  • Authentic Leaders - Great leaders have many traits in common, one of which is authenticity. What is an authentic leader then? It is clearly seeing and knowing all of 'you'--the good, bad and ugly. It's you accepting the 'you' that you want to ignore or even hide. When those who seek to be leaders don't accept all aspects of themselves, they create two fatal errors. First, what you resist persists. If you resist your fear, it only builds. If you resist your anger, it grows larger and larger until it becomes unmanageable. Alternately, become introspective;
  • Two Key Verses for Godly Leaders - Feeling overwhelmed? Weary? Leaders like you need encouragement. Two verses in Paul's first letter to the Corinthians can give you what you need. "Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong. Do everything in love." (1 Cor 16:13-14) This is a terrific pair of verses for godly men, for leaders in the church and in our homes. Let's unpack it. Be on your guard. Echoes of Psalm 4:23, guarding yourself, and the idea of being watchmen on the walls (Ezekiel 33) for others. We live in a dangerous environment for our souls.

  • Leadership Means Clarity Of Vision - Leaders have vision; they can see beyond their nose, so to speak. Vision refers to the ability to see things far ahead in terms of time, evolution and growth. It also includes the ability to pre-empt the difficulties and obstacles and be prepared to deal with them when they look you in the face. In fact, the fundamental difference between leaders and followers is that the latter need to be told what to do and sometimes, even how to do it while the leaders will create work and be able to see the finished product even as they work on the initial stages. Vision is what Michelangelo saw in the rock; he didn’t see the stone; he saw the statue complete and beautiful.
  • allegiance or leadership - Different leaders have different ideas about leadership. For example, see below Jack Welch's vision, which even though quite modern compared to many leaders, is nevertheless based on quite traditional leadership principles.

There’s much to be proven, much skill to be shown in order to get to the top. Still, not all who do make it to the top make effective leaders. In a dog eat dog world, most of the grunts somehow make it to the top, while the true leaders, the ones who truly deserve leadership, are left behind. Why kiss it when it stinks? By principle, it’s supposed to be easy enough to make it to the top in the corporate world.

  • Championing Courage - Can you think of someone you know who exudes courage? Take a second and picture someone in your mind who is particularly courageous. What do they do that makes them seem like this to you? A couple of weeks ago, I took on a challenge: I decided that my team would adopt a few contestants in the race for the "Next Internet Millionaire" contest. I found some participants who seemed to have a positive message, then posted in the forum offering to promote them.
  • Leadership Pictures - Use Leadership Pictures to Be a Good Leader - Pictures of great leaders get plastered over the newspaper everyday, and it is just impossible to use these pictures as inspirational pictures. However, if you are really serious about using leadership pictures to make you be a good leader, then you can try using pictures that are from online photo books like photo bucket and image share. It might sound impossible to you that such random pictures might spur you to be one of them.

How can we train leaders? Or even can we make leaders out of nothing?
  • Hey Contractors, Push Leadership Into Your Crews - Are you trying to build a business or are you trying to work yourself to death? The question constantly runs through my mind when chatting with contractors about their situation, their dreams and goals, and their frustrations.

You can’t afford to be the only one making decisions, pushing quality, enforcing safety, driving your crews for speed, and ensuring your customers are happy.
  • The Greatness Of Followers - I often hear people saying words to the effect that it is better to be a leader than a follower. This type of thinking, is most often expressed in business, but it has permeated into mainstream modes of mentalities. There are quite a few unwarranted stigmas attached to being a follower as opposed to holding the ‘better’ and ’greater’ position of a leader. It gets forgotten how important followers are to leaders. Often recognizance is overlooked in realizing followers are needed supporters of a cause, business, or movement. Without followers, a leader is nothing.
  • You're Guaranteed to Succeed When You Become a Leader - It's almost like people just want to look past this topic in their business. This is absolutely vital to your success in the network marketing industry. Why? People join leaders plain and simple. If you're not a leader then starting today, you are. People don't join companies or comp plans, they join people they know, like and trust and they join leaders. I know this all sounds preachy but it's really true.

Leadership is an art which can be developed and enriched using the tools and techniques of Neuro Linguistic Programming. Effective leaders require a combination of three types of skills. Administering emotions, gearing up learning, induce and convince. Here, balancing or managing emotions particularly centers around you.

  • Leaders Under Construction - Developing Leadership Skills - Are leaders born or made? Well, leaders are born, but only in la la land!!! You can be born with the traits of a leader but the right encouragement is a must for developing leadership skills. While developing leadership skills at an early stage has its advantages, it’s never too late to start if you haven’t yet discovered the leader in you! And that’s not a whole load of motivational hogwash. In this piece, let’s take a look at the why and how of developing leadership skills.

