  • Team Leadership - The Power of Team Leadership in Business - Leaders are often metaphorically compared to eagles. Rightfully so; because like eagles leaders posses a keen since of vision and have a tremendous strength of character. However, the misnomer is when leaders assume they should be found alone like most eagles. The sighting of a noble leader may be rare;
  • The Truth About Great Teachers and Leaders - "If he is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind." Kahlil Gibran All of us are sometimes in the role of a teacher or leader. We also are in the role of student or learner at different times. Usually the better the student a person is, the better teacher and leader he or she can become. As teachers, we frequently will emphasize those lessons we want or need to know.
  • Secrets Of Proactive Leadership - 1. Proactive leaders are cautious without becoming paralyzed by the potential downside of action. They pursue their goals continuously but incrementally, testing/evaluating progress toward the goal. This approach assures movement toward the goal without exposing the organization to unnecessary and avoidable jeopardy. They don't play it safe but do play it cautiously. 2. Proactive leaders focus most of their time and energy on organizational stability and goal attainment. They minimize time and energy absorbed by worrying about unlikely contingencies and maintaining the status quo. 3. Proactive leaders make decisions and take action thoughtfully but quickly. They don't delay or postpone decisions or actions, try to avoid or defer doing what needs done, and they don't hesitate or proceed reluctantly.
  • Courageous Leadership - 5 Steps to Survive Uncertain Times - In this era of intense competition, rapid change, and overwhelming complexity it can be a dog eat dog world. It is the survival of the fittest. Simply put, you either come correct or stay at home! What do you do when you feel like you can't run with the "big dogs;" and staying on the porch is not an option? The 5 steps to courageous leadership can provide you with strategies that give you the confidence you need to lead in uncertain times. Step 1 Do Not Focus On Problems Courageous leaders understand that focusing on the problems only breeds negative thoughts. Negative thoughts interrupt the creative forces of the brain. Turning lemons into lemonade may be cliché; but it is still practical. Problems are nothing more than brilliantly disguised opportunities. This world exists in delicate balance;
  • From Success to Significance: How to Develop Your Business Strategy by Defining Your Core Essence - In your business and in your life, intentional growth takes effort and focus. Sure, you may have a so-called business plan or even personal goals. You may even have them in writing.
  • The Top 10 Strategies for Boosting Productivity - Time is a very precious and costly commodity that many of us take for granted. Few people will readily admit that large parts of our working day are wasted through countless interruptions, procrastination, and clutter.
  • The Spiritual Practices of the Ninja - We know little about the origins of the Ninja, the 'children of darkness' - mysterious shadow-warriors who maintained their eerie mist-shrouded mountain secrecy in the Iga and Koga Provinces of Japan from around 900 AD, practicing the arts of stealth and invisibility. Legends, however, tell of the Ninja warrior's supposed descent from tengu, savage demons that were half man half crow and were able to bend the laws of nature and control the human mind.
  • Tips For Developing Your Prospecting Skills - Are your prospecting skills not up to par? Do you keep wondering why you are always getting rejected? Is it your business? Is it your products? Or is it you?
  • Create Deliberate Relationships - "Bodacious" means to be bold, outstanding, and remarkable. Take those attributes to work and you're on your way to building a fulfilling, bodacious career. Does having a bodacious career sound exciting to you? It is! After starting as an $8 an hour customer service rep, I rose through the ranks of AOL, accepting four promotions and surviving over six layoffs to become the head of corporate training for 12,000 employees.
  • How to Be the Head and not the Tail - You know how it is, you are at work, you get frustrated because things don't seem to be happening the way they're supposed to be. You see people milling around but nothing gets accomplished. And in the daily hustle and bustle, do you feel that your goals remain just that - goals.
  • Leadership Exposed: Things You Thought You Knew About Leadership - Much has been written about leadership: rules, pointers, styles, and biographies of inspiring leaders throughout world history.
  • Successful Leadership - Beware The Silver Bullets - We are all tempted to keep looking for that one person, that one application, that one solution, that one customer that will make all the bad things go away and breathe new life into whatever we've been stuck with. The Silver Bullet - the epiphany - the stroke of lightning that cures all ills. Billions of dollars are spent every year on hope - and Silver Bullets - with little if any positive effect. A story: I was meeting with the Executive Vice President of a large multi business company. They had a business unit in Florida with continuing labor problems.
