Why give away Your Power?

	When you are with people who have more authority, do you give away your power? Yesterday I met with a top executive at one of the world’s largest corporations. On a subtle level I felt myself trying to impress him. To relate to people with power is a balancing act. You must give them respect, and at the same time retain your independence and dignity. Keep your composure. Focus on the needs of the moment. And never give away your power. – Shar McBee Visit the Website: http://www.joyofleadership.com/ You can watch Shar McBee speak.

When People Resist You

	Even if our motive is good, when we obstinately push for results, we create resistance. I did this yesterday. Today, I am sorry and want to make it “right.” I can’t. Anything I say will create more resistance. Today I have to hold back and let it run its course. – Shar McBee Visit the Website: http://www.joyofleadership.com/ You can watch Shar McBee speak.

A Peaceful Perspective

	Don’t worry. Be open. Don’t be defensive. Don’t try to manipulate events. Older and wiser people than us have lived through these downturns. If you remain calm, a rough patch can be a time of transformation. – Shar McBee Visit the Website: http://www.joyofleadership.com/ You can watch Shar McBee speak.

How to Make a Lasting Impact

	I’ve been working on a project that is taking a long time to come to fruition. Too long for my ego. Yesterday I was wondering what good it does to become impatient. There is a law of natural development. Do I want to be a weed or a tree? You don’t make an impact if you become agitated. Or force a conclusion because you lose patience. To make an impact, you must persevere even in slow times when it looks like you are making no progress. – Shar McBee P.S. Could your team use some motivation?
