- Do You Have Hidden Talent? - How You Can Make It Visible
By: Trevor Hill | - Have you ever fantasised about having an invisibility cloak? Then you could wrap yourself, Harry Potter style, and sneak unseen into privileged places. What secrets you could discover!
Of course you would want to take the cloak off sometimes - when you wanted to be noticed. It would be miserable to be excluded because you couldn't be seen.
Actually the invisibility cloak is not just the stuff of fantasy and fairy tales - we all have one. We wear it when we want to merge ...

- Inspiration Through Leadership
By: gregspin | - There are many ways to measure our success in life. Some see it as the attainment of wealth and accumulation material things. Others might say raising a happy family is the most important thing to which we humans can aspire. The point is, we're all different, we all have unique viewpoint and there's really no right or wrong answer. There is something that the majority of us do have in common, however, and that's the desire to be looked up to, respected and to give happiness and fulfilment to oth ...

- Managing Expectations When The Honeymoon Is Over
By: Leanne Faraday Brash | - Barack Obama was inaugurated as President of the United States amid much emotion hope and optimism by those who saw to it that he was elected to that lofty position.
If one studies his famous acceptance speech upon learning he would become President with the speech he made on Inauguration Day, the contrast is striking and relevant to all of us who lead change. His "Yes We Can" campaign stirred, inspired and seduced his people and for the record I believe he is authentic in his desir ...

- 5 Ways To Become A Better Boss
By: vicky | - Just today I read a statement by Harold S. Geneen that really got me thinking. He says that leadership is practiced not so much in words as in attitude and in actions. A woman I know who was assigned to a key administrative position, had the habit of drowning herself in a sea of fancy words, but was unable to earn the respect of her staff. Her eloquence was impressive, though.
The problem was that nobody was buying it. Based on this declaration by Mr. Geneen, people still tend to p ...

By: Ken Keis | - "Men make history, and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better."

- Manifesting Solutions To Your Problems And Pressures/manifesting Leadership Through The Heart
By: Rijuta Tooker | - Leading with heart-power seems a timid way of doing business to many, but when you are actually manifesting leadership through your heart, you are stepping into your own highest power, the power of your soul.
We all have roles of leadership that we are called upon to fulfill every day, but are we manifesting our leadership through our heart? One of the greatest opportunities to be a good leader is that of a mother or father. As we move out in our circle of influence, we become lea ...

- The Real Journey To Success
By: John Kenworthy | - Every bookstore has a section filled with the latest and greatest books on 'instant success' and how it can be yours by buying this book. The front cover picture promises you a smiling and happy and wealthy future and the long kept secret is now yours, just by opening the page.
After 35 years life experience, I thought to bring you some rather bad news: "There are no short-cuts to your success".
Sorry. Myths and legends abound, but to paraphrase Seth Godin in Permis ...

- Conscious Political Leadership - The Law Of Attraction Leader
By: Anisa Aven | - The Law of Attraction leader is one that aligns with intentional, conscious living but also understands that change cannot occur without action. Action, on the part of constituents or subordinates, will not occur without respect. Thus, a leader that is aligned with inspiring action must first inspire respect.
Respect is not something that is given solely based on tenure, testimonials, or talking points. Respect is earned when a leader takes the time to know, understand, and incorp ...

- How Can You Recession-proof Your Business?
By: Kate Mercer | - How are you feeling about the downturn? Governments may not yet officially have declared a recession, but the media and millions of ordinary people have. A knee jerk response for many businesses is to 'batten down the hatches', cut budgets and let people go.
But no matter what the economic climate, people will still buy what they want and need. The real battleground will be the value people see they are getting for what they spend. And the winners will be companies who take the op ...

If you were to place a tick next to these characteristics if you associated them with great leaders, the chances are that you would tick most of them. They are after all the typical things that most of us associate with leadership.

- Every Failure Is An Opportunity In Disguise
By: Richard Saldan | - As much as we would all love to live an easy life with endless resources and finances, most people might admit that life would be pretty monotonous if there were no obstacles or failures. Evidence of this might be seen by watching the celebrity gossip television programs, where the rich and famous of Hollywood seem to bounce from one crisis to another, seemingly bored of living the good life. How many times have you watch such stories in the news, and thought what you would do to benefit humanit ...

By: Amelia Johnson | - The news is usally full of the failings of our celebrities or people in high places.

By: Annette Estes | - One of the best books on leadership is Good to Great by Jim Collins. Collins researched a number of companies that were able to sustain outstanding growth over a period of 15 years while their competitors grew moderately, stayed flat, or lost money.
In all cases, the CEOs of those companies were men with humility and small egos who put the organizations needs above their own. They took the blame when things went wrong and gave credit to others when things went right. Collin ...

- Why Social Deficit Is Expensive And What You Can Do About It
By: Lewis Frees PhD | - Have you ever wondered about the true cost is exacted by the people in your company who regularly leave bad relationship tracks? According to a recent report, almost 80% of employees believe, to paraphrase the late Rodney Dangerfield, that "they get no respect" at work. Sixty percent of those think the situation is getting worse. Twenty percent of employees say they are victims of incivility on a weekly basis. One in eight employees ends up leaving because they experience rudeness. The aver ...

There is, however, one requirement above all that determines success or failure, leader ...

By: Jim Owens PMP | - Leadership
In the first half of the 20th century there was a belief that Scientific Management was the new way forward. Scientific Management was the herald of a new era, removing the need for skilled craftsmen, for example on Henry Ford's production lines, and making the factory owners richer. The principle was simple; reduce complicated tasks to a series of simple tasks, each task being performed by a different person. People were treated as machines and doomed to boring, repeti ...

- The Right People
By: William Frank Diedrich | - Great leaders surround themselves with great and skillful people. Jim Collins, author of Good to Great, and his team researched what it takes for organizations to achieve greatness. He identified great companies and found that they all had the same kind of leadership. These leaders were usually humble, yet passionate about the business they were in. Unlike many of the celebrity CEO's of today, they were ambitious for their organization to succeed, rather than ambitious for themselves.

- Position Vs Stand: A "mind Shift" For Visionary Leaders
By: Michael Skye | - Today's visionary leaders who are making this shift in thinking, from a "position" to a "stand" are inspiring themselves, their team and even their adversaries to greatness. These visionaries have the power to create a world that works for all of us.

- Leadership & Teamwork
By: Kim Olver | - Strong, positive teamwork is defined by a leader who has a vision and the ability to inspire his or her team to work toward the realization of that vision.
The leader is not threatened in the least by the expertise and diversity of his or her team. Rather, a good team leader engages his or her teammates in a discussion about what quality looks like, what is needed to perform and complete the job, and empowers the team members to always strive for quality improvement.
