Setting Goals: How To Do It

By Anthony D Carter

Setting goals can be a different task for each individual concerned. It really depends on the persons present conditions, physical ability, and various other influences. There are key pointers that will help anyone succeed by determining whether their goals are indeed solid and achievable. It is so easy to set unrealistic goals which lead to failure and frustration. Listed here are tips which will help you to have a better experience with the whole process.

Be Very Specific

Be specific by writing down all of the details surrounding your goal. Here is an example: "By October of this year I have made over $1,000,000." Another would be, "I have a solid growing friendship with my Brother-in-Law within the next two months." Or "I am the division supervisor of my sales department by this time next year." You want to include names, dates, positions and the exact amounts of your goal. Your success hinges on the degree of specificity that you include when writing your goal down.

Make it Measurable

Your goal needs to be measurable. You need to have a goal that is easy to break down into manageable parts. If it is measurable then it is easier for you to determine your progress. By attempting to accomplish the separate parts you are more able to easily stay on track. You simply complete each phase and move on to the next. That way you are never stuck wondering if you are moving forward or standing still. A measurable goal gives you an added advantage.

Make it Time Bound

In order to achieve your goals set deadlines. Having deadlines protects you from the failure that results from procrastination. Keep very tight and specific time-lines when scheduling your goals. An example is, " I am spending an hour a day with my family beginning next Tuesday. You want to be sure to write down the exact date and time. When you put a deadline on the goal you give yourself added incentive to get it done and not put it off to a more convenient time. It is better to set a date for your goal. That way you will want to start working towards accomplishing it now. - 31963

The Rules Of Creating Instant Success

By Annie Jennings

Who wants to find out how to be a great success in business? It's a matter of knowing the insider secrets of creating a powerful business model built around the needs of your client. Is it a secret? Perhaps to some but the principles are well known. The All Heart business model is a solid set of buisness principles that pay off over time.

The Rules Of The Game:

Rule #1: Pay attention to your clients and not your competitors as your clients will tell you what you need to do to be successful. If you are not offering the right products, your clients will go elsewhere. So, the question is, what does the client want? Well, first thing, is to realize how your client makes money and create services that help them make money. Don't spy on your competitors. You want to creating your own products and services so you can truly understand your market place. If you are too focused on what others are doing you may miss opportunities to create top notch products of your very own. Remember to trust yourself.

Most people prefer to work with the bigger name brands for the confidence factor. They believe that the name brand will deliver better, more reliable and consistent results for them. People have a tendency to choose to work with firms that fill us with confidence. Think about the image and branding the car companies have. Each brand carries an x factor, the branding factor, that gives people a feeling of wanting to work with or buy from the company or not. People have more confidence in companies they have heard of in the media or throughout their activities.

Rule #3: Everyone loves a guaranteed deliverable. Be the firm that offers products or services that deliver what you promised your client. Everyone wants to buy the better mouse trap. You make the connection between your services and your clients' success, you'll get lots of business. The fastest way to create a non-stop flow of new clients? Guarantee your outcomes. No one pays unless they get the deliverable. WOW, sounds risky right - exactly. But also ignites a tremendous drive to creativity where you immediately see the flaws in your plan, in the services you offer.

Rule #4: Be the best in the business: Only sell products or services with clearly defined set of deliverable and guarantee the outcome or you don't take any money from the client. Think about this: What if General Motors came out with a new business philosophy that goes something like this: If you buy a car from us, we guarantee your car will last 10 years or you get your MONEY BACK. That's right, full fee returned. What do you think would happen? All of the "break down glitches" would be defined, redesigned and protected. No cars break down, everyone is happy, GM takes over the market..... all because it was unafraid to make the promise of a deliverable with a guarantee. Hey, would you buy a car with the guarantee that is anything went wrong with the car you get a brand new one? Hello? Yes, I would. Because, guess what? That car would be perfect. No flaws, no errors, just perfection in motion. - 31963

Teamwork And The Modern Day Organization

By Bart Icles

We might well be familiar with the benefits of working as a team but it can sometimes be surprising that not every one of us understand the real meaning of teamwork. In most cases, we think that this concept is only appreciated in athletic clubs. What many of us do not realize is that it is quite important for us to work in teams and for us to feel that we are part of a team, especially in the workplace. In fact, there are some of us who believe that the words team and group have the same meaning. It can be a lot of help to learn more about the difference between working as a group and working as a team.

