Leadership Essentials Series - Essentials for Earning (yes earning) Respect
 This one should be a synch
for most of us, yet from what I’ve heard apparently
some people are just oblivious as to what it is they are doing
or not doing that’s getting them into a whole heap of
trouble. You may want to pass this one on to a “friend”
in need.
So here’s the short list on what we can do to
earn or for that matter actually keep the respect we have...
- Know thyself - Know what you’re
good at and know what you’re not good at. Then stop
pretending to be good at what you’re not.
- Set goals for yourself, and then accomplish them.
Did you know that most people that do not reach their goals
quite simply didn’t reach them because they never
actually made them? Setting goals is a huge self esteem
booster, and also sends a clear message to the rest of the
world (because many people don’t set goals) that’
you’ve got the courage to put your money where your
mouth is.
- Take responsibility. Gosh especially
you leaders out there! I mean if the leaders aren’t
willing to be responsible how they heck do we expect anybody
else to? (Including our children)
- Be accountable. That’s it; you
took some action that well lets just say you’d be
happier if you hadn’t. But you did, so bite the bullet
and be accountable to results. Then take about 30 seconds
and be certain to clearly decide what you will do differently
next time.
- Communicate Powerfully. Now I could spend
a full day on this one… but for now, at the very least
“say what you mean, mean what you say”. Separate
yourself from all the “fluff makers” out there.
- Commitments – follow through on them.
If you change your mind and sometimes commitments change,
have the courage to let everybody involved know that it’s
changed and move on.
- Be a confident – Be the person
that other people can come to and know that their thoughts,
feelings, words are safe – that means you won’t
repeat anything that isn’t yours to repeat.
- Shut Up. Let people talk – they’ll
love you for it!
 Until
next time
For Your Success
Be Well,
