==== ==== Structured Self Development Level 1 http://structuredselfdevelopmentlevel1.com ==== ==== IMPROVING SELF written by: Ranches Lee Hall IMPROVING SELF It is futile trying to be a leader without changing or improving who you are. The best way to exude leadership skills is by being one before you are promoted for leadership. Many people think leadership simply mean being in a position of authority when it comes to hierarchies at work or in places of influence. Leadership is about influence. It is about being able to exude authority even in a lowly position. It is the ability to influence and guide people for the better whether given the chance to do it at a higher level or not. The best leaders arise from a position of crisis. His means that they choose to rise above everything even in their position. Leadership is noticed and then highlighted and not vice versa. It is therefore wise to take steps and improve yourself to be deemed worthy of a leader. How do you improve your image for this? Self image is the first step to proper leadership. Image is everything as it is what people see first when they meet you. People can tell who you are by seeing you and spending a few moments with you. Attitude An adjusted attitude will prove if you are a leader or not. It is also a good step to improve your image. People think that image is only visual. What you portray in the first instance by looks, dressing and speech covers it all. Have a positive, aggressive and a competitive outlook towards life. Here is a difference between the two and pride. This doesn't mean pushing for self gratification but for improving lifestyles and situations. The attitude one has towards life and issues in general will definitely prove whether you are a worthy lade or not. Dressing and grooming How you spruce yourself up will determine how people perceive you. You need to look good to feel good. The first presentation of self is seen from how sharply dressed you are. This means dressing the right way for the right occasion. Come off easy and confident at the same time. The combination of these two will definitely give you an edge in competitive business. Companies want to sell an image of who they are. Being in the frontline means they will want to present a great mage of who they are. Whether in corporate or entrepreneurship, people will always perceive your business from your outlook physically. Communication Be precise and understandable. It is wise to go by the saying 'people hear what you say'. As imbalance as that statement is, it is a great policy to improve self image. People have different levels of communication meaning that they will hear things differently. You need to be a master communicator. It is wrong for a leader to say that they are misunderstood. Take communication classes if possible and build a communication style that will fit anyone you meet. This is an important front for any person since it shows a good picture about your self to the people. ==== ==== Structured Self Development Level 1