If you are talking about groups, they are merely a collection of people that have something in common. On the other hand, teams are groups of people that are working together towards a common goal. This primarily involves having a sense of teamwork that will enable the different members of the team to identify and understand their strengths, weaknesses, abilities and skills. We all know that changes happen everyday, especially in the fields of finance, economics, and technology - it is best that we all start working as a team so we can get through the different challenges these changes pose.

It is true that is possible for a group of people to accomplish their tasks individually but there is really a significant difference between working as a group and working as a team. It is far easier to accomplish the different goals of the company or organization if teamwork is present. And this is why there is a significant number of companies that are starting to build and develop work teams. There are several ways to build and develop work teams, and one of the most popular ways is through team building activities.

Team building activities are quite common in a lot of organizations these days. These activities are meant to help employees understand the true meaning of teams, how teams are built, and how the different skills, abilities, and strengths of a team can be developed. This kind of activity can also help them identify their weaknesses as a team so they can take steps on how to bridge the gaps so they can function more effectively as they try to achieve a common goal.

It is quite important for modern day organizations to place value on teamwork. Employees who are able to work as a team give more value to the different tasks and responsibilities that are expected of them. And this makes way for better collaboration and innovation, helping them to increase their chances of achieving what needs to be achieved. - 31963

Heed The Advice Given By Business Magnates

By Mark Walters

Though the big financial issues like Financial Times, Business Week, and the Economist are circulated in millions of copies, the publications of their writers rarely have the magical effect of the quotes made by the rich and famous in the world of business when it comes to business inspiration.

So, what is it that makes these quotes so appealing to the public? Several points have to be kept in mind when answering this question. First and foremost, the financial sayings of the rich and famous short and concise, and yet are packed with wisdom. You could say that it may require some knowledge in business and economics when it comes to grasping the ideas of business writers (three or four pages in length), while the quotes of the famous business-men and business-women are the gist and nothing else.

There is another reason why those making their first steps in business prefer to trust the big magnates more than business publications and those who write for them. The first have acquired their business knowledge from practice and have turned this knowledge into billions of dollars. The second acquired their knowledge from business textbooks and long lectures in dismal halls.

When asked change and innovation, Rupert Murdoch pointed out that it is no longer a case of big always beating small. As it stands, it is a case of the fast beating the slow. You could read hundreds of pages on the importance of innovation and change in the business world. Or, you can take Mr. Murdoch's simple words that growing a big business is not as important as growing one which is quick to adapt to changes in the market.

If you are an entrepreneur, you can use the clever thoughts of magnates and witty leaders just like they do - to motivate your employees. If your employees are not motivated enough, then you can motivate them by using quotes and sayings from famous business people. - 31963

Thinking of A Central Innovation Team?

By Dr. James Gardner

Central innovation teams are a model well adopted in many industries, from Pharmaceuticals, where research and development budgets tends to be held by large business units dedicated to the purpose, to Banking, where there are likely to be a few smaller New Product Development teams. Even in Government, there's increasing reliance on central innovation teams to drive efficiencies and cost savings.

Understanding the reason is not difficult. Central teams are simple to establish, and very easy to measure compared to alternatives which rely on an "innovation culture". It is easy to point to such teams and say "here is how we do innovation". These are teams which make executives feel good about their innovation efforts, because when you can nominate specific individuals and assign accountability, you know things are being done.

Now, in this model, the innovation team is the group that decides how and when to innovate. They ordinarily control an investment budget of some kind, and are accountable for making investments that drive forward the innovation agenda. If they are any good at all, they will sign up to some big return numbers that can justify the investments they're making.

There is, however, a problem with a central innovation team that does everything. The problem is that in order to get more innovation, you are forced to add more people. In other words, central innovation teams do not scale well.

Frankly, for most innovations, the difference in effort required to get an organisation to do something radical, versus the easier incremental kind of innovation, is not all that great. You still have to do the influencing, the management of politics, and of course, find the money in order to get things progressed.

Incremental innovation, though it tends to be relatively risk free, doesn't really make big returns on a case by case basis. This means that innovation teams have to do a lot of simultaneous innovation before they can make a sizeable difference. With a central team, the fact is that a single incremental innovation will likely not pay for the time of the innovators.

