In a new article on the HBR blog we gain some insights into the importance of writing well. Worth the read, worth the application.

“Writing is a tricky balancing act, juggling dozens of nebulous constraints

. Writers have to think about audience, and about style, and about tone — factors that are hard to anchor down. In business, writing is inextricably tied to company identity: writers have to think about what a company stands for, where it’s going, and how that company should be presented to the public. Difficult considerations.”

 

A quick summary of Dave Kerpen’s blog post on some important elements of leadership:

1. Listening

“When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen.” – Ernest Hemingway

2. Storytelling

“Storytelling is the most powerful way to put ideas into the world today.” -Robert McAfee Brown

3. Authenticity

“I had no idea that being your authentic self could make me as rich as I’ve become. If I had, I’d have done it a lot earlier.” -Oprah Winfrey

4. Transparency

“As a small businessperson, you have no greater leverage than the truth.” -John Whittier

5. Team Playing

“Individuals play the game, but teams beat the odds.” -SEAL Team Saying

6. Responsiveness

“Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.” -Charles Swindoll

7. Adaptability

“When you’re finished changing, you’re finished.” -Ben Franklin

8. Passion

“The only way to do great work is to love the work you do.” -Steve Jobs

9. Surprise and Delight

“A true leader always keeps an element of surprise up his sleeve, which others cannot grasp but which keeps his public excited and breathless.” -Charles de Gaulle

One of my favorites discusses the importance of speaking to young children.

 

Victor Antonio is one of the greatest sales trainers and public speakers I have ever met (definitely the most legitimate). He has numerous free training videos that educate and inspire. Victor Antonio recently wrote a short article on dream killers, why they exist, and why you should just <delete> them from your life.

The article is here and below:

“It’s funny how many times we have a great idea…I mean a great idea!  We get excited about it!  Stay up thinking about this great idea!  We even start to visualize and see the idea itself materialize in our minds.

Then, we make the God awful mistake of asking someone else for their opinion on the idea!  When we ask them, “Hey, what do you think?”  We can almost see immediately that the answer that is about to shoot out of their blow hole is not going to be good; it’s not going to be positive!

True to form, they then proceed to tell us why the idea isn’t going to work, how it won’t be understood by others, how it won’t be accepted, how it’ll cost to much to product, or how much time and effort it will require.

After the litany of negativity, they say, “I mean, you can try it, but I wouldn’t.”  I honestly think dreamkillers always end up saying this as if to make up for all the negative feedback.  As if this statement is the counterbalance to why it’s a bad idea and they feign objectivity

.

You listen to them, take no action, and castigate yourself for ever dreaming up such a “dumb idea”.   You decide to abandon the idea and by forfeit, the dreamkiller has won.  That’s what they wanted you to do in the first place…quit!

The end result for you?  You quit before you even got started.  Dreamkillers exist only because they don’t want to see others succeed. Because if you do succeed, it will call into question why “they” haven’t succeed.  Dreamkillers don’t want to be forced to look in the mirror and ask themselves, “Why haven’t you done anything?”  As long as you’re failing, they feel as though they get a FREE pass FROM trying.

So next time a dreamkiller attempts to talk you out of rolling the dice, taking a chance, letting her rip, and giving it a shot, just mentally <DELETE> them and keep moving forward! “
