Political Leadership

Yin and YangBilanca makes life feel complete. You are not on either side or on both sides, but the spin and this is where the power comes iz.Sve opposing polarities called yin and yang. Despite the opponent, these two elements are dependent on each other. As an example, a male and female, or pleasure and pain, or life and death. These two opposing principles can not exist without the other. In human psychology, it is necessary to harmonize these two opposing energies. Our intellectual and emotional sides must be balanced, including work and family, or ambition, and recreation. In the same way, the balance in politics and business of government is crucial. The current government understands this concept, judging from the way we approach the current domestic and foreign affairs in države.Stanje gospodarstvaU policy and domestic politics for example, there is a deficit reduction as the main areas of discussion. President Obama was clear about what he prefers, and so do most Americans. The tax rises and expenditure cuts must be balanced. There is a need to cart off the service of those who require or depend on them, on the one hand, and they need a little better to sacrifice the other. Any of these mechanisms are not perfect, but deliver on the essential aspects of our nature. Many have seen the Simpson Bowles Commission is a major breakthrough regarding this pitanje.Što on foreign policy? From the beginning, Obama's position was to establish friendships wherever possible, including U.S. competitors. The President wants to forge improved relationships in all parts of the world in which threats to the United States were present. He even considers providing support for them when needed. Because of its "therapeutic" foreign policy, a large number of Republicans chastised Obama, but on the other side of this approach to foreign policy president. Under Obama's watch and direct command, seriously increased drone attacks in Afghanistan Pakistan border area. As concluded Scott Shane and Jo Becker of The New York Times, liberal supporters and conservative critics have confused and confounded the President Obama's aggressive counterterrorism rekord.Yin and Yang in the state posloveAmerički balanced yin and yang approach to its relationship to the world its readiness to offer friendship until ready to use deadly force when necessary. One side is attacked by the Republicans, saying they want more aggressiveness and assertiveness, not less, but not taking into account all the diplomacy.

Great Advancements


Any great ideas, inventions and innovations started with the idea. Often, those with the innovative ideas were considered dreamers, or unrealistic, or rocking the boat. However, we would have the power, if Edison succumb to the naysayers, we would not have phones if Bell was disturbed by those who do not share his vision. Do not forget that the whole PC industry might have developed much differently when IBM decided to buy Bill Gates operating system, but it simply borrowed. If Steve Jobs is a conventional thinker, imagine how different the Apple company could have evolved. Think about the incredible story of companies like Facebook, founded by daring to predict things differently. Robin Sharma wrote: "Every great advancement was once nothing more than a dream in the mind of a visionary."

First Have you ever been a member of the board of any kind? I remember when I joined the Board of the institution for the first time more than thirty years, and had difficulty with the status quo mentality of most of the existing board. I decided it was important for me to stand up for their ideals, and become an independent leader in the tradition of Don Quixote, but the same old, same old pseudo-leader who is actually little more than glorified do-little follower. The first few times I brought up doing something different, I was the sole supporter of my measures sixty-six among the board members. As I insisted and insisted, I often called the problem machine and unrealistic. Rather than discourage me, I redoubled my efforts and my year-end loss limits are narrowed to only about fifty to sixteen. I took a few years later began to change policies and / or modify it, though, other, of course, scurried for the credit for their innovations. Ten years later, when I moved from the area, organizations my recognition of my efforts, and I realized that my perseverance is essential to maintain and even the existence of this group.

Second Sometimes innovation simply be ready to open one's eyes and look at alternatives. Great leaders often need to innovate to achieve the desired results. Most of us are not innovations in the way that Einstein, Edison and Bell did, but on smaller scales (or at least different levels), a true leader is one who, as the late President John F. Kennedy famously said: "... see things as they are and ask why. see things as they should be, and ask why not. "This job is a true leader has the vision that results in its organization more relevant, and progress toward achieving its primary mission.

Leadership should be about constant innovation in the areas that need it, and simply tweaking the others, while at the same time maintain the necessary heritage and traditions. Are you cut out to be a true leader?

With more than 30 years of consultative sales, marketing, training, management and operations experience, Richard Brody has trained sales and marketing people in numerous industries, given hundreds of seminars, appeared as a spokesman for the company to more than 200 radio and television programs. He has negotiated, arranged and organized hundreds of adventures.

Leadership Case Study


Leadership is hard work, so it is taking hits for his team's backup when they are wrong, or when they are in the cross hairs of those who wish them ill. Of course, it's easy to simply take the advice of Machiavelli "The Prince" and sacrifice the general to save face, but in the end to reduce the team and the other generals seem hesitant to make decisions. It also destroys the hard-earned capital organization. This is a real catch-22.

