Dynamic Leadership
continued from page 48
May I suggest the following positive
affirmations:
It’s easy for me to find qualified labor.
I deal productively with government
regulations. We handle safety issues
very well. New technologies help us
become more profitable.
You don’t have to believe these
thoughts when you declare them out
loud the first thing each morning and
the last thing each night. Just say
them out loud.
The subconscious mind cannot tell the
difference between something that is
real and something that we imagine. It
sees thoughts as being real.
When you declare positive
affirmations each day, you’ll begin
to see a difference in your attitude,
and thus in your Dynamic leadership,
within 30 days. You’ll be looking for
the good and, when you see some
evidence, that will strengthen the
concept of “what you think is what
you’ll be.”
Then, when anyone at work
states something negative, say the
following: “That may be so, but I
found . . .” Then state something
positive, no matter how small, and
that will show others that you are
looking for the good, you are being a
dynamic leader.
An important part of our attitude, and
thus our leadership abilities, is the
simple act of smiling more. If all of us
go around each day with frowns on our
faces, that is contagious.
So, if a frown is contagious, I believe
that a smile can affect people the same
way. Why don’t we all make it our
mission to smile at 3 new people each
day – at home, at work, on job sites,
with total strangers?
You’ll be amazed how much happiness,
and a more positive attitude, that will
bring into your life. It will also convey
a very powerful leadership trait that is
indeed dynamic. It’s a force of energy,
in the right direction!
We can’t control certain things around
us. However, we can certainly control
things within us. I do believe that
all of us have the potential to show
dynamic leadership by changing a few
simple things in our daily lives. What if
enough of us did that?
