Being A Leader Will Bring You Success

By Mandy Swift

Leadership calls for respect, and has nothing to do with 'like'. It took me a long time to realize that 'respect' has nothing to do with 'like' and, similarly, 'leadership' does not have to go hand in hand with 'telling people how to do something'. It is to do with inspiring people and empowering them to do things for themselves.

Leadership starts with respecting ourselves enough to be of service to ourselves. We need to show up every day in our lives and in our businesses and give both of them the respect they deserve. Quite simply, we can not expect respect from others if we don't respect ourselves.

As a child, we naturally assume that our parents will be our leaders. At school, we expect out teachers to be leaders. As adults, every single day, there is an expectation of leadership from the many people that we come into contact with.

We expect our manager to make the right decisions and lead the company to success. We expect sales assistants to 'be in charge' for us so that we can select and pay for our goods. We expect the bank clerk to explain the state of our finances and to lead us through our financial transactions.

Wed expect leadership in others literally every day. But what of the leadership we expect from ourselves? If we expect leadership from those around us, shouldn't we shoulder some of the responsibility of leadership too? Shouldn't we be demanding that we are also a role model?

So, the next time you are standing in line at the bank, or cussing the weatherman for getting the forecast wrong, ask yourself this - Are you a good leader for others in every area of your life every single day?

If you are a good leader, congratulations, I can guarantee that your life and your business are thriving at the moment. But if not, before you point and accuse other people, remember that that you are no better than them, and people you know are pointing at and blaming you. - 31963

Leadership Communication And Team Dynamics

By Marcia Xenitelis

Transformational leadership is all about steering the organization through change and that business outcomes are achieved because of the commitment and engagement of employees. One of the essential skills required to achieve this is to communicate change to their teams, however frequently they are not equipped with the appropriate tools to help them focus on the key message and to ensure that their team members are all facing in the one direction towards the new organizational vision.

A formalised approach to communicating with teams will ensure that leadership communication is focussed and that the same message is delivered to employees across the organization. A simple team briefing process that has three levels of cascading messages works as followings:

1. At the first level the Company President will brief his direct reports about the key issues for that week that he wants communicated to all employees. 2. This information is then distributed to all the executive team members who then are required to communicate those topics to their teams together with what they consider the top 5 issues for their division and then the top 5 topics for their respective team. 3. It is only the last section of a team brief that changes as this is directly related to how the corporate and divisional issues for the week relate to specific team issues. This section of the team briefing will always change depending on what the team is working on.

The reason this works is simple. The only aspect a manager has to think about is what is happening in the organization that will effect his team that week or month depending on the frequency of the team briefing process. The rest of the information is already determined by the divisional head and the CEO. The team brief should only take around 15 minutes so it can be incorporated into a regular team meeting.

And most importantly it is constant as the CEO has his Executive team meeting dates set for the entire year and this ensures that everyone from the Executive team to the frontline know what is happening in the organization.

Team dynamics is all about focussing employees in the same direction and team briefing provides the perfect tool to ensure that everyone understands the vision of the organization. Most importantly is provides a simple mechanism so that leaders and managers take the lead in ensuring that this happens.

All these factors combine to ensure that team briefings achieve the desired outcomes.

1. Make sure that you put in place a simple process 2. Make sure that the CEO drives it and that his direct reports understand the importance to the CEO - not you. Afterall you are not their boss, he is. 3. Ensure that the topics are the type of content that management are comfortable and knowledgeable about 4. Provide a feedback loop, again this is part of the process, if there is a question that management do not know the answer to, there must be a formal easy process for them to follow to quickly obtain the answer and respond to the employee. 5. Team briefings should only take 15 minutes, they can also be incorporated into regular weekly meetings.

When it comes to cascading information in a face to face format via management remember that as with anything, there will be some topics that employees want to hear directly from the CEO and other topics they are happy to hear from their manager. Generally when it comes to significant issues such as retrenchments, closure of offices and mergers or acquisitions employees generally want to hear this from the person at the top. Day to day, week by week and month by month operational issues they are comfortable in hearing from their manager who manages their daily work. - 31963

Mind Control Hypnosis Skills--Getting The Things You Want

By Dr. Anthony Taylor

The problem with most approaches practicing mind control hypnosis these days is the unrealistic importance upon hypnotic language patterns. Everyone has heard at some point in their lives that talk is cheap. Words do have their place in the art of mind control hypnosis, but words alone will only get you so far.

Think about it, if we could simply utter a few hypnotic words into someone's ear in order to hypnotize them, then we would all be filthy rich and living the exact type of life we wanted! Unfortunately, it isn't this simple. A lot more than language patterns are required in order to get what you want from other people. In life also, we must use more than words to get the things we want from other people. It is impossible to master hypnotic mind control by only learning hypnotic language patterns.