To mitigate the persnickety "peanut gallery" and the media, or stand behind your team and your generals through thick and thin - like I said, it's not easy to maintain. Ok, so let's talk about the example here, a case study, if you will. You see, Washington Technology Online Magazine recently ran a piece titled "GSA chief's resignation awakens sympathy, hope for reform," David Hubler and Alysha sideman released third April 2012 which stated;

"Johnson has resigned along with two senior assistant inspector general's after the release of a report detailing close to $ 1 million in lavish spending GSA employees in the 2010 Western Region Conference in Las Vegas, including a contractor breaking the rules - in the current fiscal environment and the current political environment, this is a time when government agencies like the GSA to the agency that can deliver efficiency in the collection and can enhance its role as a central purchasing organization and demonstrate its value to the rest of the country. "

Well, I would say that we must be careful not to let knee-jerk reactions based on media events, social networks, or criticisms of the week in order to undermine the government. These things happen in the army and we hang out to dry captains, commanders and move great Americans because the media ran with the story and went out of proportion. If we allow such things to happen, no one will feel safe and backed-up, now what is happening in our schools, too, with no backup administrators to teachers during a disciplinary event.

Having lost confidence in the chain of command breaks down. This is one of the challenges the populist style of leadership motif. Making examples of people every time the media drums up controversy - well, it happens every day, therefore, no one is safe, it only causes people to fear for anything, it is no way to run government, business, or any organization.

When people are afraid to make decisions for fear that it could be the next head on a platter or a sacrificial lamb - nothing gets done and hesitation can be problematic dilemma of state bureaucrats, just as it can break the fluidity of command and control of Prince's army. Okay so, please consider all this and think of him.

Good Manager


Management and leadership are aligned

Basically anyone can be a good manager. Management of such skills can be learned. Learning proper technique makes the process, projects or reportings easily done. With the right focus and effectiveness, management work can be completed easily. It is the science of management, technical aspect. However, the manager should also worry about leadership. This is typically a question of management vs. leadership.

A good manager

However, management and leadership should not be in conflict, because these two aspects must be coordinated for a truly successful achievement of objectives. Management is doing what right, and leadership is about doing the right thing. Management is about process, leadership is about people. First, let's dissect each of these two tasks. You're a good manager, if:

You constantly monitor others
You can check your child WORK check whether they are done properly
You care a lot about work or how much time it is taking
A good leader

How is this different from leadership? In the lead:

You can work through other, but your followers are responsibility for what they do, while at the same time when your leadership

To be a leader, you must have followers. You should be influential enough to attract people to follow you.

Do not micro-manage, such as constant monitoring and double checking your child WORK
Listen to what people are saying, or even on their message between the lines
Delegate tasks to subordinates
Coach your employees
When you listen to your employees, listen to their needs. Be open to your thoughts, ideas and suggestions for improvement. Also, clearly communicate their vision, goals and objectives of their people, too. Relationships and establish a relationship with them. Join the discussion in our employees and make them feel important. Coaching your employees means that you can work with them. Guide them to maximize their potential so that they become people you and the company needs to be.

As a leader, you are a person who takes responsibility. To be good, you must be a person of good character. Great character makes a good leader. Characters that begins with your core values ​​clarified. Do you have core values, honesty and sincerity? How much are you willing to abide by them?

Successful leadership needs you to be a leader with courage elegant. Elegant Courage is the clarity of its fundamental values ​​and to resolve to put their core values, both good and bad times. From elegant courage, you can be sure your leadership, because of these virtues that all other essential virtues born.

The Inspirational


Leadership motivation and inspiration

Leadership is inspiring, motivating and influencing people to act or to move towards achieving the goal. Motivating and influencing people require skills of persuasion, but the inspiration is another matter. Wealth, prestige, status, or any tangible rewards are good motivation. You can also affect people by presenting them attractive benefits. Under these drives to motivate and influence, however, is an inspiration. His source of inspiration because it is pure, joy, happiness that makes a person do something. You can not fake joy or happiness, because they manifest the inner light.

Some leaders seek help from a leadership coach to make them more inspiration. Leaders who inspire more effective. Since leadership is often the position of authority or power, a lot of heads are blunt and assertive in their leadership. Many followers can get intimidated by such a simple approach to leadership, and they do not believe that it is inspiring.

Assertiveness in the lead

What seems to be uncomfortable with the powerful leader of the lack of sensitivity. However, assertiveness, when done right, can be inspiring as well. It's usually not that assertiveness frightens people, but aggression. Assertiveness and aggressiveness should not be confused with the other. Assertiveness refers to the presence and confident expression. Aggression, on the other hand, is aimed at "winning", even if it means inflicting or imposing some kind of harm to other people. Apparently, the aggressiveness makes people back off, but quiet confidence they inspire.

