7. Align your Leadership Values to the Environment you would Create

Business writing today is much less formal than it was twenty years ago, mainly due to the influence of email. Most people use email as an alternative to face-to-face conversation where informality is key.Since we frequently use contractions when speaking, it's certainly acceptable to use contractions in most of our daily business writing. However, confusion over the correct form can complicate the issue.When we contract words, we make one word out of two. To show that letters are missing, we use an apostrophe in place of the missing letters. The apostrophe must go where the letters are missing! Do not becomes don't; I am becomes Im; cannot becomes can
1. Master Your Rules of Engagement
In War, "Rules of Engagement" are what you do when you engage the enemy.
The enemy in this case is experience of when your surroundings don't match your perception of what should be'
Psychological "Rules of Engagement" exist as reaction responses to these surroundings and the experiences, if you become more aware of what they are, you will have a foundation to influence your actions and reactions, you will Master your Rules of Engagement
2. Increase Your Circle of Tolerance
This is the measure of your ability to deal with things "intelligently" and without reaction. The more rules you have about the way things should be, the smaller your Circle of Tolerance
If you have a large Circle of Tolerance, you can deal with more situations intelligently and make better decisions.
Things that happen outside of your Circle of Tolerance usually trigger your Rules of Engagement
3. Remove Your Colored glasses
There are 4 primary "Brain Processors" that interpret the world in very different ways. A "Colored Brain" perception is like looking though colored glasses. A leader who can remove his colored glasses, can see past his own perceptions and bring out the best in others who process differently.
To discover what colored glasses you are wearing, take the complementary Colored Brain Communication Inventory (CBCI) at the Directive Communication website.
4. Stop Need Sucking
When we are in charge of others (and sometimes when not), we unconsciously make decisions that leave others questioning our motives or are left unfulfilled in their jobs or tasks. This is because each person has specific emotional needs and gratifications that doing or completing a task provides. When someone takes those gratifications away (even accidently) this is "Need Sucking"
To stop Need Sucking, leaders must take care not to take too much of the following emotional needs from a group:
i. Control or security (the less control one has, the less secure)
ii. Recognition or significance
iii. Diversity in tasks or job
iv. Sense of completion or achievement (let people finish)
The more of these emotional gratifications a leader takes for themselves, the less there is for everyone else, translating to less fulfillment
5. Command your Leadership Postures
Postures are the connection between Body and Mind that influence our moods. We are constantly using Postures without realizing it and they are affecting our emotions, our focus, and the type of influence we have over others.
Controlling your primary postures: Warrior, Child, Lover, and Emperor, will allow you to command the suitable energy to affect others on an emotional level with greater effectiveness.
Identifying postures on others will give you greater power to influence and inspire the best in them.
6. Map your world
Each workplace has defined areas that create your "Work Process" these could be for example: Meetings, Working Alone, Working in Teams, Directing others or being Directed, Social Elements of Work
By defining our motivations, frustrations, processes, and the importance we assign to these areas, we can clearly define our expectation and determine, by comparison to others, if they are realistic.
When our "World of Work" is mapped, it becomes easier to navigate through the emotional turbulence of leadership to smoother sailing and greater effectiveness as an inspiring leader who is prepared for anything.

Maybe you have decided that you deserve more money than you are currently being paid or maybe you have decided that not having a job and not being paid anything must come to an end. You may be looking for a new position in the company you are in or you may be looking to jump companies and possibly even industries all together. Whatever you situation is, you must face the inevitable The Job Interview.Why so many people have given this process a negative connotation, is because they do not know the proper steps to take to interview like a champion. Being a champion interviewer like any other skill takes practice. When you were a kid and first learned how to ride a bike, chances are you fell off

If you think hurdling the job interview had been tough, wait until it's time to give executive gifts. Selecting executive gifts can be a terrifying and time-consuming process, particularly because this is a time for confusion and self-doubt. What in the world can you buy for the boss who has everything? Or for the officemate whose cubicle is right next to yours? What do you give to that special client whose single real estate purchase helped you meet the downpayment for your new car?The most useful thing to remember in choosing executive gifts is to consider the personality of the recipient. Paperweights with humorous sayings, for example, won't meet much appreciation from that serious vegetarian
