Every day we are faced with choices. We experience three types of choices on a daily basis: primary, secondary, and fundamental.
Timothy’s Thought for Thursday:
High performance is a worthy goal to pursue whatever field you are in. What is it that sets high-performing people apart from the rest? In my experience, they often are people of principle and character. Guiding principles serve as a compass that points in the right direction, helping them to make good decisions as they navigate through life. It is our decisions that define us, and great leaders make the right decisions at the right time. This is true on the field of battle, in professional sports, or in your business. It is those decisions made from the place of character that achieves high performance and great results.
Timothy’s Thought for Thursday: When you are working with your clients or staff as their Leader, the key to success is to establish rapport with them. Rapport is established when the other person feels connected to you and your subconscious communication i.e. how you sit and speak are similar. People like people who are like themselves. This means that when you are able to be like them in how they sit, speak, and talk then you will easily establish rapport. Rapport is a natural state that occurs when people connect. What if you could do it consciously and establish rapport with people all of the time? What would that do for your ability to Lead, Sell, and Influence?
Timothy’s Thought for Thursday:
Of all the principles of success, the creation of vision is the simplest yet a lot of leaders have failed to make it a reality. I don’t mean the achievement of goals. What I mean is the attainment of what you really want, long term. According to Warren Bennis, “Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.” All of us are the Leaders of our own lives. We start with hope and enthusiasm to fulfill our dreams and we end up celebrating success that was not part of our vision. The good and the bad!
Timothy’s Thought for Thursday:
Consider this, great “leaders inspect what they expect.” In business, leadership inspects as part of their risk management and quality assurance. Without proper inspection methods, even successful leaders experience how quickly things can go wrong. After more than a decade of developing people and performance, I realized that it is an important principle of success, to inspect what you expect, and to do it the right way.
Communication Excellence
Communication is an important skill for all people. In a business, it is the Leadership that really must master this skill for effective results. In this article, I will cover the basics of communication that Leadership can grasp easily and put into practice immediately. This will enable you to save time, improve relationships, increase engagement, and productivity. It is surprising just how important effective communication is and how little it is practised.
Timothy’s Thought for Thursday:
Leadership must understand how people work if they are to get the best out of themselves and their people. This means it is their responsibility to understand how to communicate effectively, create behavioral change, motivate others, and drive top performance. Everyone is different and the modern leader is able to understand what drives each individual in the areas mentioned and then respond according to their needs.
Be Who You Are
You can be whoever you want to be. If you want to be a screenwriter, a professional athlete, or a lawyer then make a plan and set about giving it your best. Not even attempting to try to be who you want to be is unacceptable. You were born to be someone great. As Abraham Maslow said to his students, “If not you then who?”
Timothy’s Thought for Thursday:
Many of us don’t even try to become who we want to be because of fear of failure, settling for less. Or we try and give up after a couple of set backs. It took me 3 months to learn to barefoot water ski, every weekend I would be on the water practicing. I would listen to my coach, apply myself and fall. I would pick myself up, my coach would give me feedback, I would apply myself and fall again. We would celebrate every improvement and I learnt to ski longer distances with more control until eventually I conquered it, skiing for a full minute qualifying at a tender age of 12 to join the New Zealand club.
