What every Employee Needs...

I Combine what i read from "GREAT COMMUNICATION SECRETS" book, watching my new favorite movie "The Miracle" about the 1980 US Hockey Team, and my conversation with Gamila.

The result is a hyped up leadership pattern.

Hard Rock FM Bandung is about to start a new with the upcoming year of 2005
Conditions, well it could be worse, and still i wish it'd get better

I decided to use New Year as a moment to drive my guys at the Program Division.
I gathered the guys telling em that im having a NewYear Fiest.
When actually im creating a facility for me to Communicate my thoughts and Mission for 2005. The pattern i used that day was gathered from sources mention above.
Here are the Elements:

1. I tried to open their mind and dig out their pride in the company by baring facts about other similar company and how they really are no where close to our company class
With it, their doubts, their boredom would hopefully disappeare. No more Distractions.

2. Enemy would draw a team together. An enemy would even drew a country together. So decided to create an Enemy for our guys to Beat. A reason to succeed, a reason to accelarate, a reason to unite, a reason to win.

3. After giving them reasons, i demonstrated how we can win the war. Something that breaks down to simple tasks that they can accomplish. I explained it to them how that simple tasks would make huge effect on the company. It gives them hope and confidence to want to go and compete, even want to win.

4. Then, i rose them to a higher place by giving them compliments and giving them proud. Making them believe i NEED them to win. I believe in Team Work, not Individual Stardom.

5. It is said that A Leadership Message has to be told several times in order to make the message actually stays inside their hearts rather tanh inside their minds. So everytime i got to a point i always got back and tell them how that relates to the single mission we have, its to win over our enemy.



6. Then, i let them Fiest.

Contageous Behavior

I learned a lot about leadership, reading "Leadership when the Heat is on"
One chapter of the book tells about how ur attitude at the office is actually contageous.
Luckly, i had witnessed first hand what that chapter means

His name is Mr Ukun. That's what people call him. He is the Managing Director of Kampung Sumber Alam.
He is responsible for the rapid growth of KSA. From nothing to something big and special.
He always walks fast, talks slow and SO SO SO Nice to people. When he talsk of business, he always concentrate and shows attention. He does that, to everybody, from clerks to his officers.

The book says, as leaders we have to show a high percentage of consistency and positivity.
Some faces their employee with a frown and high tone and voice, trying to get attetion
Some shows a washed out face trying to display how he/ she had worked so hard and they need respect for that.

But by showing a high spirited self in every way every day every second, the employee would get infected by our positivity. Its proven and it makes perfect sense.
I tried to do so today, it didnt work.
I'll try more

I'll read more and try to gain more :)

i'll be back

Another Lesson in Leadership

I just bought a book
"Great Communication Secrets of Great Leaders"

A book that teaches (reminds) you how to communicate properly and effectively as a Leader

We'll see in a month.
Hope i can be a better Leader by then, coz frankly, as a Leader, communicating is what i am lack of.
