Move MONEY TO FIND MONEY

Many of you, from past until now, always thought that money could only be sought by working. For example, you or your husband accidentally broke once again. Then, you both negotiate, and finally decided that you or your husband must work to earn money.

It was not wrong. However, to get the money you have to work. But which one is that if you think that only you can work. In fact, there are other parties that you can hire to make money in the family. Who is he?

If now you are only working, then you can ask the husband to work well. If you already have an adult child, then there is no harm in asking him to help you work.

In addition to family members, there are other sources of income that you can ask for the money. Who is he? Your own money. Yes, the money you have now, can you hire to join his own money.

Why, that is how?

Yeah, let's say at this time your husband works. From this work, your husband can get a regular income of about Rp 1.5 million a month. Then, let's say you also work, and be earning Rp 1 million per month. Thus, the total income you both is Rp 2.5 million per month.

Along the way, you both can have a pretty good savings. The amount - let's say - Rp 20 million. The money was placed in savings. Rarely still in use, because after all your monthly expenditures are both always take it from regular income.

Now the question is, if you still remember, how much regular income earned for your family? The answer is clear: USD 2.5 million per month. The following question, who is working to get USD 2.5 million per month? The answer is clear: You and your husband. How's USD 20 million that you have? Idle. Lho, kok idle? Yes obviously unemployed, wong just put in savings. The flowers do not yet amount to much.

If you're creative, you can have extra income with memproduktifkan part of USD 20 million that you have had. For example, you can wear just USD 10 million of your money to invest and earn additional revenue the new, the same is like if you have family members that work contributes to family income.

The problem now is, how to invest the money so he can generate income for your family? There are only two answers:

* Invest Enterprises
* Invest Products

If you invest into the business, you may be able to get a decent income from it. For starters, while you do your primary job, you can run the business by getting - say - a member of your family. Eventually, after several months for example, you can submit a complete business management to the members of your family, while you keep working on your early work. Thus, at this time not only you are looking for money, but also the money you could be 'driven' to make money as well. Although it may at first he still needs your help to be 'driven'.

In addition to the business, you also can invest your money into the product. Here, the results you get may be smaller than if you make an investment into the business. However, initial efforts you do to move this money to make money again will be lighter than if you do it by opening a business. Generally, the products that you can choose to make your money work for money again are products that can provide results for a minimum deposit. Of course, if you can find other products that provide greater results would be great.

So once again Mr. Mom, if this time is just you and your husband who works for the money, from now on no more was thought that only you both can work to get money. But also the money you can 'move' to get more money. If you continue to work to make money, tired of dong Bu! So, do not let only your own work for the money. Involve your money also can make money too. Is not that right?

Greetings.

Mistakes in Leadership

A leader needs to refine skills and leadership to avoid the mistakes that are not necessary. How do I?

Management experts agree that leading companies do not just manage the numbers.
Formulate organizational strategy, profit concentration, and people management became
an important factor in determining success or failure of a leader.

There are five main elements that determine the success of a leadership organization, the product quality or has its own peculiarities, the right momentum, adequate capital, Dya quality human resources, as well as effective management. The five elements, according to Steven Brown in the book 13 Fatal Errors Managers Mistakes and How You Can Avoid Them, is absolute and interrelated.

That is, without effective management, a leader will not be able to make good decisions about product specifications and the right moment to introduce to the market. Companies whose management shambles can not get sufficient capital, let alone defend it. More than that, people could only be trained and developed to better management in good condition too.

Any forward-looking leaders should understand that an invaluable resource in any company is its human potential. As a leader, he is responsible for developing the talent that is very broad. So the importance of human resource element, a top executive at a large company in America once said: "Take all my possessions, the home is not his organization. So in five years I will be able to get everything back. "

The problem is, not all leaders are able to manage the company properly. According to Steven Brown's record that has for years served as a consultant, at least there were 8 fatal error made by a leader. Thirteenth Tesebut error is:

Failed to Develop People

One main goal is business continuity management itself, although there are changes in time and those who manage them. That means, if one day you wake up company that eventually became collapsed after you leave, then you deserve to feel guilty and failed leadership in developing relay.
It often happens, for various reasons, do not believe a person's ability, such as a leader feel the need to do everything yourself. There is no delegation of authority and power. As a result, other than occupied by the affairs that are not necessary, the leaders had been aware of incorrect or missing an opportunity to create a cadre of new leaders.
If you are in doubt about the need to build people as hard as possible, the following illustration can be a picture. Someone starting a business, and businesses that continue to survive as long as he was still working. Then, the company slowly disappeared after replacing his successors for more than half the working period of a generation.

Controlling the Result, Not Mengabdalikan mode

How to think someone would vary. This is also the result sebsb why some people can be more productive than others. Most leaders are often hit flat on the performance of employees. Moreover, for jobs that are very easy to see the results, such as field sales.
In fact every employee, as was already alluded to a way of looking and feeling different to a problem. Therefore, to avoid the wrong perception that, a leader in the development of a framework mestimelihat the whole series, namely through the thoughts, feelings or intellect, activities and eventually become a habit, then give the results. If the circuit is used, then the leader will be with mudh make drastic changes in building employee productivity.

