How effective are your leadership skills?
Help Others Achieve Personal Excellence...
How Are You As A Coach?
By definition, a manager is one who gets things done through others. Your job is to do whatever you can to assist other people in accomplishing their tasks to the best of their abilities. As an effective manager, it is your job to do everything you can to help others succeed. Focus first on your support of others today, then on their production."We all have ability. The difference is how we use it
"The chief executive who knows his strengths and weaknesses as a leader is likely to be far more effective than the one who remains blind to them. He also is on the road to humility -- that priceless attitude of openness to life that can help a manager absorb mistakes, failures, or personal shortcomings
The truth is, you won't accomplish much by yourself. You need the contribution, cooperation and commitment of others to move your dreams and goals off the page and into your life. When leading, managing and directing others, your primary responsibility is to do whatever you can to help them accomplish their tasks—to the best of their abilities—in as short a period of time as possible.
What Do You Expect From Your Team?Again I ask, do you know what you want? Can you clearly articulate it? Do others understand what you want from them?Can you lead them to the goal? Your productivity is not measured by how much you can get done in a day, but by how much your team accomplishes as a whole. You must learn how to coach and support co-workers without taking on their duties and responsibilities. No one learns if you do their work for them. Create an environment where everyone's performance is raised to their highest potential possible -- and mutual goals are achieved timely. "We all have ability. The difference is how we use it.

Empower the dream
Immediately Stop Worry from Dragging Your Performance Down...
Worried?
Worry wastes time, steals your energy and prevents you from accomplishing anything. Stop worry by taking some kind of action. Transform worry into a positive action.
Courage isn't the absence of fear. It's moving forward by focusing on the desired outcome instead of the fear.
Today's TQ Challenge: Immediately Stop Worry from Dragging Your Performance Down.
Be RECHARGED! What's one thing you could do right now to change a worry into a positive action?
Be RELAXED! What types of things worry you the most?
Be REVITALIZED! What's the biggest worry facing you today? What can you do to address it immediately?
Worry wastes time, steals energy and prevents you from accomplishing your goals. There's no reason to worry about something you can or can not fix. If you find yourself constantly stressed over money, friends, health issues, your children, people at work or your environment -- STOP IT! Identify exactly what you're worried about, and transform that worry into a positive action to resolve the concern. Take care of it, before it takes over you.
"How hard it is, sometimes, to trust the evidence of one's senses! How reluctantly the mind consents to reality." ~ Norman Douglas
Think about it. How well and how often do you actually DO Energy Factor 1F?
"I stop worry from dragging down my energy by immediately taking a positive action to resolve the concern."
A high commitment (1F rated 8 or better) suggests you never play the victim to your worries. By focusing on the actions you can take, rather than the negative conditions of the problem, you maintain your momentum even when besieged with negative situations. Everyone has reasons to worry, but you're able to work through your concerns without wasting precious energy before correcting or improving the situation. Once resolved, your energy level actually increases due to positive feelings that come from correcting a bad situation.
On the other hand...
A lack of commitment suggests you're often a victim of your worries. You can burn a lot of energy as you sit and picture the most unfavorable things that could happen -- thereby draining your energy level. As you focus on "worst case" scenarios, you rob yourself of the energy and motivation needed to take action. This leaves you with little energy to actually resolve the problem. What's more, these overriding concerns keep you from completing your other tasks. This leads to a negative spiral of additional stress stealing away more energy.
What happens when you choose to do Factor 1F a bit more frequently? You have more power...
Worries never drain your positive energy for long. You accumulate performance positives like "Revitalized, Enlivened and Proactive" -- immediately moving you towards the results you expect.
What happens when you fail to consistently do Factor 1F? You have less power...
You do nothing but sit and worry and end up exhausted. Negatives like "Stressed, Overwhelmed and Worried" start to take their toll on your performance -- quickly moving you away from the success you want.
Now Ask Yourself This... Is Factor 1F Causing You Problems?
If you believe this factor is a key performance obstacle -- and that it's preventing you from realizing your personal dreams and goals -- then you need to improve it. Learn how to immediately improve this factor of your performance with a specific plan of action...
