When we think of leadership, we often think of strength and power.But what are these really, and how do they operate? Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things.Even if this is possible, it is shortterm, and tends to produce unexpected and unwanted results.If you order someone to do something against their will, they may do it because they feel they have to, but the anger they feel will do more harm in the long term.They will also experience fear. Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at his or her best. If they connect you with this emotion of fear, they will become less functional around you, and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively.Fear does no good to leadership. The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding and use of emotion.We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the work day; or we can employ them at the emotional level, so they will become fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation.Today"s work place is all about relationships. Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which they"re recognized and valued as a human being as well as a worker.Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like.Leaders understand the way things work.They know the pay check is not the single most important factor in the work life of most people. The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotional intelligence-knowing your own emotions, and how to handle them, and those of others.Developing your emotional intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationship with people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills. 1.

A. developing one"s emotional intelligence B. in fluencing others in one"s own way C. producing some unexpected results D. having confidence in one"s ability 4.

Stop wasting your time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow. The seeds and the power to grow them are contained in the human mind. Success is a choice but not a chance. You can be a success if only you make the right choice. You cannot be successful without first developing yourselfesteem (自尊). Your level of selfesteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. Peoplewith low selfesteem do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are leaves tossed (摇摆) by the winds of chance brought about with any sudden change in the weather. You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for whatever happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident while successful people realize that they are responsible. Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we consciously choose to accept and believe. Thoughts and beliefs cause everything. Our attitudes and actions are a result of habits ingrained in us over a period of time. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success depends upon our level of confidence. We are responsible for either reinforcing good habits or kicking bad habits and consciously replacing them with consistently practiced good habits. If you associate with positivethinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing (培育) the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks. In short, in all areas of your life, whether they are financial,physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it,you are on the road to success. | |||