Joining the Wrong Team

The main points at issue is how a leader develop the attitudes, especially about loyalty. A leader is often used as a fighter for people who are against the virtue, corporate goals and objectives.
If that happens, you should refuse even if the invite you are a leader or a set of your peers and keeping employees.

Uniforms in Managing People

Leaders who manage his subordinates in the same way or a technique, it often suffered disappointment. A good leader should be sensitive to personality differences and their respective staff.
Therefore, emimpin must recognize and exploit these differences as a strength.

Forget The Importance of Profit

The main purpose of an organization is to maintain the continuity of the organization. To that end, the company must necessarily achieve continuity of the profits to finance. Too often in the company of each division was more important than the other divisions. This can make a leader not forget the importance of focus and ultimately profit.

Glued At issue, Lost Objectives

One of the reasons why a leader is not effective is because he is fixated on simple problems, such small errors committed his subordinates or others.
Instead of wasting energy on finding fault with others, certainly better if one leader to another approach. For example, by finding out, what affects one's performance.

Be As a Neighbor, Not Leader

After office hours, many corporate leaders who want to behave as an ordinary person like the other fellow employees. Then next morning he would behave as a leader again. Many employees who could not accept such an attitude. A leader must choose: be a leader or a fellow employee. There is no middle ground in such situations.
The reason is simple, if a leader's actions against careless employee, then the fact he not only does not respect its employees. More than that he had also been taught to employees for not respecting his superiors. A leader should not be trapped in his role as friend, psychiatrist or priest. The task leader is how to manage a company's life.

Failed Setting Standards

Many leaders who did not like the concept of setting standards. Mahkan maybe they want to avoid talking about it, because they consider the standard as a way to punish those who fail memprodksi or that do not compromise.
People who think so do not really understand one of the key companies that are well managed. The Company does not have to force people to submit to a long list of rules, but he must have a goal to build personal and corporate pride.

Kesalahan dalam Kepemimpinan

Seorang pemimpin perlu menyempurnakan ketrampilan dan kepemimpinannya agar terhindar dari kesalahan-kesalahan yang tidak perlu. Bagaimana caranya?

Para ahli manajemen sepakat bahwa memimpin perusahaan tidak sekedar mengelola angka-angka. Merumuskan strategi organisasi, konsentrasi meraih laba, dan people manajemen justru menjadi factor penting dalam menentukan
sukses tidaknya seorang pemimpin.

Ada lima unsur utama yang menentukan keberhasilan sebuah kepemimpinan organisasi, yakni produk berkualitas atau memiliki kekhasan tersendiri, momentum yang tepat, modal yang memadai, sumber daya manusia yang berkualitas, serta manajemen yang efektif. Kelima unsure tersebut, menurut Steven Brown dalam buku 13 Fatal Errors Managers Mistakes and How You Can Avoid Them, bersifat mutlak dan saling terkait.

Artinya, tanpa manajemen yang efektif, seorang pemimpin tidak akan bisa mengambil keputusan yang tepat mengenai spesifikasi produk dan momentum yang tepat untuk memperkenalkannya ke pasar. Perusahaan yang manajemennya amburadul juga tidak bisa mendapatkan modal yang memadai, apalagi mempertahankannya. Lebih dari itu, people hanya bisa dilatih dan dikembangkan dengan lebih baik jika manajemen yang memayunginya dlam kondisi baik pula.

Setiap pemimpin yang berpandangan ke depan semestinya memahami bahwa sumber daya yang tak ternilai dalam setiap perusahaan adalah potensi manusianya. Sebagai pemimpin, ia bertanggungjawab untuk mengembangkan bakat yang sangat luas tersebut. Sebegitu pentingnya unsure sumber daya manusia, seorang eksekutif puncak di sebuah perusahaan besar di Amerika pernah berujar: “Ambilah semua harta saya, asal bukan organisasinya. Maka dalam lima tahun kedepan saya akan bisa memperoleh semuanya kembali."


Masalahnya, tidak semua pemimpin mampu mengelola perusahaannya dengan benar. Menurut catatan Steven Brown yang telah bertahun-tahun bertugas sebagai konsultan, setidaknya ada 8 kesalahan fatal yang dilakukan oleh seorang pemimpin. Ketiga belas kesalahan tesebut adalah:

Gagal Mengembangkan Orang

Salah satu tujuan utama manajemen adalah kelangsungan bisnis itu sendiri, meski ada perubahan waktu danorang-orang yang mengelolanya. Itu artinya, jika suatu saat perusahaan yang anda bangun akhirnya menjadi runtuh setelah anda tinggalkan, maka anda layak merasa bersalah dan gagal dalam mengembangkan estafet kepemimpinan.
Sering terjadi, karena berbagai alasan, tidak percaya kemampuan seseorang, misalnya seorang pemimpin merasa perlu melakukan segala sesuatunya sendiri. Tidak ada pelimpahan wewenang dan kekuasaan. Akibatnya, selain disibukkan oleh urusan yang sebenarnya tidak perlu, pemimpin tadi secra tidak sadar telah melewatkan kesempatan untuk menciptakan kader-kader pemimpin baru.
Jika anda ragu mengenai perlunya membangun people sekuat mungkin, ilustrasi berikut bisa menjadi gambaran. Seseorang memulai sebuah usaha, dan usaha itu terus bertahan selama ia masih bekerja. Lalu, perusahaan itu perlahan-lahan lenyap setelah para penggantinya menggantikan selama kurang lebih setengah jangka waktu kerja suatu generasi.

