| Leadership
has less to do with position and more to do with disposition.
The way people see others and the issues they
work on is a huge factor in their overall success.
The Carnegie institute analyzed the personnel records of 10,000 employees and after careful analysis they came to the conclusion that success at work is due only 15% to technical expertise and a whopping 85% to Personality of that 85% the key trait is attitude.
The center for creative leadership in Greenbro, North Carolina went one step further to try to understand what attitudes engendered success in the most successful executives. They studied 105 highly successful executives as found: - The admitted their mistakes & accepted the consequences rather than trying to blame others - The got along with a wide variety of people - They had strong interpersonal skills, were sensitive to others and had tact. - They were calm and confident rather than moody & volatile. When looking at those who were less successful they found that: - They were insensitive to others - Too tough on others - They didn't try to get along with others, were abusive, sarcastic & aloof. - They were unpredictable in their attitudes.

never cease to be amazed at the power of the coaching process to
draw out the skills or talent that was previously hidden within an
individual, and which invariably finds a way to solve a problem
previously thought unsolvable,"