This means in order to completely master mind control hypnosis, that other hypnotic principles must be learned for you to be empowered to obtain success and greatness. One of the most vital things to consider is our social strategy. Social strategy empowers you to make essential alliances with any person you have access to in any social setting. If you can acquire the skill of consistently being able to acquire alliances, you will be able to elevate your social status.

Sometimes it isn't easy to make alliances with powerful people. For this reason you need to learn the entirety of what it means to play the alliance game so that you can master, not only individuals, but also groups. By having the power to make friends with other people, you have the power to get what you want from them. This powerful principle is the very essence of hypnotic mind control.

Hypnotic mind control is an art that utilizes everything that can be used in distinct situations in order to produce reliable results. Almost all of the hypnosis programs that are out there on the market today are entangled with hypnotic language patterns, and this is why these hypnosis programs aren't doing any people any good. In order for a hypnosis program to give you results, it must concentrate on social strategy and the diverse systems that can be used to make social strategy profit you in various social environments. - 31963

By Annie M. Jennings

I am going to show you how to push your website to the top with internet marketing promotion. It is not as hard as some people make it sound. There are basic things you can do that do not take much time to accomplish.

You would be amazed at all the places you can advertise online these days. You may choose to advertise on a few of the more popular classified ad sites.

This is an easy way for visitors to go straight to your site because all they need to do is click on that link.

A link exchange is a way to advertise your site on another business website. It works best when you choose businesses that complement what you sell. This is a great way to get people to visit your special website and possibly make a purchase from you.

To keep your business name in front of your customers why not start a newsletter. You may advertise sales, new products and articles relating to your business or products. Once in a while give your customers an incentive to visit your site such as a contest or something fun to get them interested in your products. Also include a couple of free items or a buy one get on free incentive.

Talk to everyone about your website off and online. Have contests or trivia questions or a scavenger hunt on the site and the winner will receive a free gift or product. Have several sales through the month. At the end of the month have a clearance sale to get rid of older inventory so you will have room for new inventory. Keep the excitement alive in your website. Have a buy one product get one free. Just be creative and think outside the box.

For more ideas about getting website traffic coming in it is a must to do a little research online. Not all the information will apply to your situation, but take what works and leave the rest.

Market Your Book - Publicity And Promotion

By Annie M. Jennings

There are many book titles that you see on the shelves of bookstores and in libraries. They may have some of the best information, or tell the best stories that have ever been written. However, if the author was not marketed by a well known publisher or did not have the tools and ideas to show that book promotion and publicity market your book.

If have any creative challenges when it comes to promotion, you can get help online. However, be cautious. There are many companies that offer seminars and other ways to market your creation. However, you may find that they are more interested in you buying their books than them helping you promote yours. Many of the methods that have been successful are really just common sense marketing and can done on your own. Just take the time to be prepared to do them.

Listen to the radio in your local market. You will likely find at least one station that has some talk show host that discusses similar topics as what you have written about. In every case, these hosts are always interested in having entertaining guests on their shows. It helps them develop a larger audience and you will get some good exposure. They are easy to contact and if you are local and have a good story to tell, they will love having you on their program.

Depending on the topic, there will likely be a local radio station that covers a similar topic. They are always looking for interesting guests and topics that may make their listeners more interested. Listen to your local stations and find someone that is normally discussing a topic at least somewhat similar to what you written. Give them a call or send them an email with a biography of you and the book. You will likely hear back from them and you may be on your way. If the topic is more mainstream, use the same process to your local television stations. Again, with the plethora of local programming, you may be able to get a slot on a local morning show or again, a show discussing similar topics.

If you live in a small town, you may need to take a short road trip. Find as many bookstores as you can and contact them. Explain the topic of your publication, why you have written it and how you think it will assist or interest readers. You will likely find several stores that will allow you to promote a book signing event. Most stores are interested in any ways to get customers to come in and with the proper marketing, in this process, you may get to do some live performances, in the form of a discussion group, to explain why they should buy your book. You will need fliers, posters and copies of the book, so get prepared and head out to the shops.

Every city has multiple Networking meetings. It is the newest way to expose your business to other business owners. They have developed into legitimate marketing opportunities and you may meet some people that can assist you in other marketing areas, as well. Just by meeting and discussing the reasons that you wrote your book and what you expect the readers to get out of it, will likely generate some sales and at least start a bit of a buzz, when used in conjunction with your other marketing efforts.

Please remember that these are public events. You will need to take some time to get prepared. The perception of the quality of your book will go hand in hand with your personality in promoting it. The better prepared you are to discuss the topic, the purpose, your motivation for writing it etc., the better it will be received.