Mengendalikan Hasil, Bukan Mengabdalikan Cara

Cara berpikir seseorang tentu berbeda-beda. Ini pula yang menjadi sebsb mengapa beberapa orang bisa lebih produktif ketimbang yang lain. Kebanyakan pemimpin sering memukul rata mengenai unjuk kerja karyawannya. Terlebih lagi untuk pekerjaan-pekerjaan yang sangat mudah terlihat hasilnya, seperti bidang penjualan.
Padahal setiap karyawan, seperti tadi sudah disinggung memiliki cara pandang dan perasaan yang berbeda-beda untuk suatu masalah. Karena itu untuk menghindari persepsi yang keliru itu, seorang pemimpin mestimelihat dlam sebuah kerangka rangkaian yang utuh, yakni melalui pikiran, perasaan atau akal budi, kegiatan dan lama-lama menjadi kebiasaan, lalu memberikan hasil. Jika rangkaian tersebut dipergunakan, maka pemimpin akan dengan mudh melakukan perubahan drastis dalam membangun produktifitas karyawan.

Bergabung dengan Kelompok yang Keliru

Poin utama pada masalah ini adalah bagaimana seorang pemimpin mengembangkan sikap, terutama tentang kesetiaan. Seorang pemimpin sering dijadikan sebagai pejuang bagi orang-orang yang melawan kebajikan, tujuan dan sasaran perusahaan.
Jika hal itu terjadi, anda harus menolak sekalipun yang mengajak anda adalah seorang pemimpin sejawat anda atau sekumpulan bebrapa karyawan.

Seragam dalam Mengelola Orang

Pemimpin yang mengelola anak buahnya dengan cara yang sama atau satu teknik saja, seringkali mengalami kekecewaan. Pemimpin yang baik mestinya peka terhadap perbedaan dan kepribadian masing-masing staf.
Oleh karena itu, emimpin harus menyadari dan memanfaatkan perbedaan tersebut sebagai sebuah kekuatan.

Melupakan Pentingnya Laba

Tujuan utama sebuah organisasi adalah menjaga kelangsungan organisasi tersebut. Untuk tujuan tersebut, perusahaan mestilah meraih laba untuk membiayai kelangsungan tersebut. Seringkali terjadi, di perusahaan masing-masing divisi merasa lebih penting ketimbang divisi yang lain. Hal ini bisa membuat seorang pemimpin tidak focus dan akhirnya melupakan pentingnya laba.

Terpaku Pada Persoalan, Lupa Tujuan

Salah satu alasan mengapa seorang pemimpin tidak efektif adalah karena ia terpaku pada masalah-masalah sederhana, misalnya kesalahan-kesalahan kecil yang dilakukan anak buahnya atau orang lain.
Daripada membuang-buang energi untuk mencari-cari kesalahan orang lain, tentu lebih baik jika seorang pemimpin melakukan pendekatan lain. Misalnya dengan mencari tahu, apa yang mempengaruhi prestasi seseorang.

Bersikap Sebagai Sesama, Bukan Pemimpin

Usai jam kantor, banyak pemimpin perusahaan yang ingin bersikap sebagai orang biasa seperti sesame karyawan yang lain. Kemudian esok paginya ia akan bersikap sebagai pemimpin lagi. Banyak karyawan yang tidak bisa menerima sikap seperti itu. Seorang pemimpin memang harus memilih: menjadi pemimpin atau menjadi sesame karyawan. Tidak ada jalan tengah dalam situasi seperti itu.
Alasannya sederhana, kalau tindakan seorang pemimpin terhadap karyawan sembrono, maka sebenarnya ia tidak hanya tidak menghormati karyawannya. Lebih dari itu ia juga telah mengajarkan kepada karyawan untuk tidak menghormati atasannya. Seorang pemimpin tidak boleh terjebak pada perannya sebagai sahabat, psikiater atau pastor. Tugas pemimpin adalah bagaimana mengelola kehidupan sebuah perusahaan.

Gagal Menentukan Standar

Banyak pemimpin yang tidak menyukai konsep menentukan standar. Mahkan mungkin mereka ingin menghindari pembicaraan tentang hal itu, karena mereka menilai standar sebagai cara untuk menghukum mereka yang gagal memprodksi atau yang tidak kompromistis.
Orang yang beranggapan demikian sebenarnya tidak memahami salah satu kunci perusahaan yang dikelola dengan baik. Perusahaan memang tidak usah memaksa orang untuk tunduk kepada sederetan panjang peraturan, tetapi ia harus mempunyai sasaran untuk membangun kebanggan pribadi dan perusahaan.