  • Leaders Manage Goals To Ensure More Is Not Less - Leaders manage goals to know when more becomes less. Leaders know there is a place where further effort, energy, knowledge, people resources and money don't really add additional value. In fact, more of anything, after a certain point, may be stealing from other requirements. Leaders know time, money and effort, by themselves, are really inefficient measures - results are what count. And knowing what results are needed avoids the "more is less" trap. Leaders know "more" can keep you stuck in the same place long after you've achieved most of what's really needed.
  • Which Online Business Opportunity Will You Choose? - One thing is certain, there is not a shortage of online business opportunities for you to choose from. The problem is, as most of us already know, that many of these opportunities stem from fly by night companies that simply are trying to make some quick cash. For their unsuspecting members, they are simply counting down the days until they close the doors and reopen another biz-op under a different name. Most people that are caught up in these systems are thrown into one bad home based business after another. It doesn't have to be that way, however, as legitimate business opportunities are also available. If you find the right opportunity, you will find success. Here are some things to look for when you are choosing an online opportunity.
  • What Should Senior Leaders Spend Their Time Doing? - A challenge for small business owners like myself is spending enough time working on the business. Most of our time is spent working in the business. Senior leaders of larger organizations face the same issue. It is very easy to get caught up in the day to day operations of a business at the expense of spending adequate time doing the things that senior executives should be doing. An activity that I have participants in my executive leadership program do is to keep a log of how they spend their time for five working days. When they analyze where they actually spend their time and compare it to where they feel that they should be spending their time, huge gaps appear in those strategic activities required to improve business performance in the long term. Strategic activities center on four main areas—vision, values, long term direction, and resource allocation.
  • Shameful Leaders - The Trouble with Wall and Main Street - I just completed my morning coffee and dose of Wall Street Journal when I read that AIG the world's largest insurer, spent $440,000 on a posh California retreat for its executives, complete with spa treatments, banquets and golf outings, the expense-spent days after a massive billion-dollar bail out. These egregious individuals used money-borrowed money for an annual sales feast.
  • Inspire Others - The Impact Of Attention - Early in my career I discovered a phenomenon which you may well recognize in your own area of work. It turned out to be a powerful way to lead and inspire. My first job was a software developer and this entailed fixing bugs in programs. Sometimes a bug was really hard to find and, with a big program, a day or two could pass without finding it. In frustration I would call on a colleague and ask him to help. As he sat by my desk I would start to explain the fault and what the correct outcome should be. He listened closely and after five or ten minutes, without him having said a word, I would suddenly see the flaw in the program and how to fix it!
  • Curiosity--A Needed Political Ingredient - Curiosity is too often absent in today's leaders. 1. America can bring about democracy in other countries by force of will and arms wherever and whenever we choose. 2. Political accommodation in Iraq will follow the military successes of the Surge--or vice-versa, that we need the establishment of viable political institutions before we can quell the insurgency. 3. We can have large government programs and keep everybody honest. 4. Success in the “war on terror” can be achieved without a national commitment, a degree of “shared sacrifice.” Our leaders of the future must be curious about seeking causes for current events such as: 1. The current meltdown in the housing market and related banking institutions . 2.
  • Attending A Self Improvement Seminar - What are you? A leader or a follower? We can all become leaders and also followers. Both are important but the leader sets the good example for his/her followers. A good leader has a good follower. If you think you are not a good leader, maybe you should have a self-improvement seminar. Self-improvement seminar for leaders is training them to be good to the followers. There are a variety of self-improvement seminar for you. But leadership training seminar is the best for you.

  • Hand-Me-Ups - Imagine you and your team are running from a fire. Your leaders are ahead of you, with the rest of you clamoring to get to where they are, on the other side of a rushing river. You reach a steep ravine, which is the only way across and the only way you can get above it to the other side is with help from those ahead. You reach your hand up to grasp theirs. What do you do now? Do you hang like a wet noodle and make them hoist up your dead weight all on their own? Do you think they would even be able to save you if you did that?
  • Leadership Through Goal Setting - vs - Brute Force management - Setting goals as the way to create priorities is what leaders do to maintain direction and focus. Unfortunately, many managers take a tremendous amount of potential leverage out of their organizations by not prioritizing. Many do it by using the Brute Force style of management. How to define Brute Force management? It's the "just keep working harder, working longer, and working smarter and everything will be OK." It's the "just do what I tell you to do when I tell you to do it." I had a Brute Force boss whose standard answer to "What's the most important thing?" was "Everything's the most important thing.
  • Future Leaders - Many qualities of effective leadership - characteristics such as communicating vision, demonstrating integrity, focusing on results, and ensuring customer satisfaction - will never change. But five new factors have emerged as clearly more important in the future: 1. Thinking globally. The trend toward globally connected markets will become stronger. Leaders will need to understand the economic, cultural, legal, and political ramifications. Leaders will need to see themselves as citizens of the world with an expanded field of vision and values.
  • Honoring the Wisdom of our Senior Employees - A large percentage of our current workforce in America will be retiring in the next several years. This will leave a shrunken workforce behind. This will create a drill down ripple effect. Today's valuable and wise senior workers won't be there soon and their decisions won't be here for us. I often hear people say "I never recognized all he did because he made it appear so easily done." In their hearts, our retiring leaders mean it when they say "I'll be here for you whenever you need me.
  • How To Successfully Build a Stay At Home Moms Business Opportunity - Many stay at home moms desire to build a successful home based business.

  • Are Men Better Bosses than Women? - Which gender makes the best boss? It's a frequently asked question in the workplace. Is it men or women who are superior as boss-material? MSN Career Builder recently featured an article espousing the fact that men are better bosses.

It's really a question of what qualities make someone a successful boss, and even further how do we quantify success? There are clearly differences between men and women.

  • Leadership Lessons from the Kings of Chocolate - Milton Hershey and Forrest Mars were different types of leaders who both built successful companies. We can learn much from them: 1.) There's no one way to lead. Milton was a dreamer; he wanted to build a worker's utopia. His people loved him. He ran his business with his heart. Mars was a tyrant with an obsession for quality. His people feared him, but he paid incredibly well and was driven to achieve excellence. He ran his business with his head. Don't lock your leaders (or yourself) into one leadership style. 2.
