Regardless of your beliefs about Christmas I think it is a great time
of the year to think about two key aspects of performance leadership,
namely celebration and charisma, and then take action.
In my Enhancing Their Gifts System
celebrating is a key component. People using the system celebrate
every time they achieve a milestone or goal in their performance
possibility plan and continually have appreciation conversations with
their colleagues when they achieve and accountability conversations when
they don’t. Every 90 days system users and their performance partners
formally ask what’s worth celebrating and what could be better and then
upgrade their plans for the next 90 days. These are wonderfully
positive and productive conversations because many informal exchanges
have taken place in the 89 days preceding.
What’s worth celebrating in your life and work?
What’s worth celebrating about the life and work of your colleagues?
Share your answers with people you work with. Doing so, providing you then take action, will improve your relationships.
What could be better in your life and work?
What could be better in your business relationships with others?
Share your answers with people you work with. Doing so, providing you then take action, will improve your relationships.
Create
a plan that begins January the 1st 2013 and write down how you will
keep doing what’s worth celebrating and what you will do to change what
could be better. You just might be staggered at the profound results of
taking this simple action providing you do what you write down of
course!
The ancient Greek word charisma means gift or talent. There is nothing flashy about real charisma.
What are your gifts/talents?
Are you bringing these special gifts/talent to your work on a consistent basis?
We get what we gift.
There
is no greater present that you can give to your world than that of your
best self. That unique, special, one-of-a-kind that you are.
Take
time out in the next 10 days to really focus on what your gifts/talents
are. Ask those closest to you to tell you what’s special about you.
Then bring that person to everything you do in 2013.
In the past
18 months I have lost my best friend, my dear Mother, another woman who
was like a second mother to me, and our beloved dog who was with us from
8 weeks of age till his passing at 14. I am grateful for the massive
difference these beings made in my life just by being who they were.
Life is too short to waste a second.
Celebrate your life
and the special gift/talents you were born with or have learned or
nurtured and grown or maybe even are yet to unleash, and bring all of
them to everything you do in 2013. Celebrate with others their
specialness, their true charisma. Help people to enhance their gifts.
Make 2013 your best year yet.
Ian
PS
The power if giving lies in the non attachment to getting back. Give
to others freely with no expectations of getting back and paradoxically
you will receive in kind a 100 fold.

Advertising is your main tool to have the business ready to go. Actually, everybody is busy in their company marketing over the World Wide Web. Unfortunately, online company is scammed with scammers. On occasion the provider hires you freelance, or occasionally it is a site designer which orders the copy google At an identical time, if you decide on the most suitable company having excellent reviews and reputation, you will enjoy well composed works. http://google.com/
ReplyDeleteGiving away is really a thing. And if you do this you shouldn’t ever thinking about returns. That is the true meaning of giving. This is a thousand-year-old truth if it is not older than that. But people nowadays keep’s forgetting about it. All people should do things that good for themselves and others who are surrounding them. Not for “what they will give me in change for that” but for the sake of greater good. As I in did in review of AdvancedWriters.com.
ReplyDeleteThe business world is now operating online with consumer trends completely dictating how they should run. Today, businesses actively maintain their communication with customers or users which is why we recommend they integrate SMS in their websites or applications using text API to exchange vital information in real-time.
