You can ask ten different people what
their definition of leadership is and
you will probably get ten different
answers.
Leadership doesn’t have a specific definition. By giving it a definition, you are putting restrictions and limitations on the word and the true value of leadership.
Leadership is something that is complicated to explain and understand. It is formless; it doesn’t take on a particular shape or form, nor does it go in one particular direction.
A great leader can adjust to any situation at any given time, under any circumstance, and still come out successful.
Online networking is all the rage, as
Internet tools make it easy for us to
reach out to almost anyone who has a
presence online.
Lofty executives, potential clients, and
future employers are within easy reach

ignored or added to an email blacklist.
Take the time to think through your
online networking approach, and your
results will improve dramatically. Here
are five tips to get you going.

delightful way to be.

flies out the window and even the most
basic skills desert us. Those times
demonstrate that conflict resolution may
be simple, but is far from easy. Let’s
see why.
Creative
visualization is the technique of using your
imagination to create pictures of yourself achieving
a desired goal or outcome and focusing on that image
until you achieve your objective.
Use the power of your imagination to create what you
want in your life.
No
online meeting will be as warm and comfortable as meeting face to face,
such as to go out to lunch together or meet after work. But when people
collaborate about the work, if your virtual meetings aren't at least as
collaborative as face to face, or even better, then you could be missing
a 36 percent increase in performance of people that do. (Meetings Around
the World, 2006)