Step Step Building a Positive Attitude

Benefits of positive attitude very much. A positive attitude can increase productivity, promote teamwork, problem solving, improve quality, foster a favorable atmosphere, create loyalty, increase profits, and so on. The problem is, not everyone is able to build positive attitudes in his life. To build and maintain a positive attitude, according to Khera
Shif author of You Can Win, then consciously have to practice some of the following:

1. Change the focus, look for something positive

We must focus on the positive things in our lives. Start looking for what is right from a person or situation, not the other way looking for things that are wrong. In human umtumnya compelled to find fault with others and forget to see the positive picture. If someone tries to find friendship, joy, and positive things, then he will get it. Conversely, if the person was more looking for things that are negative, he also will get it. But a positive attitude here does not mean ignoring the error.

2. Grow habit to do it right now

We all have dreams in life, at least at certain times. Chimera is likely to cause negative attitudes. Daydream habit to make yourself become tired rather than attempt to make it happen. A task that was completed to produce satisfaction and foster a spirit, a task that is not fully materialized energy drain that is leaking like a tank.

3. Develop an attitude of gratitude

Always pay attention to that obtained mercy, not a tragedy or difficulty. We always focus complained about things that are not obtained, and forget about what we have. So many things we should be thankful for. At the moment we are grateful for our blessings, tidklah means we feel complacent. Gratitude makes everything more easy to live.

4. Take continuing education program

We must understand the true meaning of education. Intellectual education affects our thinking skills, while education on the basis of the values affect our hearts. In fact, education is not touched our hearts very dangerous. Whenever we want to build character in the office, home or community, then we must have ethics and morals at a minimum level. Education aimed at building or character traits we-like honesty, perseverance, vibrant, strength, and responsible - is essential. We do not need more academic education bnyak; the more necessary is the education of values.

5. Build self-respect in a positive way

Respect for yourself is the way we view ourselves. If we feel a lot of good things we have, our performance will increase, and our relationship developed, both in kator and at home. The world will look more beautiful. Why? Because there is a direct correlation between feelings and behaviors. So how can we respect ourselves? One of the fastest ways is to do things separately tidk others who can pay you with money or good reason. Contribute to the person who is unable, for example. There are two types of people in this world; receiver (taker) and donor (giver). The recipients of the "eat" the good and the giver "sleep" with the bad. The award-givers have self terhadapp high, a positive attitude, and serve the community. But in life, people must be able to act to receive and give. Personality dri yng healthy people who respect ourselves is, he not only felt the need to accept, malainkan also provided.

6. Away from the influence of negative things

To be able to be positive, automatically you have to distance themselves from negative influences. There are some negative things that should be shunned. First, people are negative. Social environment will determine the attitude of a person's life. If you get along with people who excel, you are going to be able to be accomplished. If you usually associate with thinkers, you will become one of them. If you hang out with people who love to give, you also would like to give. Conversely, if you enjoy socializing with people who like to convey kompalin, you would be so.
Second, drugs and alcohol. In addition to self-destructive and mind, this habit also spent money. Third pornography. Pornography is like a process of dehumanization of women and children. The consequences of pornography are numerous, such as dehumanization of women, sacrificing children, destroying marriages, encourage sexual crimes, ethical and moral ruin, and so forth. Every 46 seconds in America happened the rape of a woman (National Victim Center / Crime Victims Research and Treatment Center, 1992). As many as 86% of rapists admit to regular porn, and 57% admitted imitating pornographic movies when sexual crimes (Dari. William Marshal, 1988). Fourth, negative films and tv programs. Fifth, rock music and many other negative things.

7. Learn to love something to be done

Many things we must do, regardless of whether we like or dislike about it. For example, a mother who must care for her child. But if we learn to like the tasks required, something that is impossible can become possible.

8. Start your day with something positive.

Try to read or hear something positive first thing in the morning. After a night of sleep soundly, we are relaxed so that our subconscious mind receptive. Positive thinking will determine the success of the day, and helps our mind to make every day a positive day.

Langkah Langkah Membangun Sikap Positif

Manfaat sikap positif sangat banyak. Sikap positif bisa meningkatkan produktivitas, mendorong kerjasama tim, memecahkan masalah, meningkatkan kualitas, menumbuhkan atmosfer yang menguntungkan, menciptakan loyalitas, meningkatkan laba, dan seterusnya. Masalahnya, tidak semua orang mampu membangun sikap yang positif itu di dalam hidupnya. Untuk membangun dan memelihara sikap positif, menurut Shif Khera penulis buku You Can
Win, maka secara sadar harus mempraktikkan beberapa hal langkah berikut:

1. Ubah fokus, carilah hal yang positif

Kita harus fokus kepada hal-hal positif di dalam hidup kita. Mulailah mencari apa yang benar dari seseorang atau situasi; bukan sebaliknya mencari hal-hal yang salah. Pada umtumnya manusia terdorong untuk mencari-cari kesalahan orang lain dan lupa untuk melihat gambar yang positif. Jika seseorang berusaha mencari persahabatan, kegembiraan, dan hal-hal positif, maka ia akan mendapatkannya. Sebaliknya, jika orang itu lebih mencari hal-hal yang negative, ia juga akan mendapatkannya. Tetapi bersikap positif di sini bukan berarti mengabaikan kesalahan.