  • The Special Sauce of Leadership - To say that extraordinary effort has been given to defining the characteristics of the ideal leader would be an extraordinary understatement. Researchers have spent literally countless hours trying to define this mythical individual. Any quality bookstore has an aisle or more dedicated to the subject of leadership. There are individuals that make their bones writing and lecturing on nothing but leadership. Everyone wants to know what can take them from individual contributor to shot caller. What is the trait that separates the ordinary leader from legendary one? What is that thing that turns an ordinary hamburger into a Big Mac? What is the special sauce? It's empathy. How do I know this is true?
  • Every Women Entrepreneur Should Watch American Idol! - I almost can't believe I'm recommending this! Now let me tell you why. Because the "America Idol" TV show is great learning about what it takes to stand out in the marketplace. That's what all these singers are trying to do. I've never intended to watch the show but when I was channel surfing during a commercial break of another show I was enjoying, I was pulled in. There they were; this beautiful group of young guys and gals performing. They were performing their hearts out and then they would get critiqued. That's when it hit me. The judges were evaluating these performers much like customers assess entrepreneurs in the marketplace.
  • Wanted: A Dictionary-Perfect Leader - Answers are often before our very eyes or in front of our noses - particularly if we read the American Heritage Dictionary! Explore with me how some of the multitude of definitions for the word "leader" actually serve as a performance standard for leadership. Leaving behind the standard definition of "one who leads or guides", consider the second definition: "one who has power or influence". Have you known people in a leadership role who seem unable to influence the people around them? The ability to make connections, to speak clearly and to frame information so everyone hears a "what's it in for me" message are essential for influence.
  • The Psychology Of Leadership - Understanding The Influence Of Inspirational Leaders (part 3) - You have gone through the 8 Assents of Inspirational Leadership, now the final step to cultivating an inspired and dedicated workforce is to build the THE 5 PILLARS OF A TRANSFORMATIONAL ENVIRONMENT The 5 pillars are the foundations that convert a team to an organization transforming powerhouse. When leaders become aware of their work environment and the affects they have on it, when they learn the Psychology of groups and how it applies to the actions, reactions and emotions of teams and departments, then the foundation for the pillars is created. Inspiration of individuals will make a difference, but inspiration of teams and of the perceptions of work those teams have, define a transformational leader and become apparent in organizational effectiveness and results.
  • How To Be An Effective Leader Using Law Of Attraction - Ever since the movie, The Secret was shown to the world, there is a new level of consciousness in many people about the law of attraction. The world is suddenly awakened and it brings forth a new thinking that encourages positivity in thoughts and forces people to reflect on how much of what has happened in their lives in the past is determined by what and how they had thought. Imagine, if you take this forward, how much you can influence your life and destiny and achieve all that you desire. Have you wandered how you can apply this law of attraction to your job and career. Especially if you are leading a team, just knowing how you can direct your thoughts can mean great things for yourself and for your staff. The more you understand it, the better off you are going to be.
  • Trust Withheld; Micromanagement Unveiled - Micromanagement and lack of trust are cries often heard in today's business arenas.
  • Coaching Techniques for Managers - Not all management training programs and management training courses offer coaching techniques for manager in their courses. First of all, why do managers need to learn coaching techniques? After all managers are given management training, do they also have to be given training to be a life coach? To understand this, we have to know what a coach does. Traditionally coaching was something that was done to train sportspersons. Now, the definition has changed dramatically. Coaching is unlocking the potential of a person to maximize performance. Coaching helps people to learn new techniques rather than teaching them these techniques. A coach is expected to have a good understanding of the client's issue and context.
  • How to Manage Absence Effectively? - Absence it is said makes the heart grow fonder. But, when an employee absents himself or herself this is definitely not going to be the case. Absence of employees causes the loss of millions of dollars to the economy. Millions of work days are also lost as a result of employee absence. Absence is genuine in two third of the cases while the others just do it for non-genuine reasons. While employee abstention cannot be prevented according to management training programs and management training courses, there should be an effective mechanism to deal with the absence. Therefore there is scope for organizations to improve their attendance. But, how to go about it, is another matter altogether.