Lastly, if you are not a gregarious person and find these suggestions a tad scary, you can resort to just using the Internet. You can start a blog or launch a website to promote you and the book, but this can be more costly, time consuming and still will not guarantee that people find you. Unless you have been published by a known publishing house, your personal contact will be the most successful to get your product into circulation. Just as when you composed your work of art, spend some quality time to promote it. You will find that personal contact will be a great way to get you selling copies, meeting the readers and earning money, while sharing your experiences. - 31963

Leadership Skills Happen at Camp

By Lonnie Lorenz

More than ever before we need leaders. Those who attend Overnight Summer Camps tend to teach skills like flexibility along with problem solving. Living with those who are not the same as yourself and are from different parts of the country or world promotes an acceptance of diversity. Those who send their children to Overnight Summer Camps have long been aware that camps promote a childs personal growth and development. Many of these traits include: independence, responsibility, cooperation, teamwork and a willingness to try new concerns.

As summer camp director since 1996 we know that the best directors are intentional in using their camps resources to promote specific aspects of positive personal development . It is because of this intentionality that we as camp professionals can see and measure how campers are growing and developing as individuals during their stay at camp.

We pride ourselves on our one on one work with camp staff to ensure that they are aware that they not only need to keep safe but their job is to to encourage and assist campers in their own personal development and growth. Our daily meetings with staff is a time to check in and see how each camper is doing with the parents directives as well as the camps goals. We see ourselves as team mates with the parents of our campers.

For our older teens we give them an opportunity to guide campers as well. This counselor in training program is designed to help older teen engage in leadership and decision-making within their camp groups and for the camp as a whole. Daily they have classes that teach leadership skills as well as child development. Then they get to get out and give it a whack and see it really works for them. For some of these teen they just want a continuation of their own camp days but for others they see how this will benefit them in the real world and help them become better leaders in the future.

For many the biggest difficulty is that being willing to give of themselves including the importance of being physically and emotionally present for campers. Enthusiastically participating in all activities creates a contagious atmosphere for all to enjoy. Leaders motivate and encourage others, these are all part of a great summer camp.

Role modeling and mentoring are 2 other skills that are important at camp. Everyone participates in this has this responsibility, for in a community as camp we all effect each other. For many, this is the first opportunity to engage with others and realize their people skills. The skills learned of group management, gaining respect and for teaching children are all skills these folk will cary with them for years.

Overnight Summer Camp provides a great time to be outside and playing but it is also a wonderful chance for campers, and staff to increase their own personal growth and development.

Who Will Teach New Motorcycle Clubs The True Meaning Of Biker Brotherhood?

By L.J. James

I want to address a question I have gotten a lot recently. (I am sure it has a lot to do with the hit show Sons of Anarchy) It is from people who want to start new Motorcycle Clubs. They want to know if they should go to the predominate MCs in their area to talk about starting a new MC first. Many have said to me they do not understand the reason why they should go talk to them! Some have even gone as far as to say that if they have to go to the predominate MC in their area and ask permission that just proves that MC is a Criminal Gang! Not sure how they came to that conclusion but they are some very strong words sent over the computer.

I want everyone to remember I am writing this info as a guideline to those who are looking to get into the MC world and individual results may vary. This maybe some new fad to you but to true Motorcycle Club Members this world is everything!

For my answer to this Question I am going to put aside any statements of having to ask permission of the MCs in your area first. I am going to instead ask why would you not speak to the MCs in your area and get their Blessing first before starting a new Motorcycle Club. Many say it's because they are going to start a different type of Motorcycle Club. They may even be calling themselves something different like a Riding Club or a Motorcycle Association. Are your Members going to ride Motorcycles and have patches on their vests? If the answer is yes, Then again why not go speak to those who have come before you and paved the roads you now wish to ride down!

For many I know the reason they don't want to ask is simple fear! Fear of what they do not know or what they think they do know. If it is fear, then it is because you do not know the real Motorcycle Club world! Now every Motorcycle Club in the world is different. But most Motorcycle Clubs don't mind helping to get a new MC started and teach them what it really means to be in a Motorcycle Club, I can guarantee you it is something you will not learn on TV no matter how many episodes you may watch!

Now if you have decided that what you really want is to start up a new Motorcycle Club, One thing I want to make sure you know is something every Father should have taught his Son as a Child and that is "Do not lie and Always do what you say you are going to do" One fact I will also give you is the MC world is all about Respect! If you just start up a new MC without talking to the other clubs in your area that will most likely be seen as disrespectful!