Being assertive is satisfied, that is exuding positivity. This is what people can find inspiration. People who are willing to speak up can be triggered by a stronger leader who can freely express your feelings, emotions and beliefs. Tenacious leader who speaks and fights for their cause can be inspiring for people who feel oppressed. Aggressiveness is another matter. Often, this entails negative forces due to too much or unreasonable persistence.

Empathy and sensitivity

Assertiveness is an important feature of leadership. Mild and moderate leaders, though appealing to some, would have a lasting and profound effect. Being assertive means that you give a little "push" when dealing with their followers. Call a gentle pressure, anyway, but it creates an impression. You must communicate with confidence that inspiring leader, which is why you must be persistent. But what makes inspirational leadership assertiveness is really effective in combination with sensitivity and empathy. You can communicate with its people, establish relationships and warm at the same time to understand their needs and what motivates them.

Assertive leader can go a long way, but if you feel you need more help in developing assertiveness skills, you can ask for help from a mentor or coach leadership.

Leadership Coaching


Success starts from the

Success is up to the top. It's like climbing up to reach his goal. Within you, you have to collect energy, to use its resources and maximize their potential. Conglomerating his strength and determination of their abilities and capabilities is the first step in their venture.

We go to school as children, and all through high school and college to be what we want to be. Lawyer, doctor, manager, politician, and so on. We ourselves are educated and trained to be a mold that people want to be successful. It's like climbing a ladder. There will be an opposing force on the way up, that's why you need to be resolved and you must be very equipped to overcome obstacles. Outside forces often prevent us to achieve our goals. But, above all, before we focus on the external forces that could stop his plans, take a good look at what's inside you. How is your attitude? Success comes from within.

Be aligned with them

Your worst enemy is ourselves. So, by all means, do not be angry. If you want to accomplish your goals, you must have a solid self esteem. You must have integrity in his character. You need to be aligned with them.

People with low self-esteem are usually caught up in negative self talk and self-destructive habits. Negative self talk and self destruction are definitely a major blunders. It's like slowly killing. Negative self talk is the opposite force to impose on themselves, and that prevents you from achieving their full potential.

Everything comes from our thoughts. What we think leads us to feel and act. What do you think it will eventually manifest in your life. You can create your life. You have the power to create life, and it begins with election authorities.

The Power of Positive Thinking

You can not start on a large scale, but start with selecting the thoughts you think. Positive thinking is correct, because positive thoughts are a hundred times more powerful than negative thoughts. Can you believe you can. It is generally not as easy as that, but you can only truly feel the power of positive thinking when you have gained clarity in yourself.

Find elegant courage. What is elegant courage? It is the clarity of its fundamental values ​​and that the decision to meet with them, both in good times and bad times. Core values, honesty and sincerity gives an elegant courage. First instill courage in itself, because it is the seed from which all other bit values ​​are born. You have to make their way to the top and be successful.

Leader Really


Perception is reality? Maybe. Interestingly enough, I got the idea for the writing of this statement (original article from businessinsider.com requires dedication hard way) about the qualities of leadership the president needs to show ... No, but show. I certainly do not want to think that I respect the coach's job to be the President, but all leaders must think about how we are perceived.

5 actions you can take to demonstrate that we are reliable leader

Convinced, by not arrogant. Our teams need to know that we believe in what we teach them in our coaching philosophy and the direction of the team. We must show them that believe in themselves and their abilities. On the other hand, we can not be the coach who has a credit for the wins and losses for these charges.

Open, but no flip flopper. A good leader is confident enough and aware enough to appreciate the feedback from the assistant coaches and also the team leader. While we should remain open to advice, we also get to know what we stand for. We do not want an assistant to the proposal to agree enthusiastically, and then when our second contributor proposal offers exactly the opposite ... I enthusiastically agree with them as well!

Visionary, but practical. I think it's great to be innovative and forward-thinking. I sometimes feel that too many of us coaches do things because that's how things are always done. Thinking outside the box can be a great thing ... but we've got to make sure that we are rooted in practicality is what is best for the team.

Personally disciplined but not rigid. I am a planner by nature. I always have a backup plan for my plan in case the original plan does not work. I think our teams have to see that we have a game plan for the season and for every opponent ... but also to see that we will not be stubborn and stick with a plan that clearly is not working.

Are you ready for the crisis, but not kept up at night worrying. The crisis can happen during a player's career. You may have suffered serious injuries late in the season, or a parent becomes ill, or their grades are putting them in danger of getting booted out of school. Whatever it is, we must know the right people to guide them to answers. I hope the knowledge that we are not the end all be all of the answers will keep us from turning worry wart. Constantly worrying and trust can not live in the same person, and we must show our team that we are confident leaders.

I think we must be seen as a leader before our teams will feel comfortable after us. I thought that these "presidential" qualities will be a good place to start!