2. Tumbuhkan kebiasaan untuk mengerjakannya sekarang juga

Kita semua pernah memiliki angan-angan dalam hidup, minimal pada waktu tertentu. Angan-angan cenderung menyebabkan sikap negative. Kebiasaan berangan-angan membuat diri menjadi lelah ketimbang upaya untuk mewujudkannya. Sebuah tugas yang berhasil dirampungkan menghasilkan kepuasan dan menumbuhkan semangat; sebuah tugas yang tidak tuntas terwujud menguras energi layaknya sebuah tangki yang bocor.

3. Kembangkan sikap bersyukur

Selalulah memperhatikan rahmat yang diperoleh, bukan musibah atau kesulitan. Kita selalu fokus mengkomplain tentang hal-hal yang tidak diperoleh, dan lupa terhadap apa yang kita punyai. Begitu banyak hal yang seyogyanya kita syukuri. Pada saat kita mensyukuri nikmat, tidklah berarti kita merasa berpuas diri. Rasa syukur membuat segalanya lebih enteng untuk dijalani.

4. Ambilah program pendidikan yang berkelanjutan

Kita harus memahami makna sebenarnya dari pendidikan. Pendidikan intelektual mempengaruhi kemampuan berpikir kita, sedangkan pendidikan berdsarkan nilai-nilai berpengaruh terhadap hati kita. Kenyataannya, pendidikan yang tidak menyentuh hati kita sangat berbahaya. Bilamana kita ingin membangun karakter di dalam kantor, rumah atau masyarakat, maka kita harus memiliki etika dan moral pada level minimum. Pendidikan yang bertujuan membangun sifat-sifat atau karakter kita�- seperti kejujuran, ketekunan, bersemangat, keteguhan, dan bertanggung jawab - sangatlah esensial. Kita tidak butuh lebih bnyak pendidikan akademis; yang lebih dibutuhkan adalah pendidikan nilai-nilai.

5. Bangun sikap menghargai diri sendiri secara positif

Penghargaan terhadap diri sendiri adalah cara kita memandang diri kita. Jika kita merasa banyak hal yang bagus kita miliki, kinerja kita akan meningkat, dan hubungan kita berkembang, baik di kator maupun di rumah. Dunia akan terlihat lebih indah. Kenapa? Karena ada korelasi langsung antara perasaan dan perilaku. Lantas bagaimana caranya agar kita menghargai diri sendiri? Salah satu cara tercepat adalah mengerjakan sesuatu utnuk orang lain yang tidk bisa membayar anda dengan uang atau budi baik. Berkontribusi terhadap orang yang tidak mampu, misalnya. Ada dua jenis manusia di dunia ini; penerima (taker) dan pemberi (giver). Para penerima "memakan" dengan enak dan para pemberi "tidur" dengan enak. Para pemberi memiliki penghargaan terhadapp diri sendiri yang tinggi, sebuah sikap yang positif, dan melayani masyarakat. Tetapi dalam hidup, manusia harus bisa bertindak menerima dan memberi. Kepribadian yng sehat dri orang yang menghargai diri sendiri adalah, dia tidak hanya merasa perlu untuk menerima, malainkan juga memberi.

6. Menjauh dari pengaruh hal negative

Untuk bisa bersikap positif, secara otomatis anda harus menjauhkan diri dari pengaruh negative. Ada beberapa hal negative yang harus dijauhi. Pertama, orang-orang negative. Lingkungan pergaulan sangat menentukan sikap hidup seseorang. Jika anda bergaul dengan orang-orang berprestasi, andapun akan mampu menjadi orang berprestasi. Bila anda biasa bergaul dengan pemikir, anda akan menjadi salah satunya. Kalau anda bergaul dengan orang yang suka memberi, anda pun akan suka memberi. Sebaliknya, jika anda suka bergaul dengan orang-orang yang suka menyampaikan kompalin, anda pun akan begitu.
Kedua, narkoba dan alkohol. Selain merusak diri dan pikiran, kebiasaan ini juga menghabiskan uang. Ketiga pornografi. Pornografi tak ubahnya proses dehumanisasi terhadap wanita dan anak-anak. Konsekuensi dari pornografi sangat banyak, seperti dehumanisasi wanita, mengorbankan anak-anak, menghancurkan pernikahan, mendorong kejahatan seksual, merusak etika dan moral, dan sebagainya. Setiap 46 detik di Amerika terjadi pemerkosaan terhadap seorang wanita (National Victim Center/Crime Victims Research and Treatment Center, 1992). Sebanyak 86% pemerkosa mengakui secara regular melakukan pornografi, dan 57% mengakui meniru film porno saat melakukan kejahatan seksual (Dari. William Marshal, 1988). Keempat, film dan program tv negative. Kelima, musik rock dan berbagai hal negative lainnya.

7. Belajarlah mencintai sesuatu yang harus dikerjakan

Banyak hal yang harus kita kerjakan, terlepas apakah kita suka atau tidak suka terhadap hal itu. Misalnya seorang ibu yang harus merawat anaknya. Tetapi jika kita belajar menyukai tugas-tugas wajib tersebut, sesuatu yang tidak mungkin bisa menjadi mungkin.

8. Mulai hari anda dengan hal yang positif.

Usahakan membaca atau mendengar sesuatu yang positif pertama kali di pagi hari. Setelah semalaman tidur pulas, diri kita menjadi rileks sehingga otak bawah sadar kita mudah menerima. Pikiran positif akan menentukan keberhasilan hari itu, dan membantu pikiran kita untuk menjadikan setiap hari sebagai hari yang positif.

