hurtful behaviors, inability to communicate openly and honestly, lack of trust, and apathy. If your workplace exhibits any of these symptoms you can help to heal it. The cause of all of these symptoms is fear. This includes fear of loss of job, fear of confrontation, fear of being wrong, fear of being criticized, and fear of losing one's financial security. When a Leader Knows to Say, 'No' - On November 2, Whole Foods Market CEO, John Mackey, sent a letter to all employees announcing that the salary cap policy on executive compensation would change. He said "No" to their unprecedented policy of capping salaries at 14 times the average pay of Whole Food employees. (A typical FORTUNE 500 company pays its executives at least 150 times the average pay of employees. How To Be An Effective Leader In The Workplace - Part One - This article is the first of a series on what true leadership is at the core, and will focus on effective leadership in the workplace. Leaders in the workplace are generally looked up to, to lead, to motivate, to provide mission and vision. That's a given. At every level of leadership, from managers to CEO, leaders' responsibilities go beyond setting work direction and financial goals. I have discovered , after 20 years of working in the corporate advertising industry, and having worked with many leaders, that the key to true leadership is in the art of influence and that begins with the heart of a leader. It becomes even more critical when you get to the top, you need to exercise a great deal of skills to manage your team leaders. Seven Reasons Why Goals Matter - Joanna was a great employee. She cared about her work. She worked hard. And she really wanted to succeed. But after a couple years of hard work and long hours, she felt like she was just spinning her wheels because she wasn't making the progress - personally or professionally - that she had hoped she would by now. She talked to Tom, a person she considered a friend and mentor, and shared her feelings. Tom asked her about her goals.