By contrast, radical innovation has much better returns, though the risk level is much, much higher. For innovation teams, this makes it seem sensible to spend their time on radical projects. The rationale is easy to justify: do incremental innovations and never break even ever, or at least have the chance to break even if you do radical.

What is really needed, though, is a balanced portfolio approach to innovation coupled with significant inputs from customers and employees. Participatory innovation, as this approach is known when supported by a central team, is usually the best approach to making innovation work in large organisations. - 31963

Why An Effective Leadership Training Program Is Important

By Bart Icles

These days, different organizations thrive in stiff competition. This is why it is important for an organization to emerge as a leader in its industry.

Among the most important elements that a leadership training program must give emphasis to is the quality of business leadership. Participants to this kind of program must be able to learn and understand essential and tried and tested skills and techniques that will help them become well respected and highly effective leaders in the organization, as well as in the entire business and industry.

Create Expert Status For Next Level Success In Your Career

By Annie Jennings

To create expert status for yourself in your field you can get booked in the media as an expert. This creates a competitive edge for you that is tough for your competitors to match. Here are some tips to get you going. First of all, make a list of everything you can talk about that is important to your industry. Next, expand your list to include real word scenarios likely to exist for your target market. So here's an example, if you are a career expert expand your abilities to comment by looking at the subtopics that affect careers such as "how to get a job when everyone else is losing theirs" or "how to stand out in a pile of resumes. Create expansion points or talking points for each of these sub-categories and you are on your way.

Your professional and expert BIO is the first thing you need to create. Pack it with evidence that you are an expert in the field such as your education, awards, recognitions, accomplishments, associations you belong to along with a list of any previous publicity or media placements you have received. Your bio should support your area of expertise and leave out the personal information that does not matter to the media such as hobbies or how many kids you have although you can mention the location of your nearest major city as sometimes the media likes to know where you or your business is located. Create a list of the shows you want to on, or the media you want to get into and build a list of contacts at the media outlets. You will introduce yourself to your media contacts and then once a story hits the news where you are qualified to provide talking points you can connect with your contacts. They already know you and it will be more likely they will choose you for the opportunity.

You contacts that you make in advance will help you when there is an issue or development in your area of expertise. Let's say you are a Workplace Expert or Career Expert and there is an unemployment report that comes out indicating even more workers have been laid off. Enter YOU, the career expert, who can give pointers on how these workers can prepare for their future when hiring begins again down the road. Make sure your media contacts have your contact info so they can connect with you quickly. Stay well informed, well read so you have the history of knowledge to back up your commentary. Send your points on the issue or news event at hand to the media and you 'll be in good shape to be chosen as the expert or analyst they call for commentary.

Keep your eye on the news. Anytime there is breaking news that you can comment on as the expert contact your media database immediately and stand by for their call. If you are immediately available for an interview or be willing to drop everything and head to a local TV affiliate for a segment, let them know this and include your closest major city. Watch your target shows and subscribe to your target print media to learn the types of experts they have on the show or use in the article. You should also familiarize yourself with the interviewer's style or the journalist's work in your area. You always want to be pitching "next level" ideas, not something they just covered.

Media training is your key to success. Invest in a few good sessions that teach you how to be a top notch media analyst. Everyone has some trouble spots they need to address and media training gives you the chance to make these changes in advance of your TV spot or radio appearance. Some people speak real slowly with a lot of "ummmm's" throughout their commentary. This style of speech is not appropriate for the news or an interview on the radio or with a journalist as it does not compel anyone to listen and most people watching or listening will get distracted. Plus, speaking without command of your knowledge pegs you as an amateur and the media will have no choice but to move on. - 31963

At Last - Real Strategies For Changing Your Company's Culture

By Vinnie Garufi

It can be a challenge to modify the customs of a whole organization, particularly if the staff is large and spread over several locations. It is always helpful to review the strategies that other teams have found successful in the past. For example, consider the story of Adventist Midwest Health.

Adventist needed to start with straightforward, concrete steps that all 5,000 employees, spread over multiple facilities including hospitals, outpatient and support locations, could talk about and achieve.

A major goal was to correct patient's and patient's family's opinion regarding the quality of care they were receiving. The organization had always been dedicated to providing great medical care, but it often happened that the staff's focus on the task at hand caused the impression they were in a hurry and non-communicative to those they encountered during the day. While this was not correct, patients often expressed concern over the health care quality they were receiving as a result.

