         <title>The Secrets To Leadership Exposed</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/The-Secrets-To-Leadership-Exposed/200225</link>
         <description>Much has been written about leadership: rules, pointers, styles, and biographies of inspiring leaders throughout world history. 

But there are certain leadership ideas that we ourselves fail to recognize and realize in the course of reading books. Here is a short list of things you thought you knew about leadership. 

1. Leaders come in different flavors.

There are different types of leaders and you will probably encounter more than one type in your lifetime. Formal leaders are those we elect into positions or offices such as the senators, congressmen, and presidents of the local clubs. 

Informal leaders or those we look up to by virtue of their wisdom and experience such as in the case of the elders of a tribe, or our grandparents; or by virtue of their expertise and contribution on a given field such as Albert Einstein in the field of Theoretical Physics and Leonardo da Vinci in the field of the Arts. 

Both formal and informal leaders practice a combination of leadership styles.
- Lewin's three basic leadership styles ;authoritative, participative, and delegative
- Likert's four leadership styles ;** End Summary**&lt;p&gt;About the Author:&lt;br&gt;James Yee is the webmaster of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yeearticles.com&quot;&gt;

         <title>Gear Up Your Site for Social Media Marketing</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Gear-Up-Your-Site-for-Social-Media-Marketing/198417</link>
         <description>The year 2006 saw the emergence of social media. If you are engaged in operating a website, you must realign your site to exploit the popular social media sites for increased traffic. 

You should also introduce social media components to your site because web users are experiencing these new form of interactions in more and more sites and they may have an expectation of the same from your site also. 

If you want to attract repeat visitors and want them to stay longer, your focus this year should be on the social aspects of your site. 

Social media use technologies like RSS, blogging, podcasting, tagging, etc. and offer social networking (MySpace, Facebook), social video and picture sharing (YouTube, Flickr), and community-based content ranking (Digg, MiniClip) features. 

The central theme of these sites is user generated contents used for sharing among the end-users. The social aspects of these sites are to allow users to setup social communities, invite friends and share common interests. 

You don't have to change your site completely within a month or so to take advantages of these new technologies.** End Summary**&lt;p&gt;About the Author:&lt;br&gt;James Yee is the webmaster of

         <title>Be A Leader And Make It Happen</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Be-A-Leader-And-Make-It-Happen/196233</link>
         <description>When you are at work, do you get frustrated because things don't seem to be happening the way they're supposed to be? You see people milling around but nothing gets accomplished. And in the daily hustle and bustle, do you feel that your goals remain just that : goals. Then maybe its time for you to stand up and do something about it.

Most people are content just to stand around listening for orders. And it isn't unusual to adopt a follow-the-leader mentality. But maybe, somewhere inside of you, you feel the desire to make things happen; to be the head, not the tail. Then maybe leadership just suits you fine.

Some people believe that great leaders are made, not born. Yes, it may be true that some people are born with natural talents. However, without practice, without drive, without enthusiasm, and without experience, there can be no true development in leadership.

You must also remember that good leaders are continually working and studying to improve their natural skills. This takes a commitment to constantly improve in whatever endeavor a person chooses.

First of all, let's define leadership.** End Summary**&lt;p&gt;About the Author:&lt;br&gt;James Yee is the webmaster of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yeearticles.com&quot;&gt;

         <title>Life Mapping-A Vision Of Success</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Life-Mapping-A-Vision-Of-Success/196232</link>
         <description>Success is more than economic gains, titles, and degrees. Planning for success is about mapping out all the aspects of your life. Similar to a map, you need to define the following details: origin, destination, vehicle, backpack, landmarks, and route.

Origin: Who you are

A map has a starting point. Your origin is who you are right now. Most people when asked to introduce themselves would say, &quot;Hi, 'm Jean and I am a 17-year old, senior highschool student.&quot; It does not tell you about who Jean is; it only tells you her present preoccupation. 

