Great Leadership Ideas from Irene Becker

Good bosses, bad bosses, productive bosses can all learn to be better leaders, but the litmus test of 21st century leadership is not about learning to  lead better, it is about learning to think, communicate, collaborate and LEAD differently.

Best practices are made in the now. Leadership development that rests upon what worked in the past may be impotent tomorrow. The imperative to create NEW leaders and to champion new and better ways of developing leadership, learning and life skills that grow, expand in disruptive times is real and critical.  GREAT leadership is about using what is to create what can be in ourselves and in those we lead and serve.

¨

Self-Confidence, The Secret to Your Success

Self-confidence is the only exit, from your present season.¨ -- Mike Murdock

Self-confidence is believing that you should be celebrated for your uniqueness. Self-confidence is a POWER that determines what you attract, or repel.  Self-confidence is knowing that you belong.  Self-confidence destroys doubt, intimidates your enemies, and inspires your friends.  Self-confidence has everything to do with the future that you create for yourself.  Self-confidence is not arrogance or cockiness, but an inner recognition of your greatness.

Your self-confidence is something that is perceived by others; it is transmitted through the air.

"Myles Munroe's Last Message Before His Death

Dr. Myles Munroe's Last message before his death

Late Dr. Myles Munroe

In what is being described as a message he delivered shortly before he and eight others were killed in a fiery jet crash Sunday, prominent evangelical preacher and motivational speaker Myles Munroe spoke ominously of dying by accident and being "unnecessary" to his ministry.

In a video clip posted on YouTube described as "Myles Munroe's Message Shortly Before His Death," Munroe told leaders: "The greatest act of leadership is what happens in your absence. If everything you've done died with you, you are a failure. True leadership is measured by what happens after you die."

Three principles of military strategy, for Successful Life & Business

There are many similarities between business and war. In both cases, the victor is the one who uses superior strategy against his or her competition.

There are three principles of military strategy you can apply to your work every single day. The first idea from the military is called the Principle of Maneuver. The principle of maneuver says that you should be clear about the goal, but be flexible about the process of achieving it. According to the Menninger Institute, this quality of flexibility is the most important single quality that you will require for success in times of rap id change.

5 Reasons You Should Buy an Electric Car

5 Reasons You Should Buy an Electric Car

I was at a friend’s 33rd birthday party a few months ago, when I noticed something in his garage. It looked something like a spaceship on wheels. So I asked him, “What’s that?” He said, “It’s an electric car!”
In a moment, I was in love. I really believe, for the first time, I experienced love at first sight. Granted, I already had two cars, but I knew in that instant that I would be adding one more vehicle to the mix.

Six reasons to become an entrepreneur

by  Erin K. Casey

John was 53 when the bad news hit: His department was being moved offshore. Since joining the company eight years earlier, he had worked his way up to a solid position in middle management with a decent salary and great benefits. Now, he was out of a job.

Having spent his entire adult life in corporate positions, he knew he could go job hunting. But this was the fifth time he’d had a “secure” position shot out from under him, whether through downsizing, restructuring or other reorganization. With a wife and two teenagers to clothe and feed, he was no longer willing to trust his future to this game of corporate roulette. It was time to go into business for himself.

The Chairman of Zinox Group

Stan Ekeh: To Make Name for Yourself as Entrepreneur, You Have to Cause Disruption in the System

Chief Leo Stan Ekeh, Chairman, Zinox Group, has carved a niche as an entrepreneur fired up by the desire to make a significant difference in a sector dominated by international companies. Ekeh, who spoke on the Fidelity SME Forum shared his perspectives on winning in a market dominated by international brands

What various lines of business are Zinox into right now?

Zinox as a company has a history of 14 years in business. But we’ve been in business for 26 years. I started as a very small entrepreneur. The Zinox group is the largest ICT group in sub-Saharan Africa. We are into ICT products manufacturing, distribution, upscale core technology solutions and support and more. But let me start from the first company: Task System. When I came into this country, I had to create a little bit of disruption in the system because the economy was an IBM-driven economy, so I came with Apple Macintosh. I launched Apple in the country about 24 years ago and we computerised all the media and multi-media houses in the country, including the book publishing houses nationwide. After this first disruptive move, we moved to offer solutions to the oil and gas sector of the economy and it was at this point that Steve Job enhanced the Graphics interface of Apple with User interface which limited it initially from being used in the corporate sector as an alternative to IBM, and that gave me the impetus to expand into the rare corporate sector.

Brendan Eich

There has been much celebration and consternation over the forced resignation of Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich.

Much of the commentary reflects surprise at the firing.

This sort of incident should surprise no one. It’s just one more indication among many that effective 21^st century leadership is quite distinct from familiar, 20^th century norms.

