Will You Add? - Excellent Leaders Are Excellent Cheerleaders
During the past 10 years I have had the good fortune to coach a number of good clients. About 17 percent of the individuals who have entrusted themselves to me have been Chief Executives or Main Board Directors of corporations with turnovers counted in the hundreds of millions.Coaching is like most other businesses in that the coach needs to keep learning and progressing in order to stay up with the game. One of the most valuable sources of knowledge is one’s clients.Th

Most careers have several different ways of getting started. When I decided to become an insurance agent I checked out the different possible ways to start. First I researched the programs that the large insurance companies offer. I selected Farmers Insurance because they have a full product line, have very competitive rates in my area, and allow some selling of outside lines of insurance (semi-captive). I was also impressed with the district staff, they were enthusiastic about the c
Answer: Cheer leading!

They also buoy up employees who experience a setback, bad news, or mistake.
KEY LEADERSHIP SKILL RESEARCH
Recent research showed that a person who responds enthusiastically – like a cheerleader – to his or her partner’s good news produces a stronger and healthier relationship than a person who responds compassionately to bad news. This was found in research by Shelly Gable, Ph.D., UCLA psychology professor, and reported in Journal of Personality & Social Psychology (Vol. 91, No. 5).
This relationship research sheds light on a key leadership skill: Leaders who ‘bond’ and form strong, productive relationships with employees and colleagues excel at cheer leading.
Gable and fellow researchers videotaped 79 couples talking about positive and negative events. Then, trained raters coded their partners’ responses for

They say that fifty percent of your Ad budget is wasted. The only problem is, nobody knows which fifty!Well it's your lucky day, because over the years, I've uncovered many key areas where advertising dollars are squandered, misspent, misdirected and misused.But first, I think it's important to define which advertisers are likely to be the most wasteful.1. Companies that don't use professional media-buying services.2. Companies with in-house agencies that

I encourage customers to buy books directly from me by noting on my Web site that the books are personally signed by the author. Another author said that, although she didn't mean to offend, she didn't know why anyone would want my signature. After all, I'm not famous.Well, I didn't take offense at her observation. In fact, I was a little surprised by the phenomenon, too. The fact is that I get a lot of feedback from customers about how much they like getting an autographed bo

In the UK the order of the day is to have a Chinese nanny or housekeeper. This so that the young children can learn Chinese for the future. This is not a bad idea, given that China is likely to be a world economic leader for the foreseeable future and it's unlikely that the entire population of China will learn English.In previous days it was considered very smart to have a French nanny, so that the little future citizens could grow up speaking fluent French. So those forward

Example: A person proudly tells their partner that she or he just landed a promotion. Then, there are four possible responses to accomplishment:
1. Best response: Energetic – Constructive = “You really deserve it! You’ve been working hard for that promotion, and you earned it.”
2. Wishy-washy response: Passive – Constructive = only saying, “That’s nice.”
3. Lousy response: Energetic – Destructive = “Are you sure you can handle all that responsibility?”
4. Ultra-lousy response: Passive – Destructive = changing the subject
The research participants also filled-out a relationship satisfaction questionnaire eight weeks later, focusing on their partners’ response style to positive and negative events.