To gain insights about yourself, you need to look closely at your beliefs, values, and principles aside from your economic, professional, cultural, and civil status. Moreover, you can also reflect on your experiences to give you insights on your good and not-so-good traits, skills, knowledge, strengths, and weaknesses. 

Upon introspection, Jean realized that she was highly motivated, generous, service-oriented, but impatient. Her inclination was in the biological-medical field. Furthermore, she believed that life must serve a purpose, and that wars were destructive to human dignity.

Destination: A vision of who you want to be

Who do want to be? this is your vision.** End Summary**&lt;p&gt;About the Author:&lt;br&gt;James Yee is the webmaster of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yeearticles.com&quot;&gt;

         <title>Unleash Your Creative Thinking</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Unleash-Your-Creative-Thinking/196231</link>
         <description>People seem to have the misconception that only a select few are able to unleash a steady flow of creative genius. That is not true at all. 

The fact is, creativity is very much like a muscle that needs to be exercised in order to consistently give out great results. If you don't practice harnessing creative thinking, this skill will very much atrophy into inexistence. But keep working and this skill will soon come to you in a snap.

So how do you unleash your creative thinking? Well, the first thing is to become a human leech. No, we're not talking about just sucking the blood out of every living being available, we're saying that you should take in as much knowledge and learning you can find. 

Read everything available -- good and bad, and keep your mind open to the infinite possibilities of the universe. The more you know, the more you'll want to know, and the more your faculty of wonder will be exercised. Prepare to be amazed at little facts that add a bit of color into your life. 

Focus on a creative activity everyday. Yes, it's an effort. Even doodling is a creative activity.** End Summary**&lt;p&gt;About the Author:&lt;br&gt;James Yee is the webmaster of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yeearticles.com&quot;&gt;

         <title>Relexation Is A Must For All</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Relexation-Is-A-Must-For-All/196230</link>
         <description>Stress is the curse of living in modern times. Everyone suffers from stress. And the stress we suffer takes a heavy toll on our bodies, emotions and minds. 

Feeling stressed out, worn out by fatigue or just simply having a miserable day, the best thing to do is relax. 

Watching television may be a form of relaxation for some, but is not a recommended method by experts. When we watch TV we are bombarded with commercials, ads, sounds and images. So how do we achieve relaxation? If there are thousands of ways we can get stressed, one of them is not meeting deadlines, there are also many ways we can relax.

In recent studies, experts have determined that heart disease is linked to anger and irritability is linked to mental stress. Too much stress brings about ischemia that can lead to or cause a heart attack. Relaxation takes on added importance in light of this matter. Managing your anger and attitude is significant to heart health, and relaxation can help you manage stress. 

One way of relaxation is transcendental meditation.** End Summary**&lt;p&gt;About the Author:&lt;br&gt;James Yee is the webmaster of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yeearticles.com&quot;&gt;

         <title>Tips On Spiritual Growth</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Tips-On-Spiritual-Growth/196228</link>
         <description>To grow spiritually in a world defined by power, money, and influence is a Herculean task. Modern conveniences such as electronic equipments, gadgets, and tools as well as entertainment through television, magazines, and the web have predisposed us to confine our attention mostly to physical needs and wants. 

As a result, our concepts of self-worth and self-meaning are muddled. How can we strike a balance between the material and spiritual aspects of our lives? 

To grow spiritually is to look inward.

Introspection goes beyond recalling the things that happened in a day, week, or month. You need to look closely and reflect on your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and motivations. 

Periodically examining your experiences, the decisions you make, the relationships you have, and the things you engage in provide useful insights on your life goals, on the good traits you must sustain and the bad traits you have to discard. Moreover, it gives you clues on how to act, react, and conduct yourself in the midst of any situation. 

