Corporate Leadership Enquiry


CORPORATE LEADERSHIP ENQUIRY

Leadership influences our destiny, and the direction
the world takes. There is leadership in many sectors,
including at the level of governments in all countries,
in the family, in trade unions, in religion, and in business.

My 7th book whose theme is on corporate leadership
is in the process of completion, and feedback on
employees, a critical area for leadership expression,
would be most welcomed.

A simple 12-question survey has been designed, and
your feedback would be of inestimable value in
understanding the views of employees, as it relates to
corporate leadership. Its completion will also deepen
your own resolve for success. The questions take on
average 3 to 5 minutes to complete. It is anonymous,
so your individual views will not be exposed, but be
included in the summary report of the results of all
respondents. This is the link to the questionnaire:

Thanks in advance for completing this short
questionnaire, thereby identifying an area that needs
to be impacted to improve the quality of corporate
leadership.

Clarify What You Stand For


Clarify What You Stand For

What makes you tick? Who are you, and what do you stand for?
It may be useful for your growth to clarify what you stand for.
Ask yourself these questions:

• What are my core values?
• What do I stand for?
• What are my core beliefs?
• What virtues do I aspire to?
• What will I not stand for?
• What would I sacrifice for,
   suffer for, and perhaps even die for?

These are extremely important questions to answer, and they
can help you to excel in life. From your answers to these
questions, select your three top key values, and document them.
Every choice or decision you make is based on your values, but
when you consciously choose, you bring increased power to
your decision. The following action exercises will help you
to be consistent in your choices.

Action Exercises:

[1] Having clarified your three top core beliefs and your unifying
principles, assess your life today, in relation to them, to confirm that
you are keeping in integrity with yourself.

[2] If you conclude that you are slipping with respect to holding true to
your core values and beliefs, then take one small step to make your
life better. Take another small step and keep the momentum going,
and I will see you at the top!

EMPOWER YOURSELF:
Towards self-mastery

As a human being, you naturally aspire to achieve
something. You want to be a contribution to your
environment. You want to be of value to people
around you. Of course, in the process you want to
experience joy, happiness, and fulfillment.

However, in order to be effective in giving to
others and the environment, you have to be in
control of yourself. To change the world around
you, for the better, you have to change yourself,
along the way, for the better. You are a work in
progress.

What is self-mastery in relation to your life? This
simply means that you must have balance in, and
between, the major areas of your life: finance and
career, relationships, health, spirituality, and
personal empowerment and recreation. These
are some underlying elements that provide the
foundation for achieving balance in your life:

• Your passion for living. The activities that give
   you joy.
• Your commitment to act consistently to pursue
   your passion.
• The continuous proper daily use of 24 hours.
• Filling your mind with worthwhile information
   and wisdom.
• Keeping company with eagles, and not chickens.
• Keeping your positive and negative emotions
   under control.
• Accept people, and situations, for what they are,
   and you will avoid inner frustration, emotional
   turmoil, worries, and depression.

Self-mastery is not about perfectionism, nor do you
have to be as evolved as Buddha or Jesus to be
self-mastered. Each of us has his/her own unique
way. Your quest is to be the most excellent person
that you can be. Optimize your own uniqueness!

EMPOWER YOURSELF:
Rise To The World Economic Challenge

The world, from time to time, spins through cyclical economic
decline. What does this mean for you? Each person’s situation
is different, but there are some basic stances that you can
take to ride the rough waves of international economic decline.

First, know and believe that you have what it takes to
survive. You have a keen intellect, and you can cultivate a
positive expectancy. Second, change in your life is ever
present. You can develop an attitude to see an opportunity in
every changing challenge. Third, by achieving what you
have so far in life, establishes your history of success.
Building on this experience can ensure your continued
success. Fourth and not least, you have to assess and
analyze your income streams, and your expenses.

You need to increase your income streams, or generate
them more efficiently. You will also need to eliminate or
 reduce expenditure that is not absolutely  necessary. For
instance, reducing the time spent on lengthy unnecessary
social telephone calls.

You can optimize your expenses by substituting cheaper
products for more expensive ones. Examples are substituting
raw peanuts that you parch in the oven, for expensive
bottled nuts; and plain biscuits and jam for more expensive
and sophisticated packaged cream biscuits. Of course,
this is only for a season, to take account of declining
economic buoyancy.

Be confident that you have enough experience and creativity
to master the changing economic scenery. Go forward with
confidence in your future!

EMPOWER YOURSELF:
Your Actions Mirror Your Thoughts

There is the inner kingdom and the outer kingdom.
This may also be expressed as the spiritual
kingdom and the physical kingdom. From the point
of view of the individual, the internal kingdom can
be seen as inner thoughts, mental observations or
intellectual positioning. The outer kingdom is
expressed by the actions taken by the individual,
and the results that occur in the material world of
the individual’s life on a day-to-day basis.

How you think shows up in how you act. As you
think in your heart, you usually act on the outer.
Your attitudes and actions mirror your mind. They
reflect your thinking. People can know what you
are thinking by looking at what you are doing.
Actions mirror thoughts. The thoughts you have
chosen in the past account for your state in the
world today. Your actions are the best interpreters
of your thoughts. What goes on inside of you is
eventually reflected in your outer actions.

Thus, your challenge is to have thoughts that
support your core values, thoughts that mirror
your positive expectations, and benevolent
thoughts towards others. And most importantly,
eliminate negative thoughts about yourself.
Have thoughts about yourself that lift your
self-confidence and self-esteem, as you are
a wonderful expression of Creation.