Quality Leadership

What are the qualities from an effective leader? Already very many management books are written separately this topic compared to other topics. The books states that the leader come in various shapes and sizes and use different types of styles (styles) management, but certainly there's one important thing to be an effective leader is; that leaders must have
followers (followers)! If you can not create an atmosphere where people choose to follow you, it means you are not an effective leader.

If we read books about leaders and leadership, its seems to be an effective leader is not difficult. Do not let the books fool you. In fact, it is not easy to become an effective leader. The main reason for that is because people have the freedom to choose. They're not necessarily follow just because you say so. "Man can not be managed. Inventory (inventory) can be managed, but people should be led." To get people to follow, you should pay attention to the factors, what are their interests (the WIIFM = What's In It For Me).

Most people are selfish, in a positive sense. People will react if their current state is threatened, or if indeed the situation that would promise a better state. This is a classic carrot and stick technique to motivate. Managing (not lead) to use such methods relatively easy. If you threaten people will lost his job or a great bonus offer, it is very possible they will do anything they would not normally do.

The problem is, that this method will not last long (not sustainable). People will not put up with conditions that suppressed for long periods of time. After a while they will give up and say "please fire me and I want to get out." Big bonuses and prizes will gradually beautiful less attractive after a while, mainly because it usually gives only to a handful of people.

Ineffective leaders are usually not aware of problems with this technique. They continue to increase the pressure or the size of bonuses and finally do not understand why the state increasingly unhealthy and uncontrolled.

Effective leaders have the ability to work at a higher level. They will very rarely use pressure or bonuses, but rely more on inspiration. They inspire people to achieve goals totally unimaginable and unthinkable before. Leaders like this actually has followers.

Then the question is, how they do it? From our experience both with respect to the leaders and the research results of some existing literature, there are 4 (four) to main elements of effective leadership: having a successful experience, vision, respect for others, personal and credible.

People do not like to follow the "loser" even though they are very skilled. Having a successful history or experience will also not guarantee you become an effective leader, but it is a requirement separately considered to be a leader. If you do not already have a successful experience, then you should get it first. Start with small winner, and proceed again with some more challenging tasks and learn from mistakes / failures along the journey.

Next, take days not to have achieved the success that makes you a big head, because then you will lose the credibility that is essential for an effective leader.

There are many books and other literature that discusses the vision. Most literature is trying to determine a prescription to find a vision. But actually none of these recipes that offer will always be appropriate for different situations and conditions. One thing you should realize that an effective vision must be based on data and information.

An effective leader will always wrestle with data and information. Guess using all sources of data and information available, and not delegate that task to others. Effective leaders to question and challenge the status quo and have the ability to see patterns that may be an opportunity where others do not see it.

They ask questions about various things diagnose sometimes far behind the things seen (obvious) and be able to bring new fundamental understanding about these things. This is what will make them crystallize a vision of the future that will inspire others to follow.

To create an effective vision, you must be willing to deal directly with data and information. More and more data and information that you analyze, the better the analysis you get. Effective leaders are masters of data and information so that they can cite some facts and figures without having to look at their notes again. If you are type of person who works at the high level and submit the details to others, I think and maybe will not never be an effective leader. Maybe you will become an effective manager, but not effective leader.

Effective leaders realize that they own only a small portion of data do important work in the development of the organizations they lead. They must be able to make others accept (buy-ins) vision and their plan to make it happen. To accomplish for others to receive, must begin with respect for others. It's been so many managers who may experience less show appreciation (respect) to workers and do not understand why people are not supporting them.

Only by walking around and talking to people about things they are doing has incredible impact. People do see you as real people, and you can see first hand what was going on. Activities that accompanied such discussion would be 10 times more complete and deeper than even meeting was attended by all relevant parties. The most important of all is where people believe that their leader and will understand what they're doing, they will penetrate any obstacles to these leaders.

Kualitas Kepemimpinan

Apa saja kualitas dariseorang pemimpin yang efektif? Sudah sangat banyak buku manajemen ditulis utnuk topic ini dibandingkan dengan topik-topik yang lain. Buku-buku tersebut menyatakan bahwa para pemnimpin datang dalam berbagai bentuk dan ukuran serta menggunakan berbagai jenis gaya (styles) manajemen, tetapi yang pasti ada satu hal terpenting untuk menjadi pemimpin yang efektif yaitu; bahwa para pemimpin tersebut harus memiliki pengikut (follower)! Jika anda tidak dapat menciptakan suasana di mana orang memilih mengikuti anda, itu berarti anda bukanlah seorang pemimpin yang efektif.

Kalau kita membaca buku-buku tentang pemimpin dan kepemimpinan, kelihatannya banwa untuk menjadi pemimpin yang efektif tidaklah sulit. Jangan biarkan buku-buku itu menipu anda. Kenyataannya, tidaklah mudah untuk menjadi pemeimpin yang efektif. Alasan utama untuk itu adalah karena orang memiliki kebebasan untuk memilih. Mereka tidaklah serta merta mengikuti hanya karena anda menyatakannya. "Manusia tidak dapat dikelola. Persediaan (inventory) dapat dikelola, tapi orang haruslah dipimpin." Untuk membuat orang mengikuti, anda harus memperhatikan faktor, apa yang menjadi kepentingan mereka (the WIIFM = What's In It For Me).

