  My experience working with thousands of leaders world wide for the past two decades teaches me that most leaders are screwing up their careers.

  On a daily basis, these leaders are getting the wrong results or the right results in the wrong ways.

  Interestingly, they themselves are choosing to fail. They’re actively sabotaging their own careers.

  Leaders commit this sabotage for a simple reason: They make the fatal mistake of choosing to communicate with presentations and speeches -- not leadership talks.

  In terms of boosting one’s career, the difference between the two methods of leadership communication is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug.

  Speeches/presentations primarily communicate information. Leadership talks, on the other hand, not only communicate information, they do more: They establish a deep, human emotional connection with the audience.

  Why is the later connection necessary in leadership?

  Look at it this way: Leaders do nothing more important than get results. There are generally two ways that leaders get results: They can order people to go from point A to point B; or they can have people WANT TO go from A to B.

  Clearly, leaders who can instill “want to” in people, who motivate those people, are much more effective than leaders who can’t or won’t.

  And the best way to instill “want to” is not simply to relate to people as if they are information receptacles but to relate to them on a deep, human, emotional way.

  And you do it with leadership talks.

    Self-Employment And Work Experience
    For many years I managed a computer training centre. During those years I handled the financials, sales and marketing, human resources and anything else that required input. During this time I also on rare occasions and as an emergency, took over in reception answering the phones. This was not difficult and I did a fair job of it. Certainly never had any complaints! I abided by the easy principle of being friendly to people. I would hazard a guess that I would not be able to find employment as a receptionist as I would not have sufficient work experience.What experience would be considered essential to being a good receptionist? I would guess, being able to deal with people would be the most important. Learning how to use the telephone system would require a maximum of half a day's learning, and any clerical systems the company used, would be different from company to company. This means previous experience would not count.Take this reasoning one step further and apply this to self-employment. If you work for yourself, you will be required to deal with people. Would answering the telephone at a large company provide you with the experience you need? Or would you be able to learn how to do this by following a few basic steps such as being friendly and helpful. In fact one would almost be inclined to say, that working for a company could mean that you pick up bad habits. Recently I had occasion to phone companies to find out who the relevant people would be to send information

      Interview Questions: Are You Considering Any Other Jobs?
      In other words, are you interviewing with any companies other than ours?This is a common question that interviewers ask when you are interviewing with them for a job with their firm.In other words, do you have any other jobs on the go that could result in someone else hiring you?Part of you might think that saying “yes” to this question will make it look like you are not 100% interested in the position with this company and that the potential employer will look at this negatively.Another part of you might think that saying “no” to this question will make it look like you have no other options available and are having trouble finding a job, thus reducing the company’s interest in you.At the end of the day, the best way to answer this question is as follows:1. Be honest. If you have other jobs you are interviewing for, say so. If not, say so. Tell the truth.2. Be brief. Don’t tell the employer which specific companies you are interviewing with. It’s not their business nor is it pertinent. Typically a hiring manager just wants to know if you are going to be getting an offer soon from another company and if so how quickly. If you are interviewing for other jobs and are early on in the interview process, simply tell them that yes, you have other jobs you are interviewing for and leave it at that.Personally, I think the best situation to be in is to have several interviews on the go and several possible jobs to choose from an

        Advertise Your Business Using Business Cards
        Business cards are a very good way of advertising a business that you are just getting off the ground or for an old established business. It is a very inexpensive way of advertising and the cards can be designed and made on a home computer and printed at home or in the office.The success of these cards depends on the way they are distributed. It must be an ongoing commitment. Never leave home without your cards so that at any time you want one, you will be able to produce it. See every passer by as a potential customer and hand your cards out with diligence.You must adopt the habit of always leaving a card behind wherever you have been. Leave it in a conspicuous place where it will be found by someone who is curious enough to pick it up and read it. You could leave a couple in a restroom. This is always a good place as there are people continually coming in and going out. Some one is very likely to pick one up and take it with them. Every time you go into a store leave a card on the counter or at the cash out desk. There will be someone that is curious enough to pick it up. You could possibly be contacting your future good customer.A good idea is to magnetize your cards. These magnets can be pasted on the back of the cards by your self to save money. They now have extra value added to them and fewer people will throw them away. They will be taken home and put on the fridge to remain for quite a while. It will now be easier to leave a card behind.

          The Truck Driver's Responsibility - Trucking Safety, First And Always
          The Truck Driver’s Responsibility – Trucking Safety, First And AlwaysLet's talk about what exactly the truck driver is responsible for when it comes to hauling freight. To be on the safe side let's assume that the driver is responsible for absolutely everything unless I specifically say otherwise.And I probably won't say otherwise.A typical story you'll hear a truck driver tell after his truck has tipped over is, “I was going around the curve on the offramp and the load shifted causing the truck to tip.” And I believe every word of this story almost every time because that's exactly what usually happened, except they left out a couple of details....what they should have said was, “I was going too fast around the curve on the offramp and the load, that I said was loaded properly and was safe for travel, shifted causing the truck to tip.”Couple of really important things to note here. The first one simply relates to how fast a truck can go around a curve. In trucking, there's two ways to find out. One, you could hire an engineer and give them the numerical details involving weight, center of gravity height, turn radius, etc and a few simple calculations later you have the exact speed a specific truck can go around a particular curve. The easier way is too just get in a truck and find out the “r

          • When Reagan said, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” That was a leadership talk.

          • You can come up with a lot of examples too. Go back to those moments when the words of a leader inspired people to take ardent action, and you’ve probably put your finger on an authentic leadership talk.

          • Mind you, I’m not just talking about great leaders of history. I’m also talking about the leaders in your organizations. After all, leaders speak 15 to 20 times a day: everything from formal speeches to informal chats. When those interactions are leadership talks, not just speeches or presentations, the effectiveness of those leaders is dramatically increased.

          • How do we put together leadership talks? It’s not easy. Mastering leadership talks takes a rigorous application of many specific processes. As Clement Atlee said of that great master of leadership talks, Winston Churchill, “Winston spent the best years of his life preparing his impromptu talks.”

          • Churchill, Kennedy, Reagan and others who were masters at giving leadership talks didn’t actually call their communications “leadership talks”, but they must have been conscious to some degree of the processes one must employ in putting a leadership talk together.

          Here’s how to start. If you plan to give a leadership talk, there are three questions you should ask. If you answer “no” to any one of those questions, you can’t give one. You may be able to give a speech or presentation, but certainly not a leadership talk.
