CRAVING CHANGE FOR THE BETTER

We all hunger for transformation.  We want big changes, within short space of time.  we are no longer content with sitting by the site lines, waiting for things to change incrementally.  we want to see change, carved in the lines of the vision in our hearts and minds.

6 Common Strands To Make It Big And Achieve Dreams

1.   Envision the future

2.   Surround yourself with people who believed in their goals

3.   Don't listen to the naysayers, the negative critisms

4.   Forged on ahead regardless, buoyed by an inner confidence and self-belief

5.   Worked hard. Nothing comes easy

6.   Engaged with people

Bringing about small changes, much less transformative changes, has its share of challenges.  This is the lesson we all have to take to heart.  We need to stay true to our vision and continue ahead regardless of what challenges may come our way.

THE LEADERS DAILY TIPS

Credit to CartoonStock

1.     When asking your people to tell you about something,          let them realize that it's safe to answer.

2.     Effective leadership means that the work gets done              and that followers feel good about it.
        Empathy is being aware of or sensitive to the feelings,          thoughts and experiences of another.
        Delivering support isn't just speaking in a friendly                tone  of voice.  It is working little by little to maintain          a very real, very natural human connection.

3.     Sometimes we do the wrong thing for all the right                reasons.  the route to success often comes with                    keeping all thoughts of tomorrow in check and leading          to what is, not what could be.

4.     Carrying too much 'weight' can kill you.
        Carrying too much 'wait' exacts its toll in productivity,          piece of mind, and personal effectiveness.

5.     The role of leader involves achievement through                  others, often many others.  Get comfortable with                these few strategies:
             - delay is a strategy, use it; anger takes 5 to 7                       minutes to resolve physiologically (emotionally it                 can take years); schedule resolution instead of                     reacting in the moment
             - stop wishing for a better past
             - stop dwelling on the impact on you; make it                         about them
             - melt the ice, don't try to break it; you'll be                         surprise at what a little kindness can do

6.     People get hurt in arguments; if you win, they get                hurt....if they win, you get hurt....even petty                      arguments carry anger and damage.
        Win less and learn more.  Focus on the battle, not the          combatants or casualties.

HAPPINESS MATTERS

Credit to Quora

Happiness matters for a number of reasons.  The most important being that happiness enables passion, and passion creates energy.

Happiness brings energy and passion, and we add that to our work.  Social interaction can be very good for us.  The top doesn't have to be lonely if they are willing to make room on it for others.  Keep in mind that you are never alone unless you choose to be alone.