Kebanyakan orang adalah egois, dalam arti yang positif. Orang akan bereaksi jika keadaan mereka saat ini terancam, atau jika memang keadaan itu akan menjanjikan keadaan yang lebih baik. Ini adalah teknik klasik carrot and stick untuk memotivasi. Mengelola (bukan memimpin) menggunakan metode demikian relative mudah. Jika anda mengancam orang akn kehilangan pekerjaannya atau menawarkan bonus yang besar, maka sangatlah mungkin mereka mau melakukan apa saja yang biasanya tidak akan mereka lakukan.

Persoalannya adalah, bahwa metode ini tidak akan bertahan lama (not sustainable). Orang tidak akan tahan dengan kondisi yang tertekan untuk jangka waktu yang lama. Setelah beberapa lama mereka akan menyerah dan berkata "silakan pecat saya dan saya mau keluar saja". Bonus besar dan hadiah istimewapun lambat laun akan kurang menarik setelah beberapa waktu, terutama karena itu biasanya diberikann hanya kepada segelintir orang.


Para pemimpin yang tidak efektif biasanya tidak menyadari permasalahan dengan teknik ini. Mereka terus meningkatkan tekanan atau ukuran bonus dan akhirnya tidak mengerti mengapa keadaan semakin tidak sehat dan tidak terkendali.

Pemimpin yang efektif mempunyai kemampuan untuk bekerja pada tingkat yang lebih tinggi. Mereka akan sangat jarang menggunakan tekanan atau bonus, tetapi lebih banyak mengandalkan inspirasi. Mereka memberi inspirasi kepada orang untuk mencapai tujuan yang sama sekali tidak terbayangkan dan terpikirkan sebelumnya. Para pemimpin seperti inilah sebenarnya yang mempunyai pengikut.

Lalu pertanyaannya adalah, bagaimana mereka melakukan itu? Dari pengalaman kami baik dengan memperhatikan para pemimpin dan dari hasil riset beberapa literature yang ada, ada 4 (emapat) elemen utama utnuk kepemimpinan yang efektif: mempunyai pengalaman sukses, memiliki visi, menghargai orang lain, dan pribadi yang kredibel.

Orang tidak suka mengikuti "pecundang" sekalipun mereka sangat ahli. Memiliki sejarah atau pengalaman sukses juga tidak akan menjamin anda menjadi pemimpin yang efektif, namun itu merupakan persyaratan utnuk dipertimbangkan menjadi seorang pemimpin. Jika anda belum punya pengalaman sukses, maka anda harus mendapatkannya dulu. Mulailah dengan kemenagan kecil-kecil, kemudian lanjutkan lagi dengan beberapa tugas yang lebih menantang dan belajarlah dari kesalahan/kegagalan sepanjang perjalanan tersebut.

Selanjutnya, berhati-harilah jangan sampai kesuksesan yang sudah dicapai membuat anda menjadi besar kepala, karena dengan begitu anda akan kehilangan kredibilitas yang sangat penting untuk seorang pemimpin yang efektif.

Ada banyak buku dan literature lainnya yang membahas tentang visi. Kebanyakan literature tersebut mencoba menentukan suatu resep untuk menemukan visi. Namun sebenarnya tidak ada satupun diantara resep yang ditawarkan tersebut akan selalu tepat untuk berbagai situasi dan kondisi. Satu hal yang harus disadari bahwa visi yang efektif haruslah berdasarkan data dan informasi.

Seorang pemimpin yang efektif akan selalu bergelut dengan data dan informasi. Menerka menggunakan seluruh sumber data dan informasi yang tersedia, dan tidak mendelegasikan tugas tersebut kepada yang lain. Para pemimpin yang efektif mempertanyakan dan menentang status quo dan mempunyai kemampuan melihat pola yang mungkin menjadi peluang dimana orang lain tidak melihatnya.

Mereka menanyakan pertanyaan yang mendiagnosa tentang berbagai hal yang kadang jauh dibalik hal-hal yang terlihat (obvious) dan mampu memunculkan pemahaman baru yang mendasar tentang berbagai hal tersebut. Hal inilah yang akan membuat mereka mengkristalkan sebuah visi tentang masa depan yang akan menginspirasi orang lain untuk mengikuti.

Untuk membuat suatu visi yang efektif, anda harus mau berhadapan langsung dengan data dan informasi. Semakin banyak data dan informasi yang anda analisa, akan semakin baik analisa yang anda dapatkan. Para pemimpin yang efektif sangat menguasai data dan informasi tersebut sehingga mereka dapat mengutip beberapa fakta dan gambar tanpa harus melihat catatan mereka lagi. Jika anda adalh tipe orang yang bekerja di tingkat inggi dn menyerahkan detailnya kepada yang lain, saya kira and mungkin tidk akan pernah menjadi pemimpin yang efektif. Mungkin anda akn menjadi manajer yang efektif, namun bukn pemimpin yang efektif.

