Persuasion Strategies of a Good Leader - The persuasion strategies of a good leader consist of the drive to succeed, preservation of the group, and attainment of a common goal. As a good leader, persuasion is vital to meet the group's goal or objective. A Culture of Discipline - A "culture of discipline" is a phrase used by Jim Collins (Good to Great) in his study of great companies. All of the great companies, those that far outperform others, have a culture of discipline. This does not mean that they spend their time disciplining people. When you have a culture of discipline you rarely need to discipline people. A culture of discipline is not about punishing people, but it is about control. It is about self control. Disciplined thinking leads to disciplined action. Employee Retention - How To Keep People Happy and Focused - Employee turnover impacts an organization in a variety of ways, most of which are negative. High turnover generates not only heavy tangible costs, but takes its toll on the current team members as well. So what can you do to reduce the cost of continually bringing in new people? Here are just a few reasons for high turnover and some strategies to correct. First of all, not all turnover is bad. Don't Shrink-RETHINK! - Now is the time to pull together and think creatively about our businesses. When times are easy, unfortunately, we often lose the edge to monitor performance, to question out-dated procedures and unnecessary expenses. Retaining Employees and Customers Is a Family Affair - "The more things change, the more things remain the same." As e-mail, voice mail, and technology allow people to conduct business without ever seeing each other, the competitive edge can very well be the re-creation of conversation- specifically conversation that allows people to feel a "family" connection. It's a connection that recalls the fact that commerce was traditionally an intimate affair. My great-grandfather started a shoe store, the first account Florsheim shoes ever had. Business Leadership Training: How To Lead Your Team Successfully By Exercising Guidance - Leader, manager, foreman, boss.... These titles (and others) describe people who are responsible for getting a job done by directing others. The key point to remember is more than one worker must be involved in the effort for the project to be completed correctly. Therefore, the leader must be able to successfully guide each participating individual through his or her part in the process. Often, the person in this leadership position has been recently promoted into it because of his or her proficiency at the task he or she is supervising. For example, a skilled, efficient carpenter who has provided quality work to clients and been an asset to the company is one day made Foreman. He will now supervise three other carpenters. Acting Out Facsimiles - America! -- Land of pride and plenty -- People rushing to nowhere -- Idle time beyond compare -- Ignoring others in despair -- Searching for some certainty. Why Coaching is the Way to Go in Team Management - When you hear the word "coach", what comes first into your mind? Do you picture a basketball team with a man/woman shouting out directions? Or perhaps a football team with a man/woman pacing to and fro and calling out the names of the players? Coaching is no longer reserved to sports teams; it is now one of the key concepts in leadership and management. Why is coaching popular? Coaching levels the playing field. Coaching is one of the six emotional leadership styles proposed by Daniel Goleman. Moreover, it is a behavior or role that leaders enforce in the context of situational leadership. Leadership Valentine - A Culture of Inclusion - This year, give your organization a Valentine. That's right - an organizational Valentine. Skip the hearts and flowers and give them a Valentine that will help them feel valued and engaged. Do this by making sure that your culture is inclusive, that the day-to-day practices of your organization truly include everyone. Your organization will be more innovative and more successful in the market if you do. An inclusive culture means more than just a diverse workforce; Prevent Medical Errors: Find Hidden Clues in Your Medical Tests and Procedures - "Look at this!" I said as I reviewed the copy of my husband's chart after his discharge from the hospital. " Here is a copy of your blood chemistry test results done a year ago. Your BUN (kidney function test) was slightly above normal then! Did the doctor ever tell you that it was high? Was it ever repeated?" I drive my husband crazy when I fire multiple questions at him before he can answer the first one. "No and no. I don't remember the doctor saying any results were abnormal or saying he needed to repeat a test," he replied. "I just don't understand why it wasn't repeated six months ago when your blood pressure suddenly increased or later when you turned that strange yellow color." "Egad! Here are the results of the Retinol test the doctor did a couple of months ago. 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. People want to know how to communicate more effectively, and why people don't always seem to hear when they do communicate. In those very same organizations people wish the leaders would communicate more often and/or more clearly. They often feel "in the dark" about decisions, plans and future direction. In defense of the leaders, most often they do communicate, but often not very effectively. In fact, by definition, if the followers are not clear about what they have read or heard, then the communication hasn't been effective. One of the areas where the gap is widest is in communicating decisions. 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. Why We Avoid Resistance - Princeton University's WordNet 2.1 defines resistance as the action of opposing something that you disapprove or disagree with. If you make a short list of things you like, relish or love, I doubt the word resistance will show up on your list. Resistance isn't something that most of us cherish or are drawn to - at least personally. True, some may enjoy observing resistance as a third party to it - which could be one explanation for boxing, professional wrestling and the success of the Jerry Springer Show - but few of us look for or enjoy resistance. Which is why we so often choose to avoid it. Here are seven major reasons why people tend to avoid resistance. We are taught to avoid it. 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? It's probably your friend that just seems to magically attract people. 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. She and her staff work long hours to help their clients as effectively as possible, always trying to make the best use of limited resources. While she acknowledges that hard work and scarce resources are the way of the non-profit world Elizabeth admits that she feels increasingly overwhelmed. She accepts as fact that she will work herself to burnout then leave the organization. Frank, a successful surgeon, is a popular, sought-after speaker at medical conferences around the world. He struggles to balance the challenges of his work with the demands of his family while trying to squeeze a little time for himself out of his tight schedule. Like Elizabeth, Frank has resigned himself to what he sees as the inevitable cost of his career. 7 Steps to Exceptional Virtual Team Communication - There's no doubt that a virtual team brings a multitude of benefits to organizations today; 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. According the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the word preneur is a derivative of the Old French, "entreprendre," and means to take. A preneur is one who organizes, manages, and takes the risks of owning a small business or enterprise. 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. Or maybe you think of people you work with (or have worked with) who always seem to be complaining about something. Their whining may be about little or personal things like, "Why can't we get better coffee?" or "why don't we have a dental plan?". Or maybe the whining is about bigger business issues like, "if marketing would just build a better plan, we'd all be better off," or "Why can't IT keep the e-mail running?" The truth is that while you may not voice your complaints in a sing-song voice, I'll bet you whine too. Most all of us do. 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. 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.