Adventist took on the challenge of becoming a more responsive organization that was committed to responsive communication with all parties, as it knew this was imperative to gaining the trust of patients and their families. It is common in many organizations to attempt to change the employee's behavior with a vague directive such as "be nice to people", but Adventist knew it was important to define manageable actions that would help them to reach that goal.

Consultants from the Studer Group helped the leaders of Adventist to implement the 10/5 Rule. Staff were trained to look any patient, staff member or vendor in the eye who was within ten feet, and to say "hi" to them if they were within five feet.

What resulted was that the entire staff had a model to strive for with a specific name. The employees would check each other on whether or not they were following the rule and kept each other accountable. Most agreed they didn't like to be corrected by a co-worker for failing to greet someone in passing, but acknowledged that the process resulted in a friendlier environment for staff and patients alike.

Since it was implemented, the 10/5 Rule has become a way of life at Adventist. It only took a month of using the rule before patients started commenting on the positive changes and employees began enjoying their work day more.

Lessons Learned

Adventist's experience with the 10/5 rule brings up several points regarding change and influence.

1. Make change concrete.

The authors of the book, Influencer found that in successful change efforts, leaders identify vital behaviors. Vital behaviors are the few key actions that lead to other changes. In this example, the vital behavior was looking up and acknowledging one another. While this one action didn't change the culture, it did create a cascade of other changes.

2. Messages should be "sticky"

In their book, Made to Stick, researchers (and brothers) Chip and Dan Heath argue that an idea needs to be "sticky" enough for people to first understand it and then communicate it to others in order for it to spread. Adventist's 10/5 rule was sticky - it was simple, concrete, catchy, and memorable enough to spread.

3. Make it a priority for all members of the organization to share accountability.

The final lesson learned is that shared accountability is a crucial factor to the positive outcome of the initiative. Adventist leadership encouraged employees and staff throughout the Adventist organization to hold each other accountable with respect to the use of the 10/5 rule. This involved the entire staff in the success of the campaign.

Organizational culture is difficult to define because it is so abstract. However, the lessons learned from Adventist is that, rather than trying to force a certain culture on an organization, it is better to focus on changing specific key behaviors, which, when changed, will ultimately lead to a successful change in the overall culture. - 31963

Hypnotic Mind Control--Language Patterns Declined

By David Drake

Is it true that you can get the things you want through the art of hypnotic language?

Ericksonian Hypnosis failed in the pick up artist community. Women don't use hypnotic language to seduce men. Politicians don't use hypnotic language. Politicians actually say less than is necessary because they like to use the power of scarcity. How long will it take persuasion circles to get it completely through their minds that hypnotic language patterns are a total JOKE?

People are using their appearances, the images they create and portray in public environments, and they are using social strategy to persuade people and get the things they want. Not one person successful is using hypnotic language! Actors are using language patterns, and neither are world leaders using Ericksonian hypnosis to obtain wealth and power. Most successful and powerful people don't even care about hypnotic language.

Men tried to use Ericksonian hypnosis to seduce women when the male seduction community was born. Needless to say, they became a downright laughing stock. For this reason the male seduction community has changed over the years and moved away from hypnotic language in order to move towards the science of social strategy. Men soon discovered the power of using their behavior to seduce women as opposed to trying to use hypnotic language.

Ericksonian Hypnosis have been scientifically proven to not be able to control people's minds outside of clinical settings. They are not the preferred tools for persuasion according to underground hypnosis groups either. Time and time again, hypnotic language patterns are being shoved back into the clinical settings that they were originally taken from.

Disguised Hypnosis, according to the underground, uses social strategy to overcome and dominate the thoughts of others. The social sciences consist of the professions that know human behavior and who know the theories that govern human behavior. This is why persuasion experts started to combine the behavior theory of social science into their influential strategies to create influential forces that are nearly impossible to reckon with. - 31963

There are a wide variety of advertising techniques that any company can utilize, but the effectiveness of most advertising strategies often differ tremendously. If you want to use an advertising technique that will surely increase the amount of buzz that exists around your company and products, you should certainly consider using corporate communications using publicity marketing and promotion strategies.