Like any skill, introspection can be learned; all it takes is the courage and willingness to seek the truths that lie within you.** End Summary**&lt;p&gt;About the Author:&lt;br&gt;James Yee is the webmaster of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yeearticles.com&quot;&gt;

         <title>Law on Human Attraction</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Law-on-Human-Attraction/196227</link>
         <description>'Opposites attract' is a law of attraction, at least where electromagnetism is concerned. But are there laws about attraction between two people? 'In a world that is full of strangers' as a line in a famous song of the 1980's goes, is there a clear set of rules that allows two people to fall for each other? 

Is attraction a matter of chemistry?

Maybe. According to scientists, the attraction between animals of the opposite sex is all about chemicals called pheromones. The effect of pheromones in behavior of insects is the most studied to date. 

It has been observed, at least in some experiments, that pheromones are responsible for communication among same species and colony of ants. The horrible odor released by skunks to ward off enemies is said to be a kind of pheromone. Some species of apes rub pheromone-containing urine on the feet of potential mates to attract them. 

Some scientists believe that animals (usually the females) such as insects and mammals send out these chemical signals to tell the male of their species that their genes are different from theirs. This gene diversity is important in producing offspring with better chances of survival.** End Summary**&lt;p&gt;About the Author:&lt;br&gt;James Yee is the webmaster of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yeearticles.com&quot;&gt;

         <title>Herbal Supplements - The Ultimate Need For Our Body</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Herbal-Supplements---The-Ultimate-Need-For-Our-Body/196226</link>
         <description>Many people nowadays are turning to 'organics' and 'naturals' otherwise known as herbals. The rising popularity of herbal supplements has created a new fad if not a new health lifestyle. But before you join the bandwagon, here are some things you need to know about this mean, 'green' dietary supplementing machine.

What is the difference between a drug and a dietary supplement?

According to the definition set by food and drug administrations in different countries, drugs are chemicals that can prevent, prolong the life, treat other effects of a health condition, improve the quality of life, and/or cure ailments and diseases, or alter the function of any part or chemicals inside the body. These drugs have approved therapeutic claims. For example, paracetamol is a drug given to bring down the body temperature in fever. Ascorbic acid is indicated for the treatment of scurvy. Iron supplements are given to treat mild cases of anemia. 

Herbal supplements are not classified as drugs but as dietary supplements. The main difference is that they do not have approved therapeutic claims unlike in the case of drugs.** End Summary**&lt;p&gt;About the Author:&lt;br&gt;James Yee is the webmaster of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yeearticles.com&quot;&gt;

         <title>Stress Management Program</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Stress-Management-Program/186803</link>
         <description>We all have this favorite expression when it comes to being stressed out, and I wouldn't bother naming all of them since it may also vary in different languages. But when it comes down to it, I think that it is how we work or even relax, for that matter that triggers stress. Ever been stressed even when you're well relaxed and bored? I know I have.

Since Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. is unavoidable in life, it is important to find ways to decrease and prevent stressful incidents and decrease negative reactions to stress. Here are some of the things that can be done by just remembering it, since life is basically a routine to follow like brushing your teeth or eating breakfast. You can do a few of them in a longer span of time, but as they say - every minute counts.

Managing time

Time management skills can allow you more time with your family and friends and possibly increase your performance and productivity. This will help reduce your stress.

To improve your time management:

- Save time by focusing and concentrating, delegating, and scheduling time for yourself.** End Summary**&lt;p&gt;About the Author:&lt;br&gt;James Yee is the webmaster of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yeearticles.com&quot;&gt;

         <description>Life is like a road. There are long and short roads; smooth and rocky roads; crooked and straight paths. In our life many roads would come our way as we journey through life. There are roads that lead to a life of single blessedness, marriage, and religious vocation. There are also roads that lead to fame and fortune on one hand, or isolation and poverty on the other. There are roads to happiness as there are roads to sadness, roads towards victory and jubilation, and roads leading to defeat and disappointment. 

