#8WAYS HOW TO LEAD BY EXAMPLE

Take

responsibility.

• Blame costs you your credibility, keeps team members on the defensive and ultimately sabotages real growth.

Be truthful.

• Inaccurate representation affects everyone. Show that honesty really IS the best policy

Be courageous.

• Walk through fire (a crisis) first. Take calculated risks that demonstrate commitment to a larger purpose

Acknowledge failure.

• It makes it OK for your team to do the same and defines failure as part of the process of becoming extraordinary.

Create

solutions. Don’t dwell on problems; instead be the first to offer solutions and then ask your team for more

Listen.

• Ask questions. Seek to understand. You’ll receive valuable insights and set a tone that encourages healthy dialogue.

Take care of yourself.

• Exercise, don’t overwork, take a break. A balanced team, mentally and physically, is a successful team. Model it, encourage it, support it!

Roll up your

sleeves.

Like Alexander the Great leading his men into battle, you’ll inspire greatness in your company.

- 6 Ways to Build

Harmonious

Relationships -

#1 Be Your Best Self

Every good relationship starts with yourself. If you go into a relationship feeling bad about yourself or feeling a sense of emptiness that you hope someone else will fill, you’re bound to find yourself in challenging and difficult relationships.

#2 Respect Each Other’s Needs

• We all have different needs and expectations within a relationship, whether it’s a romance, a friendship or even a professional relationship with a colleague. What’s important is that you take the time to understand what each person truly needs so that you can then respect and honour that need. That includes your own needs, too. When you’re not consciously aware of what you need and expect from your partner, it can lead to disappointment and tension when your needs aren’t being met.

#3 Work on the

Relationship Together

• For a relationship to be truly in flow, both parties need to be prepared to work on the relationship together. One person simply can’t be doing all the work while the other slacks off.

#4 Communicate Openly

”The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives.” ~

- Anthony Robbins

• Communication between people needs to be honest, authentic, open and compassionate.

#5 Focus on the Blessings

All relationships have bumps along the way. You can get caught up on what someone did or said years ago, or you can simply focus on the blessings that you both share right now, in the present moment.

#6 Give and Receive Love

• Love is at the heart of all harmonious relationships, no matter the nature of the relationship itself.