When you are creating this type of marketing campaign, it is likely that you will discover the fact that there are many different ways you can implement this type of advertising. One strategy that is commonly use by companies is known as a giveaway. Giveaways are commonly implemented because they are incredibly effective forms of advertising. Most customers love free gifts.

Most customers within the global economy are always on the lookout for a good deal. These customers are certainly attracted to free gifts and other types of giveaways too. When you use this type of marketing, you are placed in a great position to create a buzz around the products and services your business provides.

If you do not want to spend a great deal of time and money on your promotional offerings, you should be aware of the other marketing strategies that you can implement in order to increase the amount of awareness your company receives. Also, if you want to attract many customers, while still building a strong relationship with all of your customers, you may want to take advantage of the strategies that use a variety of small gifts, rather than one large gift, in the giveaway your company offers.

Corporate communications using publicity marketing and promotion should always be focused on building a strong relationship with customers.

Within this relationship, you are in a wonderful position to promote ideas and concepts that your company is strongly associated with.

Communicating an idea or concept is often much easier to do than building a relationship with customers though.

Introducing Trust Into Your Executive Leadership Training

By Gregory Covey

I have found that the most important part of any executive leadership training program is the opportunity to bring your team together and create an environment that breeds trust. When you bring any team together into ~ learning environment, whether they are executives or not, there will be a bonding process provided the training is spread out over time. Taping into this will pay your organization back exponentially.

Taking part in a characteristic executive leadership training program the leaders must be pushed outside their comfort zone to experience new-found methods of doing business, but of further importance they must ascertain how to take advantage of one another's talents. In place of butting heads with one another the leaders should connect on a level that will develop a higher level of trust. For them to be able to accomplish this, the facilitator must push the participants to their extreme limits way beyond the leader's comfort zone. Participants are normally inclined to be more honest whenever fear is involved, and that is the challenge for the trainer.

Fear is a powerful motivator for almost everything, including bonding with individuals you would not normally think about that with. When men go into battle and face possible death, they create a bond with those around them like no other. When you have to trust your life to that person fighting beside you, you gain respect and a bond that will stay with you forever! If some type of fearful experience can be introduced into your executive leadership training program, those participants are going to bond. How you do that will depend on your executive team!

I introducing an element of fear into your executive leadership training program could come in the form of a budget* crises so tight that it may cost individuals their jobs! It could come in the form of making them face a fear they have battled with their entire life, such as, insects, swimming, heights, flying, etc. It is amazing how the person with a very tough exterior will begin to open up quickly when facing their fears!

Once this executive leadership team begins to open up you will see the difference it will make in accomplishing things that have never been able to get done in the past. That trust, that each will have with one another will break down and eliminate the barriers that have been present in the past. Without those barriers a team will be formed along with a bond that not be broken. Instead of back biting, there will be support for one another.

Trust must be a part of your executive leadership training program. Without making it a part of it, you are wasting your time. I am not advocating that you not introduce other pieces into the training; however, an executive team that trusts each other will accomplish so much more. Don't give them another one of those lame programs that come and go. Take time to build your team the right way and everything else will fall into place. - 31963

How Each And Every Boss Ought To Treat One's Employees

By Ryan Leeds

If you have ever worked at an office or some other business, then you most likely know what it is like to deal with a demanding, unpleasant and very negative boss. That can make being at work quite a bad experience and make you not want to even be there.

Let's say you were in a similar situation before; you are definitely not alone. So many folks do not like their boss because of the treatment they get from them while at work.

If you're on the other side of the equation, you may have people working under you. You should know that managing employees effectively and successfully can be an extremely rewarding experience that brings you incredible results if handled right.

Let's talk about some of the strategies that can be implemented by you with regards to giving your employees the correct treatment. You will find that doing this right will work wonders.

First of all, show empathy towards your employees. Take the time to find out all about them and to learn just what is important to them.

Too many supervisors fail to make personal connections with their subordinates, and this leads to the stereotypical relationship between employees and bosses that we far too often see. Keeping it friendly doesn't mean you'll be walked on, as you can still have some firm rules in place despite this.

It is so important to give your workers lots of praise and rewards. If you worked for someone who only told you what a bad employee you were and never pointed out the good things, wouldn't you feel horrible every day and not want to do your best?

