Start our Mondays with positivity in our mind. Our values, our integrity …our self esteem.
If we want to be the best and we believe we are….then we must make others see our value
What’s your value
Leadership vs. Friendship
When you lead, friendship should not be the number 1 priority ; as inevitably there will be extended tolerance for non performance and that will be detrimental for him/her, yourself and the company too.
Continue to demand the best from your subordinates. Be strict, be demanding and if friendship can grow, that is great.
As a leader, your primary task is to focus on performance and to grow others : & not being a “nice buddy” to everyone
Goals ….
Your perception on how you see your GOALS will determine your mental attitude, your beliefs and THE ACTION you will take.
It will govern your daily behaviour.
Stretch your sights …
Aim for the EXTRAORDINARY .Do not limit yourself by “thinking small”.
Aim for the stars and fly high. Aim low and your feet will never leave the ground …..
2021
New Year 2021 ……
.
.
When we can dance in a packed dance floor and have a drink in a crowded bar.
When a sneeze and cough are just a common cold and we just need Vit-C and not a vaccine.
When we can hug, cheek-kisses and touch without fear.
When we do not have to be apprehensive when meeting new people.
What else ? What else ?
Hopefully 2020 – has thought us to not take things for granted, be more compassionate and refocus on our priorities in life.

Tastefully arrogant …
Its “funny” that sometimes one is too shy to be proud of what they have or what they have accomplished.
Too humble ?
Well, sometimes, humility is not a strength.
Stylish and “classy-arrogance” may be needed to get noticed.
Believe in your YELLOW umbrella and “shout” to everyone that it is indeed the greatest colour and only those with exquisite taste can appreciate it.
2 points ….
– believe in YOURSELF & what you have
– a slight tinge of arrogance may be needed to promote YOU.
Finally, if you do not have a yellow umbrella, perhaps you should make one.
Act NOW !
Stop talking ……
Stop endless discussion …
Decide !!
Start doing, take action
More speed more urgency
Modify along the way …
Commit to a deadline …..
Be accountable
Do not let others WAIT.
Customers do not like waiting ?
Do YOU ???
Deadlines
A task …
An action …
Someting you want to do …
SET A DEADLINE ……
Otherwise it will all just be a wish …a talk ….a dream …… that will never happen or just YOU giving empty promises to someone.
A commitment without a deadline means nothing.
Listen with no prejudice
Many people feel that they are listening well.
But their minds are already conjuring up answers even before they understand the real problem.
If you want to listen well, empty your thoughts first. Absorb and focus to what is being said. Have the sincerity to understand.
LISTEN WITHOUT ANY PREJUDICES.
Bear in mind you do not have an answer for everything.
And that’s entirely OK.
Listen …..
Listen to learn
Listen to understand
Listen to serve
Listen to solve a problem
Listen before you speak.
You will be more successful in selling if you listen better. Poor listening skills leads to wrong proposition and you will be wasting everyone’s time.
Not every customer is your customer. If you listen well, then you will also know when to walk away or when to keep quiet.
Sorry
A mistake made.
A wrong turn taken.
If only you are willing to say sorry, willing to own up, stop being defensive and take sincere actions to correct your fault, life will be less complicated and meaningful relationship will be forged.
Nobody is perfect … and the ability to admit your shortcomings shows dignity and humility.