Just like any road, there are corners, detours, and crossroads in life. Perhaps the most perplexing road that you would encounter is a crossroad. With four roads to choose from and with limited knowledge on where they would go, which road will you take? What is the guarantee that we would choose the right one along the way? Would you take any road, or just stay where you are: in front of a crossroad? 

There are no guarantees.

You do not really know where a road will lead you until you take it. There are no guarantees.** End Summary**&lt;p&gt;About the Author:&lt;br&gt;James Yee is the webmaster of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yeearticles.com&quot;&gt;

         <description>Being in the affiliate marketing business is not that hard now with the internet at your disposable. It is much easier now compared to the days when people have to make use of the telephones and other mediums of information just to get the latest updates on the way their program is coming along.

So with technology at hand, and assuming that the affiliate is working from home, a day in his or her life would sound something like this,

Upon waking up and after having breakfast, the computer is turned on to check out new developments in the network. As far as the marketer is concerned there might be new things to update and statistics to keep track on.

The site design has to be revised. The marketer knows that a well-designed site can increase sign ups from visitors. It can also help in the affiliate's conversion rates.

That done, it is time to submit the affiliate program to directories that lists affiliate programs. These directories are means to attract people in joining your affiliate program. A sure way of promoting the affiliate program.

         <title>The Zens About Energy Healing</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/The-Zens-About-Energy-Healing/186792</link>
         <description>You have probably come across exotic-sounding terms such as 'chakra','prana', 'aura', and 'tantra' in your course of reading books on spirituality, sex, and healing in the New Age literature section of the bookstore. But what's the real scoop behind these exotic vocabularies?

Are All Energy Healings the Same?

Chakra or energy center is a term used in Pranic healing, an ancient Hindu system of energy healing. 'prana' means life energy. 'Aura' is another terminology traced to Pranic healing. Aura is a non-physical body that consists of energy, which exists along with our physical body. The aura that covers our body is said to have seven layers pertaining to the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of an individual as manifested by energy. Studying the color and thickness of auras give ideas on the state of health of individuals. Six colors are associated with aura and interpreted into six personalities. These colors are all present in an individual but one or two are more pronounced.** End Summary**&lt;p&gt;About the Author:&lt;br&gt;James Yee is the webmaster of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yeearticles.com&quot;&gt;

         <title>Enjoy Your Life-Change Your Point Of View</title>

         <description>&quot;Two men look out through the same bars: One sees the mud, and one sees the stars.&quot;- Frederick Langbridge, A Cluster of Quiet Thoughts 

If you've placed second in a writing contest, will you jump for joy and push for better results the next time or will you be discouraged and find an excuse not to join again? 

In life, you are always filled with choices. You may opt to have a pessimist's view and live a self-defeated life or you may decide to take the optimist's route and take a challenging and fulfilling life.

So why nurture an optimist's point of view? And why now?

Well, optimism has been linked to positive mood and good morale; to academic, athletic, military, occupational and political success; to popularity; to good health and even to long life and freedom from trauma.

On the other hand, the rates of depression and pessimism have never been higher. It affects middle-aged adults the same way it hits younger people. The mean age of onset has gone from 30 to 15. It is no longer a middle-aged housewife's disorder but also a teen-ager's disorder as well.** End Summary**&lt;p&gt;About the Author:&lt;br&gt;James Yee is the webmaster of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yeearticles.com&quot;&gt;

         <title>The Help Of Natural Medicine</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/The-Help-Of-Natural-Medicine/186780</link>
         <description>When you get sick, you go to the doctor. And the doctor will, of course, prescribe medicines. You will go and buy medicines. You take them, and hopefully, you get well. 

This is how the health profession goes on nowadays' a cycle of diagnosis and prescription.

If anyone were to give you herbs for medicine, you would probably say that that person was a quack.

But nowadays, studies are being conducted to see if there are really is any merit to what is called natural medicine.

Natural medicine is the use of natural methods, herbal medicines, and traditional practices to heal ailments. Every culture has a form of natural medicine. In ancient cultures, village medicine men served as the doctors of the community, passing on medical knowledge to the apprentices that followed them.

