How to Build Success
At some point in the development of most Non-Profit organizations, the question of whether they need an Executive Committee arises. Usually this is the result of one of the following situations:1) Board members have seen Executive Committees on other boards so they form one because "that's the way it's done". 2) The founding or dominant members of the board get frustrated with having the whole board in on every discussion and form the Executive Committee so they can make decisions faster – and “get things done”. 3) The Board finds themselves lacking direction and order and wants their work to be better coordinated.What is Typical?In many organizations, the Executive Committee is composed of the Board Officers, often joined by the chairs of most or all board committees.Typically, the defined role of the Executive Committee is to:1) Establish the agendas for Board meetin
Three characteristics of successful people are:
• Goal direction
They know where they stand, where they want to go and have a plan to get there.
• Self motivation
As self starters, they wind their own clock.
• Positive mental attitude
Successful people look for ways to complete tasks. They focus on strengths and break self-imposed limitations created by low self esteem.
These traits are interrelated. Strengthen one and you strengthen them all. Success breeds more success through increasing momentum.
Goal Direction:
A much quoted study found that the three percent of the population who created a specific written plan became not only financially independent but out produced those with only general goals by 10 to 100 times.
Goal directed action leads to success, which arrives when you make that first step towards a goal, not when you reach your goal. Every action step you take towards your goal is a success that brings you closer to the end result you want.
You can learn the skill of goal direction. Effective CEOs provide goal training and instill goal direction through the planning process. They ensure expected results when they hold themselves and their organization accountable.
When employees meet their personal goals while helping the company meet its goals, they make great achievements possible. Effective CEOs build an environment where personal and organizational goals complement each other.
Self-Motivation
Motivation, the sum of two words, motive and action, is the reason a person takes an action. Motivation, movement towards a goal, is goal directed action.
In the business world, motivation often arises from fear or incentives, both of which are generated by another person and temporary in nature.
For instance, an employee might be scared by the threat of losing a bonus. Over time people build immunity to fear in that they work just hard enough to get the job done then stop taking action. They don’t grow and develop to their full potential.
Incentives are often part of an employee’s compensation plan. For example, a sales incentive plan can effectively increase sales in the short run. However, today’s incentive plan often becomes tomorrow’s expectation. As the reward becomes expected, the incentive must increase.
Self motivation, however, is internal, permanent and unique to each individual. We motivate ourselves. When we work and live through self-motivation, we take more control over our lives than we could ever imagine having, much like a thoroughbred horse that runs for the thrill of running. The joy and excitement of doing something we love brings great achievement and meaning to our lives.
Positive Mental Attitude
Which would you rather have as an employee or co-worker, a person with a positive attitude and average skills or a person with high skills and a negative attitude?
Effective leaders understand that attitude is everything. We heighten success when we look for ways to accomplish our goals rather than make excuses.

Having worked in the armed forces for years it can be difficult to know what to do regarding work once you have left. It is easy for some who have the necessary skills and contacts to go immediately into employment but for others there is a large gap between leaving and finding the right job.A lot of people in the ex services are looking towards franchising as a good option, they have the money to invest (retirement gratuity funds or savings), the self motivation and dedication to work which has been instilled in them from years of discipline and hard graft.The advantages of choosing the franchising option are immediately obvious in that you are buying into an already successful business where the returns are noticeable, you are your own boss but at the same time have an upper management to keep you in the right direction and the return on investment is one which can set you and your family up for life.It m

Sooner than later, the lines at your local fast food joints will be filled with more summer job seekers than hungry customers. Mallrats will be replaced by well-mannered students with r?sum?s in hand. And your parents will begin a steady, annoying cadence that will only end when you’ve got a place to finally stamp your timecard:“Have you’ve found a job yet… Have you’ve found a job yet? Have you’ve found a job yet?!?!”Well, have you?Sure, you can choose to diss the job search all together, and spend the summer bored, broke and having to do mom and dad’s laundry every morning just to pass the time. But that’s just awkward for everyone.In other words, you need a job. And in order to beat the flood of slackers that will spill onto the ‘Net and into stores once we work our way into June, you need to start looking now.

We all succumb to the annual ritual of making a bunch of resolutions about how we will change our lives with the start of the New Year: eat better and healthier foods, exercise more, reorganize our rather hectic and stressful lives in order to live longer, and learn to enjoy what we have. In most instances, regardless of how dedicated we are to these resolutions, most of our good intentions give way to the realities and pressures of everyday living, and before we know it, we are pretty much back to where we were on December 31.Executive compensation is, in many ways, treated very much the same way. Boards and their Compensation Committees set forth their resolutions on how they will tighten up the criteria for governing and determining executive compensation going forward. Some of this idealism is internally generated based on reasonableness and a strong sense of responsibility on the Board’s part. Unfortunately, thi

How to Build Success Traits
Effective CEOs use these four action steps to build success traits in their management team:
• Create a positive work environment.
People respond to their environment. Build an environment where people want to be and want to do their best.
• Encourage people to stretch for professional development.
Most people want to progress and grow. Effective leaders make a point of learning what motivates their employees and then give personal and organizational encouragement.
• Strive for excellence.
Help people hold themselves accountable for their personal goals. Hold them accountable for organizational goals.
• Share power to create personal commitment to key initiatives.
An effective leader understands that sharing power is the most effective way to build personal motivation. When participants take intellectual and emotional ownership of the initiative, they become part of the solution and develop personal commitment to the outcome.
How to Build Self Esteem
Effective leaders understand that attitude is crucial and that self esteem, the sum of our conditioning from an early age, affects it in many ways. Leaders raise the self esteem of their employees by helping them:
• Avoid comparison to others.
When we compare ourselves to others we set ourselves up for disappointment. Someone always has better experience or is a more polished speaker. The only relevant measure of personal improvement is to compare our capabilities from yesterday to our capabilities today
• Resist putting yourself down.
Don’t let the person in the mirror become a block. Understand your starting point and set a goal to change. Once you start to actively work towards a goal, you create success not at the end point but during the game. Every day you work towards the culmination of your long range goals.
• Improve a discipline in some part of your life.
Working to fulfill your goals gives you an incentive to do more and do it better each day. When you consistently take the right actions, you feel better about yourself and regularly reach a higher plateau.
• Celebrate small victories.
Recognize that each step you complete towards your goals is a positive accomplishment that takes you closer to your final objective. You raise your effectiveness every day.
Summary
The difference between being average and successful is small. A successful person doesn’t work harder, he or she works with a distinct goal in mind. For this reason effective CEOs strive to strengthen success traits in themselves and their employees.
Personal and organizational successes go together. When employees meet their personal goals as they help the organization meet its goals, they make great achievements possible. Effective CEOs build an environment where personal and organizational goals complement each other.
They build a positive work environment where people stretch toward excellence. They share power with their management team to bring the full effect of personal motivation to organizational initiatives.
Effective CEOs build an organization of committed people who together accomplish great feats. They believe in the adage:
“Self motivation is the power that raises you to any level you s
