Lesson 11 page 30 • Focus on the internal qualities

of a leader, not the external. Focus on the things you want to convey (say) such as: warmth, kindness, authority, knowledge and genuineness.

• You have to realize the ability to convey these qualities doesn’t just happen naturally. These things are conveyed through your use of the skills you possess.

• It’s not just a matter of knowing the right words to say, either.

• It seems to me that, instead of fretting about what we’re going to say, we ought to be in front of a mirror working on our body language…working on how we’re going to say it!

• Again, what’s the purpose of all this? Is it to manipulate people so that I can have my way with them? Is it perhaps to impress them with how slick and skilled I am as a presenter? Is it because I want to impress my bosses so I can quickly climb to the top of the corporate ladder? Or is it maybe so I can sell them something and make some big bucks?

• Why is all this important?– Leaders what to build relationships. – Understand others needs– Make a difference– Leadership is about service
