Are you an influencer?
If we can’t get people to change their behaviour by changing their behaviour, how do we go about Influencing an audience, so that they do change their behaviour, and turn Shelf-Development into Self-Development?
Why focus on Difference Makers?
"I suspect that the future will be uncomfortable for companies who don’t pay attention to all five key components that will distinguish difference-makers. These key components are:Passion, People, Planet, Profit and Philanthropy."
They did it My Way!
Employees and consumers alike are becoming increasingly intolerant of companies without a cause. People want to know that what they’re doing will make a difference, not just make a profit.
Intentional Neglect, and Productivity
Do you know where you’re going to?Well, everyone ends up somewhere, but few people end up somewhere on purpose! Will you?
GLN conversation – Faith matters
Over the years I had become increasingly interested in leadership. I had discovered many of the books written by a leadership expert named John C Maxwell, and I found the Global Leadership Summit. I became an avid reader of Johns books, attended many of the GLS events held at a venue near me in Stafford, England
GLN conversation – Confidence
One approach would be to find out what does a person want enough that they are prepared to fail, to get there. Then I would want to make sure that to build a confidence culture that they had a safe, well-informed place to fail.
GLN conversation – Communication
Having a common language for personality, for motivation, for IQ and emotional intelligence can really help us to understand what's going on around us in a team environment, and to see the other people and the things they do through their eyes, to understand their intentions in the light of their experience, and to understand the things that motivate them and inspire them to succeed.
GLN conversation – What does success look like?
The overall objective of the business may be to make widgets profitably or to provide a great service and make a meaningful difference in some way for your clients. To have a thematic goal makes it possible for the team to come together around a particular aspect of that objective for a season. Here, successful leadership is about "intentional alignment in terms of results".
GLN conversation – Navigating the Leadership Journey
Accountability for leadership development commitments is most effective when there is detail to the development actions. Some people use Objectives and Indicators of Success, others use Objectives and Key Results. I use a methodology based on identifying the "Next Exciting Win", doing something NEW.
GLN conversation – Calling, Passion and Purpose
In the 15 invaluable laws of growth by John Maxwell, the second chapter is called "The Law of Awareness", and states: "You must know yourself to grow yourself". The key question in that chapter is "How to find your passion and purpose" and is a great read in the context of this question. It takes the reader through the journey to explore what would you like to do and asks the question: "Can you do what you would like to do?".
