All The Training in the World will not Improve your Business
| |
| With the number of online business opportunities available today, I see more and more people just trying to get as much knowledge as possible thinking that the more they know the more successful they will be. There is a reason why the smartest people in the world are not the riches people or the happiest. So all the training in the world will not help you if you don’t practice what you’ve learned. |

How to Embrace Passion, Power and Purpose in Your Life
| |
| It is sad to see people go through life without recognizing what brings passion to their life - the result is spending what could otherwise have been a full, rich life on things that truly don’t matter.

How to Be a Rockstar Leader
| |
| When you hear the word “rockstar,” what comes to mind?
Does it conjure up visions of a stage performance where adoring fans groove to the pounding vibe of a mega-celebrity with massive adoration? Does it evoke images of limousines, red carpet struts, and mega-attention? Perhaps it makes you think of an indulgent lifestyle where someone “gets” everything in lavish doses because of their huge persona, swelling fan base and their ability to command an army of servants to grant their every wish? Maybe an image of Mick Jagger, Bono, or even Hannah Montana?
What about in a corporate setting? Have you ever heard of an executive on a rocket ride to the top in the organizational structure being referred to as a rockstar? If you have, does the image make you think of what that person gives, or what he or she gets? |

How to Lead with Peace
| |
| Management Question:
Do you approach each new day with a set of logical convictions in your head that help you attain your goals? Are you focused intently on achievement, winning, and gain? If so, bravo! You have a great sense of objective management skills and behaviors. You are being important.
This is needed for results.
Leadership Question:
Are you also checking that “gyroscope” in your heart to see if you are being an actual caring, empathetic, and understanding human being while you achieve your results? Are you getting your results through healthy relationships? If so, then even better! You have a great sense of subjective leadership skills and behaviors. You are now being influential.
This is needed for excellence! |

On Leadership and Doing Dishes
| |
| Leadership is something that has a starting point in everyone who takes up the charge to get something done through and with other people. For some, the starting point in their leadership journey is subtle, progressing and steady. For others, it comes at a moment's notice with a call to duty. For me, it came from leading from the middle of the pack when I was 9-years old. And it all started from a deep hatred. The hatred of doing dishes! |

Soft Skills Training Seen as Needed More Then Ever
| |
| Corporate soft-skills training is increasing as companies are experiencing global growth and cross-cultural communications challenges. Getting a handle on effective training for some "old school" management-types can be even a greater challenge. As domestic and global markets change and employment dynamics shift, organizations need to be effective in how they roll out this type of training. A focus on interactive training can turn the "Knucklehearted" leader into someone that is magnetic and effective in influencing others. |

Police Customer Service
| |
| While customer service is my normal focus for this article, I have struggled with the term for many years. I don't see why we term Customer Service as a process. I believe if we respect each other, we can service people by treating them the way we would like to be treated. Now with the Insurance companies lacking in the ‘CS' training department, spare a thought for the senior executives of each of those companies. I wonder what they would do if they didn't receive the promised bonus, of at least hundreds of thousands at the end of the coming financial year. Hmmmm? Would they consider that a tragedy? YOU BET!

How Powerful Are You? Become Your Own Super Hero.
| |
| There isn't a super hero "out there" who can save you from your situation, fix your problems, or take away your fears. You have to tap into your own super hero; to identify the fears that are holding you back and to make a decision not to reclaim the power they have wielded. |

Winners Ask Powerfully
| |
| I’m a huge promoter of asking for what you want from your power when you need something from someone in business. If you feel wimpy, whiny, apologetic, justified, irritated or resentful, you might as well have a billboard above your head saying, “DISCONNECTED from my POWER”. You have to ask for what you want from yourself, others, the Universe/God and your own Inner Guidance. |

The Heroic Path
| |
| We are all born heroes. We choose our path and destiny every moment of every day. The hero's path is one of healing, of trials, and of discovering true power and enlightenment. It is not the power of the ego-that desires power to boost itself through greed, pushing harder, or through acknowledging superiority over others.
Our deeper truth, the one we carry in our Souls, is that of great vision, of leaping over obstacles with courage. Our greatest power takes wings through love, and connecting with others through compassion and kindness. The hero within knows that contribution is the key to the greatest gift he or she can offer others. |

LEADERSHIP IS PERFORMANE NOT POSITION
| |
| is never position or power or star on your sleeves and cap on your head and multi colour printed visiting card or revolving chair. It is always regardless of power. Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther king are the examples of leadership. Even in home you are able to distinguish difference between power and authority. Father most of the time lead with fear and mother lead with love. Father is a power center but mother is an authority. Leaders are authorities. They lead with WALK AND TALK formula, that's why they do not need power or position.
Leadership is not moving in an open car and receiving salutes from the citizens or civilians but making those people ready to die for you. |

Legitimate Power in Leadership

| Before I define leadership legitimate power, I understood the concepts of what is lawful and what exactly would mean power. So we can understand what is meant by lawful authority. This good practice to show any clear about the basic premises on which we have argued, as the base, there is no room for confusion. We define what we consider the power and legitimate power by legitimate means' lead |

Success and Fear
| |
| What you fear has no power until you give it yours.
When we fear something we are handing our personal power over to that which we fear. When we’re afraid of circumstances, situations or loss, we’re really giving our power away to the circumstance, situation or the loss.
So, whether we’re facing health issues, the bank manager, a hungry tiger or an uncertain tomorrow, we only become powerless when we surrender our power.
