Leadership

Hi everyone!

Today after "5 days off" visiting Konstanz to see people who I care, I came back to the reality again, my master.

Probably you do not know but I am studying International business management master in Carinthia (Austria). As management study, today I had a very interesting master class in Leadership by Mr.Sternad (one of the best professor I ever had).

The topic was learning and developing others. Many of you maybe do not know what Leadership is. We can find plenty of definitions in Internet but today I learnt one that I really liked it:

"A two-way, reciprocal relationship that influences both individuals and the organisation as a whole. It is about how to build the confidence in someone´s else"

So as not to get to deeply in every single detail I would like just to point out what I found more interesting and inspiring in order to improve yourself.


  • Building confidence to others. Not everyone has self-confidence as a skill. A good leader may be able to develop in other people. 
  • Listening to others. On your way of leadership you might bump into people who are unmotivated or do not have a direction in his day-a-day. Therefore, the real leader must be able to listen, in first instance, to those people who need help. Even more, that is not just suitable in those cases, everyone has the need of being listened. If we are able to listen other, we increase our likelihood to figure out what is going on inside other´s mind, what is valuable for them, what could be motivating for them, and so on and so forth.
  • Analyze the situation. There are many styles that a good leader can adapt or performance. Nonetheless, we must analyze first how is the environment that surrounds us in order to adapt ourselves in the best way to success. Success is being able to transmit people your ideas, your direction of achieving your goals, to communicate and performance 100%.
  • Emotions. Everyone start their reaction and behaviours from their emotions. So if we want to influence others or motivate them we must try to figure out what are their feelings in order to use them to encourage them to get the right direction.
To conclude today´s session I would like to have a mention to the opportunity. There is a equation that I learnt today which is Performance = motivation x ability + opportunity. So, if you want to performance or try to develop yourself you must get an opportunity and carry through it. Besides, you should analyze before whether you have the motivation to do it or the skill. In addition, if you do not have the courage to implement it you will never know if you are capable of or not. Therefore, I am writing this blog, to check myself, to see if I am able to overcome my weakness of writing my ideas in another language.

I hope you learnt something from this entry! 


Have a nice day!

Making champions

Today I am going to talk you very briefly about some key points when treating with young people. Those are very simple but simultaneously quite effective. Although I will go through different aspects, all of these points are focused in a primary need which helps developing effective people: principle-centered character. Therefore, it is important to give positive feedback, to encourage interests, to create a family culture and last but not least giving support, resources and feedback. One day I learnt how big the impact from positive feedback can be. How many times did we give or have got feedback in a negative way? Have you ever thought to give the opposite? Praising people for what they have done successfully? Whenever you give feedback, try to do it in a constructive way, whether is positive or negative. A big percentage of the self-esteem is based on receiving nice words from our job. If you want to improve the motivation of people, whether they are your employees, colleague...

Do it with passion

Hi all! I've been taking a deep breath before I come back to share with you what I've learnt... It's been already three months since I started what I consider the best job position I ever had. Why? I believe that there are three key points that must be present one way or another in your job to keep your self-esteem up: Challenges, Ongoing Learning and Passion! Challenges Reaching a Sunday evening to plan my week tells me the level of challenge I have in my current role. It is when I discover that a new thing is coming, something I've never done before but without doubts, makes me feel more alive than ever because it pushes me to continuously re-invent myself to get ready to perform what I might have to do. As a Social Selling Coach, you face different coaches profiles that get me to think differently, to use different ways to let them see how good the change is going to be for them. But most importantly, I open myself to different perspectives, diversifying m...
