</span></span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;">It takes a degree of self-confidence and self-assurance to arrive at a leadership position. Having gotten there, it is natural to take pride in those accomplishments that were critical along the way. Recognizing our own accomplishments alone can block seeing the contributions of others. We can lose sight of another important leadership quality, staying humble, and forgetting that others played a part in our success. If our efforts focus on self-promotion, we’ll never be truly successful as leaders.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;">Remember how it felt to do a good job and have someone respected say “Well done!” Let's take that one step further and challenge us to recall how it felt when we did a good job and did not hear those magic words, “Job well done” from someone whom we know meant it.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;"><strong>Perseverance (Resist Giving Up)</strong></div>
</span></div>
</strong>
<div>In 1776, the very first year of the revolution, George Washington and his army lost the first four battles of the war with the British (Brooklyn, Long Island, Manhattan and White Plains) but he learned through those initial experiences and was able to turn the tide at Trenton and Princeton.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Washington learned from his defeat. He remained focused totally on the mission of the army. He never forgot what was at stake, and he never gave up. In his correspondence with the Continental Congress, and in his general orders to his troops, he constantly referred to the need for perseverance in the face of adversity.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Without his remarkable ability to convey his perseverance to the army, the American Revolution might have ended as just another rebellion, and we might have portraits of the Queen in every court house in the nation! </div>

Social marketing is trying to overtake more traditional marketing and advertising strategies, but there is still a strong need for, and response to, traditional forms.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #660000;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">A: </span></strong></span>The lack of <em>personal </em>communication. As e-mail and texting have emerged, working relationships have become less personalized. Some people have allowed themselves to believe that e-mail is an adequate substitute; however there is no substitute for direct interaction.</span> </div>

<div style="text-align: left;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #660000;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">A: </span></strong></span><span style="color: #660000;"> </span>Positively. Globalization is no longer just the domain of huge multinational corporations. The internet has allowed small, independently owned businesses into the game. I have a friend with a small company in NYC who does more business overseas than he does in the United States… all out of a two room office. Through a web site and web marketing tools (Skype, Facebook, Twitter) his business is thriving without his leaving his office.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div> </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #851e20;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">A: </span></strong></span>The de-humanization of business. By “watching overhead” there is a danger of technology replacing, not enhancing offerings. Companies should retain their humanness because <em>people</em> buy products and services from<em> people</em>, even over the Internet. They may order products on line, but they want to know that human beings are in place to service their needs. They don’t want an e-mail address to be the end game.</span></div>

Too many young people have been rewarded for just showing up (sports, school, etc.), not being expected to both win and experience losing. Subsequently, they don’t handle adversity well, even though there is plenty to go around in these difficult economic times. Having a seasoned executive coaching/mentoring, is the greatest asset a company can have.</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 9pt;">
