Message of the Week !

Stop the pity party and blaming the upper

management for your problems and start taking

responsibility for everything you do. ���

Spend your time fixing the problem, instead of

finding who or what to blame. Every time you place a blame you are

focusing on the past but when you accept

responsibility, you are focusing on this time

forward. ���Wan

Rules

Engagement

Drive  accountability  and  decision-­‐making  at  the  right  level.   Foster  a  culture  where  

everybody  walks  the  talk  and  nobody  walks  in  

water.  

Encourage  effec<ve  

communica<on,  not  over-­‐

communica<on.  

Power  today  is  all  about  engagement.  In  order  to  achieve  

meaningful  impact,  leaders  must  connect  with  a  diverse  array  of  stakeholders  to    build  community    around  a  shared    

vision.    

How  are  the  most  successful  leaders  redefining  pathways  to  power—in  their  businesses,  communi>es  and  in  the  social  causes  they  champion?  How  can  each  of  us  be@er  iden>fy  and  scale  opportuni>es  to  ignite  las>ng  change?  

The  new  rules  of    engagement    demand  that  we    leverage  our    influence  across    mul>ple  spheres,  forge  unconven>onal  partnerships  and  turn  ideas  into  ac>on.     Let’s make it

Every professional has to be prepare and ready for every kind of meeting, from those that go perfectly from the get go to those that quickly become a real disaster. Here's how to STOP the pity meetings: 1) Be an Expert on your audience: You're direct customer Learn all you can about your audience, that is your first direct customer. 2) Know Your Product Completely In other words, become an SME (subject matter expert). 3) Tailor Your Message Keep the audience interest in your message. Understand what they really care about.

4) Stay Human and Real Never be afraid to have an honest conversation, you can make close contacts by being honest. 5) Don’t Forget to Follow Up It's become way too common to see great initiatives turn to dust after a meeting, because there was no clear communication after the fact. To avoid this: ①  Write the meeting minutes while it is

happening ②  Send the minutes right after the meeting ③  Don’t forget to add the responsible

person and due date on each task item
