Give the People What They Need - The single most important factor in building and maintaining strong relationships is the frequency with which complements flow between the parties concerned. In fact, I have heard it said that one must complement someone five times more than he criticizes to build a strong relationship and keep it strong. Regrettably, I cannot say with scientific certainty whether the "complement ratio" is, in fact, five-to-one. Nevertheless, I believe this is an irrefutable natural law that works no matter the nature of the relationship, personal or professional. Your success in any relationship will be determined by your willingness to give complements, to help people see the good in themselves. Tough Times Demand Resilient Leaders - The stock market gyrates with unpredictable and heartburning results. Icons of solid companies become straw figures before balance sheets. Children are abducted from their front yards and networks of terrorists spiral throughout the world. Patience Not Panic: Survive and Thrive Through Economic Turbulence - From 28,000 feet, snow still spots parts of Michigan, Illinois and other states further West. The earth looks brown and barren, dark and ugly from this vantage point. But I know that if I could walk the fields and wait patiently, I'd see signs of new growth inching out of hardened earth. I'd eventually find dead-looking tree limbs swelling with rising sap, pushing buds into blossom under the warming sun. But what if I opted NOT to be patient? What if I panicked, burned the dead-looking trees, cut off limbs, and retreated in disgust within my cocoon? Spring might NEVER come because my shortsighted actions jeopardized the natural course of events. That's what has happened with the stock market and many of our companies. How Chief Executives Can Improve Their Performance with Personal Reflection - Wise experienced leaders from all walks of life tell me that personal reflection is one their most valuable tools for remaining effective and ahead of the game. When I seek to pass this advice on to my clients, I often get this question "How does one effectively reflect?" Reflection is the point of maximum learning from one's experiences. Whilst experience is learning, reflection about the experience provides even more learning. To maximise the learning opportunity from reflection, create a simple process that enables you to think clearly and record your reflections. Here are some tips you can adapt to suit yourself. 1. Entelechy Speaks to Marshall Goldsmith about Coaching - I've had the pleasure and honor to meet some of the world's greatest leaders and leadership gurus, from Sir Richard Branson, General Tommy Franks, and Captain Mike Abrashoff to Dr. Warren Bennis, Dr. Henry Mintzberg, and Tom Peters. And I get paid to do it! Through our work with Linkage Inc., we help support their broadcasts of these famous people by designing and developing participant and facilitator guides that many clients use to turn a 90-minute presentation into a true learning and growth opportunity. I recently had the opportunity to meet with Marshall Goldsmith, world authority in helping successful leaders get even better by achieving positive change in behavior: for themselves, their people, and their teams. How to Sell Affiliate Products and Make a Profit? - Affiliate marketing was there even before internet came into the picture. It was not invented by netpreneurs. That's what they would like us to believe but they would be telling the truth when they say that affiliate marketing took off like never before with the coming of the internet. In the beginning it was only homemakers wanting to make some extra money who went into this business. But, the success of affiliate marketing has been such that professionals like doctors, lawyers etc. A Great Manager is a Great Communicator - Who is a great manager? Well, this question can have many answers but anyone running a management training program or management training course will tell you that - A great manager is a great communicator. This does not mean however, that all the other skills that a manager possesses are redundant. That is not what it means. Differences between Management and Leadership - 'Management and leadership', usually these words are generally heard together. Are they interconnected? Are there any differences between them? This is a discussion that has been going on for some time and will be around for some time to come. It is a common topic for discussion in various management training programs and management training courses. The fact is that you cannot escape this topic if you are attending any type of management training program. Top 5 Tips of the Most Successful Sales People - Learning from others experiences and mistakes is always a good idea. And for a sales person what better way to learn than from some of the most successful sales people. Some sales training and sales coaching classes bring in successful people to give a talk to the new batch of sales people. 10 Steps To Success In Direct Sales - Every year thousands of men and women across America sign on with direct selling firm-Tupperware, Amway, or a cosmetic company-hoping to make money enough for new draperies, a new davenport, or some new clothes. They sell a little merchandise to a few relatives and close friends. Then they are through. They quit before they give themselves a chance to learn the basics of success in sales. "I am simply not a born salesperson," they often say. No one is born a salesperson, any more than one is born a doctor or born a lawyer. Sales is a profession. To be successful in any profession one must learn not only the basic techniques, but also how to apply those techniques. Success in sales makes use of all the abilities one is born with, plus all those acquired through education and experience. How Emotional Intelligence Creates Effective Leaders - Research indicates that Emotional