It is a fact that people thrive on praise. They are going to keep wanting it after they have gotten it once. As soon as they have earned it, be sure to let them know right away and this will make them want to continue doing things to get that praise.

Always remember that when everyone in the office is happy, success will happen at the same time you are having fun. There are not a lot of things in the world of business that can hold a candle to that. - 31963

Speaking in Public and the Significance of Eye Contact

By Effrim Mary

Public speaking is an obligatory talent to have when you're making an attempt to climb the success ladder or maybe trying to get through a project for college. A lot of people will tell you that when you're talking in public to just picture everybody in their underwear, but that doesn't truly work. When you're addressing an audience, you would like to ensure that you are often away of certain main elements ; your body language, your pronunciations, your eye contact with the audience, and your visible assists as it can never hurt to have folk see an example of what you are talking about.

When it comes to your body language while speaking in public, there are a giant amount of habits that you do wish to avoid doing. If you're frightened, you need to make sure that the crowd you are addressing doesn't realize it. When you're in front of all those folks, you need to ensure that you do not cross your legs or twitch with your feet.

You never let your eye off the ball or you will miss a shot. Like sensible, keep your eye contact on the bystanders at all points. Instead have a discuss with your audience with your eyes.

Along with your body language, you want to always ensure that you pronounce your words correctly. The standard issue with being twitchy is you begin to stutter and are not able to say your words in the proper way. While standing in front of an audience, you want to make sure that your eye contact is level with there.

Nerves that's a word than conjures fear and fear each time folks get on up and talk in public. Pros call it adrenaline and you need that to do a very good job. If you don't have nerves or adrenaline, you might as wel not trouble because you aren't worried. Sop welcome nerves, call them adrenaline and make them work for you.

While standing in front of an audience, you want to ensure that your eye contact is level with there. You do not need to gaze at them, but glance round the room to let every person that's in the room know that you are chatting to them. If you simply stare at the floor the entire time, your audience may get the picture that you aren't very confident and do not have an excellent idea as to what you're talking about. If you're using index cards for your speech, you would like to make sure that you simply peek at them and you are not reading off of them. If you're just reading off index cards, you audience may become bored. When indicating portions of your visible aid, you want to make sure that you look into the onlookers while using the visual help.

Now, if you are employing a visual aid to further get your point across, you want to use as an enhancer not as the main part of the speech. When creating your visible aid, you would like to make sure that it is big enough the audience will be able to see it without much interruption in the room. Depending on the environment in which you're going to be talking, you can either use bright and big displays or the everyday official looking statistical data. Whichever you use, you need to make sure that you say what you're talking about while keeping eye contact with your audience.

What number of folks I have spoken with who haven't a clue what to do with these very handy limbs. Actually they copy people on television particularly weather girls. It forced me to feel better and comfy such a lot that as quickly as I stood up to talk, my 2 hands came together. When I got truly nervous I used to rub them together too. Somebody told me I looked like a market trader making tons of cash. - 31963

Coming To Terms With Leadership Development

By Bart Icles

Is it right to believe that opportunities are everywhere? My guess would be "Yes".
I would not be lying if I said that anybody can find the perfect opportunity, should they seek it. The difficult phase is determining whether a person possesses the talents needed for that "perfect" opportunity. Understanding what is asked of us is simple enough. The question is: do we have it?

Yes, it is impossible to possess every skill in the world. There is no way to be qualified for every single job available on Earth. I know that, and that is not my purpose here. However, there must be a quality that somehow every task, be it professionally or personally, seeks. There surely must be attributes that need to be found in every person who wishes to be successful. And true enough, there are a lot of them. In order to be great, you have to be wise. You also have to have common sense. It would also be great if you were humane. There are so many that enumerating them all would fill up the space, so I have decided to focus on a quality that might seem so obvious but is so hard to attain: Leadership.

There is no arguing that each attribute is as important as all the others, but it would also be safe to say that leadership could possibly be the hardest to achieve. Even upon grasping the idea of leadership, there is no guarantee to sufficient understanding of it. It is not my intention to deride other traits, but the amount of sacrifice required by leadership is definitely great. There is a saying that leaders are born, and I just might have to disagree with that.

Leaders evolve through experience. They endure different circumstances that form the way they think. They confront challenges that set in stone their virtues. For some, the idea of undergoing a leadership development course is a worthwhile investment. Prospective leaders accept the demands that come with being a leader that they consider leadership development as a requirement. Executives with years of experience even attend Executive Leadership Development Programs to further their skills.

