The Seven Cs of Leadership


Clarity

“Take advantage of every opportunity to practice your communication skills so that when important occasions arise, you will have the gift, the style, the sharpness, the clarity, and the emotions to affect other people.”
Jim Rohn

Confidence

“Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.”
Helen Keller

Conflict

"Every conflict we face in life is rich with positive and negative potential. It can be a source of inspiration, enlightenment, learning, transformation, and growth-or rage, fear, shame, entrapment, and resistance. The choice is not up to our opponents, but to us, and our willingness to face and work through them."
Kenneth Cloke

Change

"Turbulence is not the turbulence; it is to act with yesterday’s logic.”
Peter Drucker

Commitment

“If you don't make a total commitment to whatever you're doing, then you start looking to bail out the first time the boat starts leaking. It's tough enough getting that boat to shore with everybody rowing, let alone when a guy stands up and starts putting his life jacket on.”
Lou Holtz

Consensus

“A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.”
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Communication

“If I am to speak ten minutes, I need a week for preparation; if fifteen minutes, three days; if half an hour, two days; if an hour, I am ready now.”
Woodrow Wilson

In the midst of life's tumultuous journey, there are moments when we find solace in the most unexpected places. Take, for instance, Sir Isaac Newton's third law of physics, a principle that transcends the realms of science and extends its wisdom into the fabric of our daily lives. Newton's third law succinctly states, "To every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." Although initially formulated to describe the fundamental nature of forces in the physical world, this law's application is far-reaching, touching the very essence of our human experiences. Consider those days when everything seems to be going awry—when the challenges outnumber the victories, and the road ahead appears daunting. It is during these moments of adversity that Newton's third law can serve as a beacon of hope. Just as every action begets an equal and opposite reaction in the world of physics, so too does life offer the promise of a brighter day after the darkness. The wis

Tried, true and potentially tired

  Everyone suffers from fatigue on occasion. Membership presentations can suffer from the same problem: repeated too often - word for word, thought for thought - their edge can dull. Moreover, circumstances and the business environment are not the same as they were just 12 months ago, providing even more cause for you to continually update and improve your membership presentation to reflect these changes. When was the last time you reviewed your presentation's key points and assessed their effectiveness? What about your opening 30 seconds, which is so crucial to a presentation's success? By reviewing these elements on a regular basis, you can rejuvenate a tired presentation and breathe new life into your sales. -Jim SuccessCo.com

  If you are ready to be more aggressive with your time management, you can increase your productivity and income by more efficiently using only forty minutes a day - twenty minutes in the morning and twenty minutes in the afternoon. By focusing on just these two small chunks of time, you can . . . Add 200 minutes per week ( 3.33   hours per week); Add 860 minutes per month (14.33 hours =   1.79 days per month ); and Add 10,320 minutes per year (172 hours =   21.5 days per year   - a full working month)!