Intelligence (E.I.) - how we handle ourselves and our relationships - can determine success more than I.Q. In fact, E.I. may determine as much as 80% of a person's life success. Cognitive ability or what we call I.Q. is only about 20%. Quality leadership training is a combination of E.I. and cognitive ability. More specifically, Daniel Goleman (along with two E.I. researchers: Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee) explains the role of E.I. in leadership in Primal Leadership, Realizing the Power of Emotional Intelligence (2002). How to Access the Power of Trust and Respect in the Workplace - People naturally include trust and respect in their list of important values. Yet so often, at all levels, people complain that they are missing. Every human is a sovereign entity and is owned by nobody. Nothing but force can change that. Therefore people will choose to follow only those whom they trust and respect. Trust and Respect are earned by the consistent correct practice of value-based behaviour, including: - Treating all others as if they would wish to be treated. Being the behaviour they seek from others. Listening to what others have to say. Honouring others right to an opinion. How to Bust Bureaucracy - "Bureaucracy - any administration where action is impeded by unnecessary procedures" - Collins Concise English Dictionary In your own organisation, do you ever think "Why are we doing this?" or "Why aren't things moving as planned or desired? Do you notice people becoming more difficult to deal with? Do you sense a rising level of frustration? Has your workplace lost its shine? Perhaps it's becoming or already is bureaucratic. Often unnoticed in an organisation's growth is a tendency towards bureaucracy. Are You Ready For Leadership? - Let's get straight to the point! I've taken the gloves off and we're going to play it like it is. If you want to be a "LEADER" in your current MLM or company then you must to regurgitate and puke out the "junk" in your life! Huh? Now, stay with me....and read on... Let's get straight to the point! I've taken the gloves off and we're going to play it like it is. If you want to be a "LEADER" in your current MLM or company then you must to regurgitate and puke out the "junk" in your life! Huh? Now, stay with me....and read on... You must re-program your thinking if you want to be a leader. Why We Don't Hire Effectively - Last time we talked about how Jane and Bob interview, whether they're interviewing for rising stars in the company or just good, solid citizens for particular positions. Mentor or Coach? - The context of executive coaching and mentoring in this article refers to their application from an organisational perspective, where coaching or mentoring is being used to develop middle to senior managers to a higher level of performance. The organisation may be a commercial entity or government department. A professional Executive Coach is usually hired from outside the organisation, while a Mentor is usually an internal employee. In discussions with prospective clients Coaches often find the terms "Mentor" and "Coach" used interchangeably. Although both refer to a person who is responsible for the professional development of another individual, they are quite different in scope and application. The danger is that organisations unaware of the difference may be applying one, when the other is clearly more appropriate. Characteristics of the Best and Brightest - We've been talking recently about how Jane and Bob manage teams. They've been managing so well that now it's time to hire more people. Jane and Bob need to think about how to hire to ensure the success of the company. LOOK AT THE CURRENT EMPLOYEES A big step in hiring successfully is to assess your current staff. Who are your rising stars who are already working for you? What common characteristics do they share? Is Leadership Mentoring Actually Effective? - I love watching the show "American Idol". It is amazing to see such an incredible transformation from initial audition, to the finals show where a winner is declared. So how do these average people make this amazing transformation? Simple, they are mentored by several experts in a short period of time. Viewers do not really see all the activity that takes place behind the scenes, between each show. You hear about how demanding the entire process is for the contestants, but the show really never describes this process. We just see beautiful people get on stage and sing better and better each week. Motivating Others - Last time we saw how Jane and Bob work on communication, especially around problems, and that they are very clear when asking for what they need. Sometimes, they find that asking isn't enough; they have to motivate their staff and team members. LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR STRENGTHS, JIMâ€¦. Jane and Bob motivate their direct reports by focusing on their strengths, rather than weaknesses. People succeed when their tasks and goals build on their strengths, and they want to be and feel successful. Jane and Bob work around their direct reports' weaknesses by providing peer coaching and pairing with other people who are strong in their weak areas. Leadership for Project Managers - Leadership In the first half of the 20th century there was a belief that Scientific Management was the new way forward. Scientific Management was the herald of a new era, removing the need for skilled craftsmen, for example on Henry Ford's production lines, and making the factory owners richer. The principle was simple; reduce complicated tasks to a series of simple tasks, each task being performed by a different person. People were treated as machines and doomed to boring, repetitive tasks. But with social changes and world wars, people decided that they wanted to be treated as such, and not as spare parts for a machine, and they insisted on being given rewarding and interesting work.