As Eich acknowledged in his departure statement, he could no longer be an “effective leader” under the circumstances.

The Quality Life -By- Stephen R. Covey

The Quality Life
By Stephen R. Covey
The secret life is the key to a quality life and that in turn is the key to a quality culture, products, and services. Once in New York City, I attended the Broadway play, The Secret Garden. The play was particularly poignant for me that evening because my mother had just died.
The Tony Award winning musical is the story of a young girl whose mother and father die of cholera in India as the play begins. She is sent to live with her uncle in a large British manor. The old house is filled with romantic spirits. As the restless girl explores the grounds of the estate, she discovers the entrance to the magical secret garden, a place where anything is possible.

Minister of State for Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr. Samuel Ortom has revealed the Federal Government's plans to roll out made-in-Nigeria vehicles into the market next month, June 2014.

"The automotive policy is derived from the National Industrial Revolution Plan, and we are happy with the response we have been getting from the automotive industry worldwide; and with your coming, it shows that this policy is working. When the policy was introduced, people criticised it and most of them do not understand the benefit of the policy. We have had several stakeholders from the automotive industry approaching us to set up assembly plants and spare parts plants in the country. I want to assure up you on behalf of the government that we will do everything to make sure the policy succeeds.” the minister said

Meanwhile the first set of Peugeot cars assembled here in Nigeria would be reeled out next month, says Managing Director, Peugeot Automobile Nigeria Limited, Mr Ibrahim Boyi. He said this was made possible due to the Auto policy placed by the government.

Leadership Secrets of Massimo Ferragamo, Chairman, Ferragano, USA

Massimo Ferragamo, Chairman

Ferragamo USA

Overview

Select the best people for every key position, and give them the authority necessary to do their jobs.

“I believe in trying to master and develop the science of selecting the right people within an organization,” says Massimo Ferragamo, “and consequent to that, to be able to delegate and make them responsible and the owners of what they are in charge of. When you entrust someone and give them responsibility, you are automatically handing over a piece of the company. It’s up to him or her to live up to that ownership.

“As our company was prospering and growing, I think we selected the best people for every key position, and we gave them all the authority necessary to do their jobs. More recently, we selected a president for our company who was put into place, as I became chairman. I also formed an executive committee with all of our top reports that meets regularly and acts strongly together working as a team.

“The most important thing in selecting the right people is to first have a clear understanding of their backgrounds, experience, and successes in previous companies, including their reputations in their industry. On top of this, it is essential to fit their strengths to the position they will assume in the company.

“For this process, there are outside companies who specialize in helping you determine this. In general, for me, the three most important criteria are: a person of high ethics, a strong business mind, and someone who takes pleasure in the development of others.

“Some of the characteristics required to be a good leader include being a team player, a coach, a strong people person; having a clear focus for the task at hand and the capability of convincing others. If you like people, like to see others prosper, and enjoy working in a team, you might have the right qualities and can be a great leader.

“I think ultimately a great leader must be a people person. If you don’t have that quality, you might get away with it for a few years, but for an all-around leader it is a necessary quality. I also suggest putting yourself at the service of the team, because it’s the team who wins, not the coach.

“I don’t know if good leadership is something you can learn, but you can get better at it. Also, one should remember that every day is a new learning process, and that you never stop learning.” 

7 Must Read Success Secrets from Henry Ford, ......continued from last episode

5. Nothing is Particularly Hard

“Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs.”

Henry Ford said, “There are no big problems; there are just a lot of little  

problems.”  When you think about it…you see how true this is, nothing is really “that  

hard.”  You climb a mountain one step at a time; the individual steps aren’t hard;  

the hard part is being consistent. Eat your elephant one bite at a time, and one day it will be all gone.

6. Keep Your Eye on the Prize

“Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.”

Never take your eyes off your goal!  It is the goal that motivates; it is the goal  

that gives you the strength to keep going.  You must consistently see what you want  

to be.  You must see the goal as complete; you must experience the goal as  

accomplished in your imagination.

7. Think!

“Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few  

engage in it.” Thinking is how you prepare, it’s the hard work, it’s where you figure out the little  

nuances and “make ready” your plans.  Ford said, “Before everything else, getting  

ready is the secret of success.”  Are you ready?  Are you thinking?

Thinking is the hard work, but someone’s gotta do it, someone’s gotta get ready to  

succeed! Thank you for reading and be sure to pass this article along!

7 Must Read Success Secrets from Henry Ford

7 Must Read Success Secrets from Henry Ford

Henry Ford was a remarkable man who founded the Ford Motor Company; he was also the

creator of the assembly line.  In October of 1908 Ford introduced the “Model T”

automobile and single-handedly revolutionized the transportation industry as well as

the American industry.

Ford was an amazing inventor who was awarded 161 U.S. patents and amassed one of the

world’s largest fortunes, most of which he left to the Ford Foundation.