Para pemimpin yang efektif menyadari bahwa mereka sendiri hanya data mengerjakan sebagian kecil pekerjaan-pekerjaan penting dlam organisasi yang mereka pimpin. Mereka harus mampu membuat orang lain menerima (buy-in) visi dan rencana mereka untuk merealisasikannya. Utnuk mencapai agar yang lain menerima, harus dimulai dengan menghargai orang lain. Sudah begitu banyak mungkin pengalaman para manajer yang kurang menunjukkan penghargaan (respect) terhadap para pekerja dan tidak mengerti mengapa orang-orang tersebut tidak mendukung mereka.

Hanya dengan berjalan berkeliling dan berbincang dengan orang tentang hal yang sedang mereka kerjakan mempunyai dampak yang sangat luar biasa. Orang kan melihat anda sebagai orang sejati, dan anda dapat melihat langsung tentang apa yang sedang berlangsung. Kegiatan yang disertai diskusi seperti itu akan 10 kali lebih lengkap dan mendalam daripada mengadakan rapat sekalipun itu dihadiri oleh semua pihak terkait. Yang paling penting dari semua itu adalah dimana orang meyakini bahwa pemimpin mereka mengerti danmenghargai apa yang sedang mereka kerjakan, mereka akan menembus rintangan apapun untuk pemimpin tersebut.

11 on New Year's Resolution

The new year has arrived. This is the time to build the determination to achieve success during this year. Begin your step by creating a new resolution for success successfully achieved. Here are 11 resolutions that you can make a guide.

1. Do everything you like, and can be done well, every day.

In his famous book, First Break All the Rules: What the World's Greatest Managers Do Differently, Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman of the Gallup organization found these critical factors in an interview to 80,000 managers. In
the interview, they reduced the question to 12 questions about how they define the work environment a fun, motivating, and productive. The question is depreciated into 3 pieces: Do I know what you want from me in work? Do I have the materials and equipment necessary to do the job correctly? At work, do I have the opportunity to do the right thing every day? People who can answer questions confidently will be more happy and productive.

2. Do everything to your satisfaction every day.

As a manager or business professional, you can get caught doing something else while working. If you have family members who took time off, the problem is growing. Set the time for your personal self-interest every day for light exercise, relaxation, reflection, night cooking food, eating ice cream, write journals, gardening, walking along a pet, and various other activities that make you feel free.

3. Give yourself something of value and store them carefully if you deserve it.

In a Gallup study, this question is considered as the most productive working environment. People who get praise or recognition for his work in the past week more to feel happy and productive. One way is to keep a positive note, thanks and anything that reminds you a successful effort. Stop reviewing success after each project is completed.

4. Try to learn new things every day.


Life will feel flat and dull when you are caught in the routine things and old ways. Read the article, discuss new approaches with colleagues, doing research what other organizations on the Web. Multiple learning opportunities in the current information age.

5. Make professional contacts.

Look who just colleagues you've lost touch. Make sure you attend at least one professional meeting each month. You will benefit from friendships and relationships that have developed through active participation. It is not enough just to join. You need to participate to achieve the result of professional collaboration. Try reading a book about networks (networking), for example by networking king Harvey McKay: Dig the Well Before You're Thirsty: The Only Networking Book You'll Ever Need.
6. Professional practice values with the outside of your comfort zone.

When you are in the area comfortable (comfort zone), often thought you forgive your actions because they do not want to think about something or to avoid being involved in an issue that will make you 'into trouble'. In these circumstances, explain what you think. Other people will praise you if you want to take a stance and make a decision which is more difficult but the results are keenly felt, for example, in an effort to satisfy customers.

7. Hear more than talk.

The old adage that we have one mouth and two ears is very true. As a manager, you spent the time mainly to solve the problem. Plan this year to listen to what colleagues say. Maybe they just want to be heard, not advice or solutions to problems. Your willingness to hear empower them to solve their own problems. If they felt really listened to, they will change from passive to active in the work. In terms of Stephen Covey, mencobalah first to understand, just next to be understood.

8. Use notes and stacking purposes of planning your life, your daily involvement and a list of job you have to do.

Using the planning notes to help relieve your mind so that you can think of other things more important. For instance by buying a PDA / phone and enjoy the convenience of recording daily tasks electronically. Whether in writing or using electronic tools that suit your needs, finding out daily activities is a priority goal vs. the one thing that is very important. You'll want to ensure the complete success of the most important priority, is not it?

9. Diligent reading to continue to learn and grow.

You used to reading some business books every month and periodically read online journals and newspaper business. Perhaps it is not always achieved, but reading it will be very helpful. Try reading a variety of readings with topic-larger topics. Try the all-time out of the book business to get how other subjects enhance your viewing horizons.

10. Try a new hobby or activity this year.

Maybe this year is the opportunity to begin to add to your collection, try new hobbies and interests. Especially things that are as long as it contains intrigue and seize your attention. This will add a dimension of understanding to your world.

11. Try not always serious.

During this time, you more associated with serious things for the sake of business success. Set aside time. Try to laugh, kiss Arom cake, or pastry cook. Smile when you hear stories of employees madness ever undertaken in the work. You do not have to always be a 'dad' or 'mother' every day. Enjoy them as a little entertainment and uniqueness of life.