Release Your Brillance


Release Your Brilliance

You have a spark of Divinity in you that shines from time
to time. This is responsible for your achievements to date.
You have accomplished many things in your life, but you
can accomplish even more. Your brilliance is hidden, but
it can be released. However, the brilliant insight is not by
itself achievement. Insights become effective through
hard systematic work.

What then can you do to release your hidden brilliance?
Follow these steps and you will achieve a positive
difference in your life:

• Accept and truly believe that you can do more
than you are doing at present. Research shows
that you use not more than 5% of your brain power.

• Identify something that you are passionate about,
that also benefits others, and proceed to pursue it
relentlessly. When you help others to get what
they want, you get what you want.

• Every day for the next 30 days eliminate, for
15 minutes, an activity that does not support the
lifestyle you desire. Every minute wasted in a
day is lost forever, so minimize wasted minutes.

• Every day for the next 30 days, for 15 minutes,
read, listen to, or view some form of motivational
material. What gets into your mind affects your
persona. Ensure that your mind is bombarded
with sufficient positive thoughts to balance off
all the environmental negativity.

• At the end of 30 days review your progress,
and establish new action plans that will
materialize your desires

You have the power to live the life you want. However,
you must want it badly enough, and be highly conscious
of your reasons for wanting it. Your dreams will
materialize if you make relevant choices in alignment
with your dreams. Choose wisely, and let your brilliance
shine brightly. Rise to your full potential. You can.

Reach for greater success

You are a person with both material and spiritual
attributes. Thus, you need to grow in both areas.
If you want greater success in your life, follow
this three step process:

First
Decide very clearly what you want. This must
be a core desire—something that goes to the
seat of your passion. Something that gives
meaning to your life.

Second
Find someone who has achieved what you
want to achieve, and adopt this person as your
mentor. You need not meet a mentor in person,
nor even speak to that person, although both
are desirable. You merely have to read and
view what that person advises through audios,
DVDs and books, and then implement
the advice. You can also connect with
someone who knows the mentor personally,
or has been himself/herself coached
by the mentor.

Third
Follow through with resolute action, and be
consistent and persistent. This is an important
part of the puzzle of success.

Stay tuned for another piece of the success
puzzle. Until then, to your greater success!

NURTURE YOUR UNIQUE TALENTS


Nurture Your Unique Talents

You undoubtedly admire international and national icons. They
exude positive energy. However, each icon is special, but cannot
excel in all fields. For example, Roger Federer, male tennis
champion, cannot excel in boxing. Tiger Woods, golf master,
cannot excel in cricket. Brian Lara, world cricket champion cannot
excel in football. Serena Williams, ladies tennis champion,
cannot excel in ice skating. Hasley Crawford, Trinidad and
Tobago’s only Olympic Gold Medalist,cannot excel in football.
President Barack Obama, the great politician, cannot excel in
baseball. The common factor is that each icon nurtured and
developed his or her special skill.

What about you? What is your special skill or talent? How
serious are you about developing that gift you have been given.
Each of us has a special part to play in the design of the Universe.
Ensure that you play your part well. Reflect and identify the
area that people praise you for most. Resolve to develop your
gift to its fullest. What you have to contribute to society is
important. Every piece of the puzzle of life is important
to the final solution.

Your contribution is important. Raise your stakes. Act with
courage and thoroughness. Your unique contribution may not
appear important, but it is. A little salt may not appear important
but it makes all the difference to the final taste of the food.
So too is your contribution to society.

You may ask what can I contribute? Your contribution is to
develop fully whatever you are best at doing. It may be your
career, family, sports, spirituality, caring for others, or
whatever it is that you excel in. Step up to the plate.
Believe in yourself. Know that you have untold unused
potential. Awake and let your brilliance shine. Polish the
diamond that is within you. You can do it. Think your
uplifting thoughts, and act with intentionality to achieve
your dreams, while fulfilling your life’s destiny.

Choices You Make Today Shape Your Future

CHOICES YOU MAKE TODAY SHAPE YOUR FUTURE

Your right to choose provides you with the key to unlock

any door you dare to want to enter. You can decide where

you are going to be, what you are going to do, and what

you choose to think. No one can take away your power to

choose. You choose your attitude to life. You choose

your core values.

You need to have relevant and quality information in

order to make sensible choices. You thus have a choice

to be reliably informed. You can choose to update your

knowledge continuously, and create a better universe

for yourself. You can choose your friends and associates.

You choose whether you have around you persons who

will help you with your personal growth, or persons

who will not support you to live your dreams powerfully.

Who you are today is as a result of your choices of

yesterday. Who you will be tomorrow or what you will

achieve in 5 years will depend on the choices you make

currently from moment to moment. Deliberately choose

wisely from moment to moment.

Shift To A Different And Better Life

SHIFT TO A DIFFERENT AND BETTER LIFE

Make your life for the next twelve months better than

The last 12 months by doing things differently. If you

Continue to do exactly what you have been doing

before, you will continue to get the same result that

you wish to change.

Change how you use and prioritize your time. Change

the people you spend time with: add persons with a

positive mind-set to your social network. Change your

thoughts to see positive possibilities: say to yourself,

yes this can be done and I will find a way, rather than

it will not work.

One of the most important things in life is having

a goal. The quality of the goal will determine the

quality of your life. The most important aspect of a

goal is having one. A GOAL is simply something you

want to achieve. You achieve your goal by having a

plan, strategy, tactics, and action. A PLAN is a

simple road map of achieving that goal. STRATEGY

is the overall game with the big steps. TACTICS are

the baby steps you have to take to achieve strategy.

ACTION is the energy that materializes the goal.

You must take massive, consistent, relevant action

for your plans to materialize. Just take one action

step at a time with focused determination, and the

ensuing year will be your best year in life so far.
