This document discusses transformational leadership and how to become a transformational leader. It emphasizes that transformational leaders get the best from themselves so they can help others, see the world with new eyes, understand people, empower individuals, and facilitate change by developing others. The key aspects of transformational leadership highlighted are being confident, demonstrating integrity, respecting others, managing stress, being in control while accepting responsibility, believing you can make a difference, and realizing you must change first to change others.
The document provides tips for managing difficult personalities in the workplace, describing common challenging personality types such as The Droner, The Aggressor, The Panic Button, and The Procrastinator. It advises managers to understand different personality types, address issues respectfully, avoid personal attacks, and apply strategies tailored to each personality challenge.

This document discusses leadership versus dominance from a psychological and brain-based perspective. It describes how different parts of the human brain - the reptilian brain, paleolimbic brain, neolimbic brain, and prefrontal cortex - relate to different types of behaviors and leadership styles. Dominance is defined as behavior driven by the reptilian and paleolimbic brains focused on power, intimidation, and self-interest. True leadership, on the other hand, engages the neolimbic brain related to identity and the prefrontal cortex enabling innovation, adaptability, and consideration of others. The document contrasts how dominance rises in organizations through internal politics versus leadership aiming to improve the organization as a whole.

Barry Saiff: CARVE and SLAP Your Way to THRIVE as a ManagerJack Molisani
The document discusses managing technical writers and teams. It provides advice on developing skills like CHARM (Curiosity, Humility, Awareness, Respect, Mastery), treating management as a sacred trust to empower people, providing regular training and feedback, and embracing diversity and cultural differences to succeed in a global environment. The speaker advocates caring for people, enabling excellence, and being an authentic and inspiring leader.
Listening is one of the most important communication skills, accounting for over 50% of our time. However, many people are poor listeners due to distractions, boredom, or focusing on what they want to say rather than listening. There are also types of poor listeners like bashful people who demand attention, anxious people who are nervous chatterers, and argumentative or closed-minded people. To improve listening skills, one must be motivated to change, avoid distractions, pay attention without anticipating what will be said, and provide feedback to the speaker by paraphrasing.
Professional women in various sectors are still facing challenges as they make efforts to wade their way into influential positions of leadership. Some of their biggest challenges are found in the patriarchal environment in which they operate where male dominance is a huge obstacle in their professional career development. So how can women maintain their etiquette and professionalism yet still find space to grow as leaders?

HRDQ-U Webinar - How You Come Across to Others - 2018-12-17HRDQ-U
This document outlines a training session on influence styles. It will explore why influence is an important skill, define influence style, and review four common styles: openly aggressive, concealed aggressive, passive, and assertive. For each style, the document describes indicators like thoughts, emotions, verbal and nonverbal behavior, costs and benefits. It emphasizes that no one exhibits only one style and influence involves understanding others' perspectives. The goal is to help participants recognize styles and work towards assertive, win-win communication.
Communication requires skill in listening and exchanging information with others. It is a two-way process that involves carefully preparing messages and staying alert to ensure the audience understands correctly. Developing strong interpersonal communication skills includes listening actively, showing interest in others, maintaining eye contact and a relaxed body language, asking questions, and learning from each interaction. Regular practice is important to improve communication and presentation abilities over time through training, coaching, and incorporating feedback.
Communication requires skill in listening and exchanging information with others. It is a two-way process that involves carefully preparing messages and staying alert to ensure the audience understands correctly. Developing strong communication skills involves being honest, interested in others, thinking before speaking, avoiding aggression, using plain language, and taking time. Nonverbal cues like eye contact and body language also greatly impact communication. Good interpersonal skills include listening, asking questions, relaxing, smiling, being assertive but not pushy, showing enthusiasm, learning from interactions, and gaining feedback to improve over time. Effective presentations have a clear introduction, body, and conclusion to tell the audience what will be covered and reinforce the main points.
The document summarizes principles from Dale Carnegie's books "How to Win Friends and Influence People" and "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living". Some key principles are to avoid criticism and complaining, show genuine interest in others, let others talk about themselves, see things from others' perspectives, praise improvements, keep busy and fill one's mind with positive thoughts to overcome worry.
Difficult coworkers exist in every workplace. Do you know how to handle them? The actions and personality traits of difficult people make it hard to work with them. They come in many types.
■The chatterbox never stops talking and prevents work from getting done. Chatterboxes include those who gossip and share “too much information.” (TMI!)
■The criticizer/complainer is a negative person who never says anything good about anyone. The complaints go on and on!
■The illusionist promises the world, but later doesn’t follow through and fails to meet commitments.
■The glory hog wants power, credit, and the spotlight, whether deserved or not.
■The delegator never completes his or her fair share of the work and always has an excuse such as "I'm sick." or "I have to pick up my kids." The key to intervention is to interrupt the difficult coworker’s pattern early in your relationship or it will only get worse. If you don’t, you could be blamed later when conflict with the difficult person becomes a pattern others notice—such as your boss.
