WordPress

Well I've decided to give WordPress a whirl! It's free and I've notice more writers using WP services! My site at WP is Leadershipeffect.wordpress.com take a look and stay as long as I do! I will post about the same type of material- leadership/management/ability and frustrations employees have and "need-to" over-come working 9-5 (w/poor management or great leaders)!
I will try and post here when I can, however, if I like WP! I will say good-bye to this site :(
If you have any suggestions regarding blog-hosts let me know...
Off to read some-more and perpair for another fun-filled -- yet crazy week "at the office".

Change in MOOD...

Happiness from Coke! 

Changing the mode of everybody in the room. 

A side note: while I attended a Top 10 School- Coke Bought the rights from the school to sell only Coke products on campus. Vending Machines, Campus Stores, Games etc... no-other product was to be sold on campus except COKE. 

At that time time I reduced the amount of Soda I drinking, and now I don't drink any soda. 

I find it interesting how advertising and buying product rights can leverage companies. 

Nonetheless, this is an interesting clip. Take a look-you might find a useful adaption to the "Concept" in your workplace. 

WISDOM and MOTIVATION

Take 10 minutes and watch this moving and inspirational clip about Will Smith and how he Feels about "Making A Difference". 

Growth

This past weekend I have had the chance to read, and relax.

I also had the had the opportunity to reflect on leadership and success .... a specific quote has stuck to me like glue since reading it a few days back. 

Growth must be intentional...nobody improves by accident." John C Maxwell

I encourage anybody who wants to be better at their career, their jobs, their personal life to consider those words for a moment. We can not become better unless we are willing to GROW. 

In Self Improvement 101 by John Maxwell he continues to explain..."most people are reluctant to change...without change growth is impossible." 

I want to become a better leader. I want to understand the finer points of leadership and management, therefore I spend countless hours reading, researching about the two subjects.

While at work, I implement what I can. 

In order to GROW...I must be willing to CHANGE. 

I am not the same person I was six months ago who sat on the sofa and watched American Idol after work. I am not the same person I was four months ago who encouraged "water-cooler" gossip. I have to be the person at work (even if I am not 100% in favor of a specific change) to be positive and supportive of the change. The change is going to happen, if we employees like it or not, why not be positive and support? Until management learns to ask the right questions and obtain the right feedback, change (likable or not) will happen. 

The question for you-- are you willing to GROW and willing to CHANGE in order to be a Tomorrow's Leaders? 

Start today...start with how you act, how you speak, and more importantly how management sees and perceives you. 

Frozen

My PC and my mind is frozen today!

Will post later when things decide they want to work :)

To ponder: " Growth must be intentional...nobody improves by accident." John C Maxwell
