USE POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT
The first duty
of a leader is optimism.
How does your
subordinate feel after meeting with you?
Does he feel
uplifted?
If not, you are
not a leader.
- Field
Marshall, Montgomery -
Most managers are too
busy chasing down problems and then criticizing the problematic people who
create the problems.
Positive
reinforcement is powerful when it comes to guiding and shaping human
performance.

TEACH YOUR PEOPLE “NO POWER”
As we look ahead into the next century,
leader will be those who empower others.
- Bill Gates -
The greatest value of planning and goal-setting
is that it gives you your own life to live. It puts you back in charge. It allows you to focus on what’s most
important to you. Learn to say “Yes”
to the things that are important to them, then you’d find that saying “no” to
what’s not important will get easier and easier.

- Sam Walton -
Building Relationship
does not come easy. The leaders have
to set the tone. The whole purpose of business
is to take such good care of the customer that the customer will sure return
for more.

USE YOUR BEST TIME FOR YOUR BIGGEST CHALLENGE
It’s so hard when contemplated in advance,
and so easy when you do it
- Robert Pirsig, Philosopher/Author -
It’s so important to use your best time for your
biggest challenge. Many leader are at
their best in the first hours of the morning. Whichever is the best time to shine, invest
in into the big challenge.
Most of us confuse pleasure with happiness. Know ahead of time what is the biggest
challenge. The ultimate source of a
leader’s professional happiness is the feeling of accomplishment.

USE 10 MINUTES WELL
Man must not allow the clock and the calendar
to blind him to the fact that
each moment of his life is a miracle and a
mystery
- H. G. Wells -
Have short motivating
quotations posted in plain view. It’s
a way to make yourself up to your potential.

KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO GROW
Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishments
- Jim Rohn, Business Philosopher -
Most managers place there things above the “plan”
in their priority hierarchy:
·
Not upsetting other people’s
feelings
·
The commitment to looking
extremely busy
·
Fire-fighting and problem solving
·
Explaining and justifying other
people’s performance
·
Being liked
Most meetings focus on the obstacles to success. Why not focus on growing.

SOFTEN YOUR HEART
He is only advancing in life
whose heart is getting softer,
his blood warmer,
his brain quicker, and
his spirit entering into living peace
- John Raskin, Art and social critic -
People who really
succeed in leadership transform the entire activity away from the concept of
managing into the day-to-day concept of building relationships. Always think in terms of relationship with
other person:
·
To make it better
·
To serve better
·
To contribute more
·
To demonstrate commitment
·
Make them happier
·
Make information easier to
excess.
A leader knows that
communication solves almost all problems. Avoidance worsens all problems.
According to master
teacher Lance Secretin:
Leaderships is not so
much about technique and methods as it is about opening the heart. Leadership is about inspiration - of oneself
and of others.
Great leadership is
about human experiences, not processes.
Leadership Is not a
formula or a program, it is a human activity that comes from the heart and
considers the heart of others.

COACH YOUR PEOPLE TO COMPLETE
Nothing is so fatiguing
as the external hanging on of an uncomplete task.
- William James, Psychologist/Philosopher -
Everything that is incomplete in your life is an
energy drain. It is stopping you from
creating more business. It’s draining
productivity, imagination and vitality away. Clean up those incomplete and their
motivation will surprise you.

DO THE MATH ON YOUR APPROACH
We make a living by what we get, but we make a
life by what we give
- Winston Churchill -
When you are a
positive leader with positive thoughts about the future and the people you
lead, you add something to every person you talk to. You bring something of value to every
communication. Because positive (+)
always adds something. Negative
thoughts rob you of your energy. Your
own strength and energy motivates others.
We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The
amount of work is the same
- Carlos Castaneda –

COUNT YOURSELF IN
To decide to be at the level of choice, is to take responsibility for
your life and to be in control of your life
- Arbie M. Dale, Psychologist/Author -
Leader who take ownership motivate more
effectively. It makes life
interesting, it make work a better experience and it’s more fun. True leadership inspires a spirit of buy-in.
True leaders are rare. They take the lead, not waiting for the
company to give something good to follow.
A great individual will always be more creative
than the company as a whole.