Many categories of the healing methods fall under natural medicine. Among these are traditional medicine, complementary medicine, and alternative medicine.

Usually, natural medicine refers to medical practices that were in place before the advent of modern medicine.

This includes herbal medicine, or phytotherapy, which is prevalent in Chinese, Ayurvedic(or Indian), and Greek medicine.** End Summary**&lt;p&gt;About the Author:&lt;br&gt;James Yee is the webmaster of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yeearticles.com&quot;&gt;

         <description>How many times have you caught yourself saying that there could be no other solution to a problem ;and that that problem leads to a dead end? How many times have you felt stumped knowing that the problem laying before you is one you cannot solve. No leads. No options. No solutions. 

Did it feel like you had exhausted all possible options and yet are still before the mountain ;large, unconquerable, and impregnable? When encountering such enormous problems, you may feel like you're hammering against a steel mountain. The pressure of having to solve such a problem may be overwhelming.

But rejoice! There might be some hope yet!

With some creative problem-solving techniques you may be able to look at your problem in a different light. And that light might just be the end of the tunnel that leads to possible solutions.

First of all, in the light of creative problem-solving, you must be open-minded to the fact that there may be more than just one solution to the problem. And, you must be open to the fact that there may be solutions to problems you thought were unsolvable.** End Summary**&lt;p&gt;About the Author:&lt;br&gt;James Yee is the webmaster of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yeearticles.com&quot;&gt;

         <title>The Powers of a Positive Attitude</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/The-Powers-of-a-Positive-Attitude/186774</link>
         <description>I am going to ask you to something very weird right now. First of all, I want you to listen to your thoughts. Now tell me, what thoughts fill your head? Would you label them as positive, or negative?

Now let's say you are walking down the street with these thoughts. Do you think anyone who would meet you would be able to tell you what's on your mind?

The answer to number one is up to you. But, the answer number two can be pretty generic. Although people will not be able to tell you exactly what you think, they will more or less have an idea of how you are feeling. 

Here's another question. When you enter a party filled with friends, do they all fall silent as if something terrible had happened? Or does everybody there perk up as if waiting for something exciting to happen?

You know what? The answer to all these depends on your frame of mind.

Thoughts are very powerful. They affect your general attitude. The attitude you carry reflects on your appearance, too ; unless, of course, you are a great actor.

And it doesn't end there.** End Summary**&lt;p&gt;About the Author:&lt;br&gt;James Yee is the webmaster of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yeearticles.com&quot;&gt;

         <title>Secrets About Coaching</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Secrets-About-Coaching/186773</link>
         <description>When you hear the word 'coach', what comes first into your mind? Do you picture a basketball team with a man/woman shouting out directions? Or perhaps a football team with a man/woman pacing to and fro and calling out the names of the players? 

Coaching is no longer reserved to sports teams; it is now one of the key concepts in leadership and management. Why is coaching popular?
 
Coaching levels the playing field.

Coaching is one of the six emotional leadership styles proposed by Daniel Goleman. Moreover, it is a behavior or role that leaders enforce in the context of situational leadership. As a leadership style, coaching is used when the members of a group or team are competent and motivated, but do not have an idea of the long-term goals of an organization. This involves two levels of coaching: team and individual. Team coaching makes members work together. In a group of individuals, not everyone may have nor share the same level of competence and commitment to a goal. A group may be a mix of highly competent and moderately competent members with varying levels of commitment. These differences can cause friction among the members.** End Summary**&lt;p&gt;About the Author:&lt;br&gt;James Yee is the webmaster of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yeearticles.com&quot;&gt;

         <title>Ten Ways To Start Taking Control</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Ten-Ways-To-Start-Taking-Control/186706</link>
         <description>At first glance, it would seem that positive thinking and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) have nothing to do with one another. But many of us with ADD develop negative thinking patterns because we become frustrated by our challenges and frequent feelings of being overwhelmed. This negative outlook then makes it even harder for us to manage those challenges and move forward. 