Let's think about some other reasons you would want to talk to the MCs in your area first. You are going to want to make sure your new Patch or MC name is not similar to another Motorcycle Club. Many MCs have worked hard over the years to create a name and image for themselves. They will not like the idea of you either using a name close to theirs or wearing a patch that looks like theirs. The reason being is a simple one, They do not want you being mistaken for them doing anything that would make them look bad. You also could be seen as trying to ride on their coat tails by using the reputation they have worked hard for. You may not understand it now but the MC world is a Brotherhood and if you are fortunate enough to be welcomed into it, You will understand after years of working hard creating a name for your MC. The bottom line is meeting with the MCs in your area and talking with them before starting a new MC is the right thing to do!

Another fear many have is they wrongly believe they will be forced to do things for these other MC's. The only thing most Clubs may ask of you is to come to a few of their events each year have fun and again to show Respect!!!

Now I have heard complaints from many that there are areas where the MCs have decided they do not want any more new MCs! Well all I can do is guess why that might be! The reason I would think that Motorcycle Clubs would say no more Clubs in an area is that there are already a lot of different MCs in that area and they all get along real well. These MCs would not want anything new coming in and messing up the harmony they have created.

Now like I said before the reason most say they want to start a new MC is because they want to start something different then what is in that area. Well often that is not the truth. The real reason People usually want to start a new MC is because they do not want to have to Prospect! If the only reason you want to start a new MC is because you are not willing to prospect, My best advice to you is to stay an independent rider because you will not last long in the Motorcycle Club world anyway!

However, there is such a thing as too much delegation. Maintain an active role in the organization to bolster your credibility and relevancy with your team. It also presents opportunities to prove you will do what you say you'll do.

More that delegation it's important how you delegate work, Develop relationships and talk to them even when you don't have to. Lastly, spread the delegated tasks around so you're not monopolizing any one person's time. Don't delegate at the last minute. Give your delegatee a very reasonable amount of time to accomplish the task. It's also important that you're not approaching team members only when you need something.

Always plan ahead: Keep a planner and keep cell phone reminders, make lists. Always remember that just as there are different ways of managing people there are different ways of managing information. What works for your colleague might not work for you, but find a system that does work and stick with it. Whatever it takes to get the job done and remember all your commitments, that's what you should do.

Stop and think: It a good habit to plan your day, it helps immensely in your everyday routine. Make it a habit each evening or each morning to think about the next 24 hours you're about to face. Don't hesitate to ask colleagues and family members for a little help jogging your memory. Everybody needs a little assistance sometimes, but you must balance that with self-sufficiency. If you don't, you may look around one day and see nobody to help you out. They'll be too busy dodging your phone calls. - 31963

Consequences For Kids' Bad Behaviour Shouldn't Be Enjoyable!!!

By Liz Marsden

I often listen to adults talking about their ideas of dealing with children's behaviour - and their misconceptions... It's clear that so many adults have completely lost their way and are, without realising it, reneging on their duty to manage and guide children's behaviour.

It's considered unfashionable and not quite nice, but what we're actually talking about is adults disciplining children. Yes, it's not politically correct and considered unpleasant these days, but...

Well sorry folks but adults have got to get their act together and start doing what they should be doing to make sure kids are secure in the knowledge of how their world and society works.

And guess what? Sometimes this involves issuing consequences for bad behaviour. That's how the world works - or at least, that's how it should work... And kids have to learn to accept this fact.

And another guess what? When adults do this 'disciplining kids' properly the result is confident, happy and relaxed individuals who can manage independently and successfully in society.

Let me tell you what happened that instigated this latest onslaught on the relationship between kids and adults...

I attended a meeting about one of the kids in my class - major behaviour problems that have largely been resolved and he's due to go to senior school in a few months...

This little guy has made enormous improvements - the adults at the school have learned to manage his behaviour and he knows he can't behave the previous way without there being consequences. He's great about all this new discipline stuff - relaxed and managing confidently and independently. But, as is often the case, there are still problems at break times when there is less supervision. But, he knows the rules and what will happen if he behaves badly.

So, of course, senior school need to know this. And their reaction when told that if he misbehaved during breaks there would have to be consequences?

'Well, he could be sent to a designated room but I don't think he would like it!'

Oh dear me!! HE ISN'T SUPPOSED TO ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE!!! He'd be going there as a consequence for bad behaviour so liking it isn't what he's supposed to do...

Where has the idea come from that if kids behave badly then something pleasant should happen?? It's totally and utterly rubbish!! No wonder that adults have lost the plot so completely when dealing (or not dealing!) with kids' behaviour problems...

I'm nearly done... On a more serious note, it's not difficult to learn to deal with children's behaviour properly, making sure that you use consequences in a way that will have a positive impact. Simple strategies, work on them and put them into daily practise with total consistency! Nothing more than that - honestly! - 31963
