Manipulation is cheating not leading.
Receiving praise, expanding your influence, and winning friends & allies is a lot simpler than you think—and you don’t need a weekend workshop or bestselling book on manipulation to find out how. Here it is: hard work, integrity, and authenticity are all it takes to make lasting friends in business and life. A strategic mind, awesome resume’, and nice headshot don’t make you the person people want to be around and endorse – it’s all to do with your attitude and actions. By embracing this reality, remaining true to yourself, and selflessly serving others along the way, you’ll forever be able to count on those you’ve met on your journey to stand with you in crisis. Are you the kind of leader and friend people fall in love with?
Being a leader can be demanding on the mind and body, so it helps to make your physical and mental health a priority amongst all your other to-dos. You’ve heard it all before: sleep deprivation reduces alertness; being too busy leads to errors; lack of freedom in the workplace reduces creativity – so it just doesn’t make sense to work yourself beyond your capacity. Breathe, take short breaks often, and find joy throughout your day. Try this: to reduce stress, establish “do not disturb” time during your day for 30 minutes of focus/quiet time. Physically find what works for you – yoga, basketball, jogging, or even “chair calisthenics” – and commit to some form of physical activity a few times each week. How did you exercise your mind and body today?