Practicing positive thinking allows people with ADD to focus on our strengths and accomplishments, which increases happiness and motivation. This, in turn, allows us to spend more time making progress, and less time feeling down and stuck. The following tips provide practical suggestions that you can use to help you shift into more positive thinking patterns:

1. Take Good Care of Yourself
It's much easier to be positive when you are eating well, exercising, and getting enough rest.

2. Remind Yourself of the Things You Are Grateful For
Stresses and challenges don't seem quite as bad when you are constantly reminding yourself of the things that are right in life. Taking just 60 seconds a day to stop and appreciate the good things will make a huge difference.

         <title>The Key to a Better Life</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/The-Key-to-a-Better-Life/186297</link>
         <description>Time management is basically about being focused. The Pareto Principle also known as the '80:20 Rule' states that 80% of efforts that are not time managed or unfocused generates only 20% of the desired output. However, 80% of the desired output can be generated using only 20% of a well time managed effort. Although the ratio '80:20' is only arbitrary, it is used to put emphasis on how much is lost or how much can be gained with time management. 

Some people view time management as a list of rules that involves scheduling of appointments, goal settings, thorough planning, creating things to do lists and prioritizing. These are the core basics of time management that should be understood to develop an efficient personal time management skill. These basic skills can be fine tuned further to include the finer points of each skill that can give you that extra reserve to make the results you desire.

But there is more skills involved in time management than the core basics. Skills such as decision making, inherent abilities such as emotional intelligence and critical thinking are also essential to your personal growth.

Personal time management involves everything you do.** End Summary**&lt;p&gt;About the Author:&lt;br&gt;James Yee is the webmaster of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yeearticles.com&quot;&gt;

         <title>Creating Effective and Efficient Relationships</title>

         <description>Relationships of all kinds are often perceived as very delicate things, that require extra effort to maintain. However, a relationship can also be something that can provide security and can also be long lasting despite many trials.

Building an effective and lasting relationships is a necessity for several reasons. For example in a group or organization, the well being of the people depends on how efficient and effective that group or organization works.

The group or organization is also dependent on how the members work well with the management. 

An ineffective group or organization can really be very frustrating. An effective group or organization can also ask so much on their members, that sometimes the members would be having no life outside the walls of the area where they work or sacrifice the other aspects of their life just to meet deadlines. For an organization or group with this kind of scenario, relationships can be stressed or suffer from breakdown.
 
People or other entities who depend on these groups or organization also suffer.
 
Society is defined as a web of relationships, which requires all parties to work and contribute their share in order to achieve a common goal.** End Summary**&lt;p&gt;About the Author:&lt;br&gt;James Yee is the webmaster of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yeearticles.com&quot;&gt;

         <title>Using Product Recommendations To Increase Your Bottom Line</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Using-Product-Recommendations-To-Increase-Your-Bottom-Line/177920</link>
         <description>In affiliate marketing, there are many ways in which you can increase your earnings and maintain the account that you have worked so hard for already. Most of the techniques and tactics can be learned easily. No need to go anywhere and any further. They are available online, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.

One of the more important ways of increasing affiliate marketing bottom line and sale is through the use of product recommendations. Many marketers know that this is one of the most effective ways in promoting a certain product. 

If the customers or visitors trust you enough, then they will definitely trust your recommendations. Be very careful in using this approach, though. If you start promoting everything by recommendation, your credibility will actually wear thin. This is seen especially when recommendations are seemingly exaggerated and without much merit. 

Do not be afraid to mention things that you do not like about a given product or service. Rather than lose any points for you, this will make your recommendation more realistic and will tend to increase your credibility.** End Summary**&lt;p&gt;About the Author:&lt;br&gt;James Yee is the webmaster of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yeearticles.com&quot;&gt;