True, potential leaders are all around the globe. Forgetting proper leadership skill development, however, is basically a sure-fire way of crushing potential. However you may want to look at it, leadership is not an overnight development. - 31963

By Annie Jennings

Well fellow business men and women, the recession is not over yet. Let's get in the game big time and reach the clients that are still able to purchase services. How do you reach them? Stay visible in the media. Get lots of media attention from appearing on radio shows, to getting major TV bookings to being the quoted expert in newspaper and magazines. Oh, and don't forget to get lots of big bookings on the internet media sites as they have strong rankings and this can help your search engine optimization as well.

It's more important than ever for your clients, both the ones you have and the ones you are targeting, for you to be seen and heard on the media that is significant to your marketplace. Competition is intense as the well capitalized businesses have positioned themselves to not only to preserve their current client base but to secure the new business that is available to them to ensure their survival throughout the recession. This competition (your competition) is using savvy marketing and publicity and strategically using their resources.

Invest in yourself as you are your best investment. Your media placements and publicity successes can be repurposed to your website, promotional materials, publicity initiative, your media bio and lots more. And isn't it nice to be able to name drop a famous host and famous TV show saying that you were on the show as a guest expert? Of course, and you get to enjoy the tremendous third party endorsement that follows. Yes, media placements are as good as an investment as gold is in tough times. There is a flight to quality and you can be the quality.

How do you get the kind of publicity you need to out-compete everyone else? Lots of radio appearances, lots of TV appearances, quotes in newspapers and magazines and on news sites. You get to show listeners or readers what you know. Although, be sure to stay cutting edge and understand the challenges of your marketplace so your commentary is both insightful and brilliant. Stay out there in the media and take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way.

Here's how it can work for you. Let's say you wanted to hire someone to help you invest your nest egg. Do you start looking in the yellow pages? No, you ask for referrals and you start to notice the leaders in the investment management firm. One day, you see a financial pro on your cities morning show who looks good, well dresses, good appearance on camera and everything he says seems to resonate with how you feel. Hmmmm. Should you give him a call? Of course, to land on that TV show the expert has to jump through quite a few hoops and pass the media's scrutiny. He must be good or he would not have been invited on the show. Now, the new business is his to loose. If so much is coming through the door and he can't get back to you, well then, you have to keep looking but he did get the shot at your business. - 31963

Author And Book Marketing Tips

By Naomi Jennifer

If you write a book, chances are you want it to be successful in order that you are able to continue writing for a living. When you just start out, it may be difficult to be able to afford public relations services to promote your book. So how do you get your work known on little-to-no budget?

Many authors have had the smart idea of writing books about how to promote their books. They are serving their own needs by catering to others just like them. Some books are better than others and some may be just scams. However, you should look at what these authors are doing to get their books bought in the first place. They use new technology which can be free. Use the internet. Create fan sites. Try to link yourself up with as many search engines and online retailers as you can.

You may actually be in a better situation financially if you live in a small town instead of a big city. Someone from a small town getting a book published is big news in that area. Residents will rush out to see what their neighbor was able to create. Local media and papers will focus stories on you, which is always excellent and free advertising. In a big city, no one would care. You must use every single chance you get in order to get your name out there.

You must think about your own image when you promote yourself. Be a professional, above all else. Off-color or non-funny jokes will hurt your image, as well as if you dress like a slob. You also need to know just how much you should tell about your book. If you reveal the whole story, no one is going to bother reading it. Speak intelligently but do not alienate people with intellectual babble. You must be personable and just a tiny bit mysterious while still forcing yourself onto people's radar.

Be professional, be courteous, be humble, and make your audience wonder a little. Remember that if you are in a rural area, people will say, "I remember that person from high school!" or "That's So-and-So's child!" They will want to see what you have accomplished because there is a definite history there.

You cannot be shy when it comes to advertising. Do absolutely anything you can (without making a negative impression of yourself). Do commercials, be in local magazines, even put up fliers yourself. You must be a business person. Sign autographs at a local book store. Make deals with companies who promote you and give them a cut of books they help you sell. You goal is to climb to the next tier of celebrity and then the next, as selling your book is your livelihood. - 31963

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