Today I want to talk about seven amazing success lessons from Henry Ford the inventor

and pioneer!

7 Must Read Success Lessons from Henry Ford:

1. Serve Others

“A business absolutely devoted to service will have only one worry about profits.

They will be embarrassingly large.”

The secret to success lies in serving others!  All successful people serve, the

greater the success, the greater the service.  Wealth is created from service, wealth

only comes from service.  Ford said, “Wealth, like happiness, is never attained when

sought after directly. It comes as a by-product of providing a useful service.”  Who

are you serving?

2. Focus

“There is no man living that can not do more than he thinks he can.”

You are completely unaware of your potential, because you’ve never focused all of

your efforts on one task.  You spend an hour of your day doing this, three hours

doing that, but you never focus all of your attention to one assignment.

When you focus your life, impossibilities become possibilities.  Get focused, you can

do more than you think you can!

3. Be Productive

“It has been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that others

waste.”

We all have 24 hours in our day, yet some succeed while others fail.  Why is this?

The reason is because some successfully control their day, while others are

controlled by their day.  Some dictate where their day goes, while other’s let their

day dictate where they go.

If you fail, you will fail because you failed to make excellent use of your time, if

you succeed, you will have succeeded in mastering your time!  Are you mastering your

time?

4. Solve Problems

“Most people spend more time and energy going around problems than in trying to solve

them.”

You will only be rewarded for the problems that you solve for other people.  Are you

solving any problems?  If you solve big problems you will receive big rewards, if you

solve little problems, then you will receive little rewards.  If you solve problems

for a few people, then your payment will be small, if you solve problems for the

masses, then you will become rich.

Don’t waste your time going around problems, solve them!

Dream Big: Live Your Life without Limits -Chiugo A. Josephat-Nwokolo

Chiugo A. Josephat-Nwokolo

Dream Big: Live Your Life without Limits

The basic rule for success is for you to continue to remind yourself that you are where you are, and what you are because of yourself. You are in your current situation because you have decided to be there. You have made the individual choices and decisions that have gotten you to your current place in life. If you want to go somewhere else or be someone else, it is totally up to you to make the choices and decisions today that will eventually get you there. And there are no limits.

Positive Thinking Will Change Your Life

Here is another rule: “If you want your life to get better, you have to get better.” This simply means that your outer world will be a reflection of your inner world. If you want your outer world to improve, you must go to work on improving your inner world.

If you want to have better customers and more sales, you must become a better and more personable salesperson. If you want to have better employees, you must become a better manager. If you want to have better children, you must become a better parent. And if you want to have better relationships, you must become a better person. The great tragedy is that the world is full of people who are trying to change the outside world without going to work on the one thing that they can control, their own thinking!

Change Your Thinking

Here is another rule: “If you change the quality of your thinking, you change the quality of your life.” And since you can change the quality of your thinking almost infinitely, there are no limits on how you can change and improve every part of your life, in any direction you want to go.

There is a lot of talk today about “positive thinking,” and I think that positive thinking is very important. It is much better for you to think positively about yourself and your possibilities than for you to think negatively. But the danger is that positive thinking can quickly turn into positive wishing and hoping. Positive wishing and hoping can turn a person into a very optimistic and happy failure. Abraham Mallow said that the story of the human race is the story of men and women selling themselves short, and settling for far less than that for which they are capable. Don’t let this happen to you.

The Power of Positive Knowing

What is better than positive thinking is “positive knowing.” This is where you take the steps and do the things that bring you to the point where you absolutely know, with complete certainty, that you can achieve your goals and be the kind of success that it is possible for you to be. When you reach the point of positive knowing, no matter what happens in the outside world, even if you lose everything you have acquired, you will make it all back again, and more, because you know how to do it in the first place.

I want to share some ideas with you that have been very helpful to me and to many thousands of other highly successful men and women. These are all ways of thinking and looking at your world that will enable you to become a far more optimistic, confident, and creative individual in everything you do. These are simple, powerful, proven techniques that you can use to throw off your self-imposed limits and begin moving toward the realization of your full potential.

Dream Big, You Have No Limits

The starting point of great success and achievement has always been the same. It is for you to, “dream big dreams.” There is nothing more important, and nothing that works faster than for you to cast off your own limitations and begin dreaming and fantasizing about the wonderful things that you can become and have and do.

A wise man once said, ” You must dream big dreams for only big dreams have the power to move the minds of men.” When you begin to dream big dreams, your level of self-esteem and self-confidence will increase immediately. Your self-image improves. You feel more positivel about yourself and your ability to deal with whatever happens to you. The reason so many people accomplish so little is because they never allow themselves to let go and just imagine the kind of life that is possible for them.
