5 Tips for Tiger Growth

Xin nian kuai le. Gong xi fa cai. Nian nian you yu. And happy new lunar year.

While in the midst of the 15 days of Chinese New Year celebrations for this new year of the Golden Tiger, it's perhaps a good time to check in on your January 1st New Year's resolutions.

My guess: in the first 7 weeks of 2010, you've already abandoned some or all of these. Why?

1: inadequate checking in on YourGoals

2: insufficient leverage or accountability

3: lack of discipline to walk your talk

I'm assuming that YourGoals would have contributed positively to your life and perhaps the lives of others, so revisit them.

First: resolve to check in more frequently on YourGoals. Plan, execute, review, repeat.

Second: work with a group, an ExecCoach or someone who can hold you more accountable.

Third: increase your discipline to increase your results. Identify causes of failures, decide to shift your thinking and behaviour, and then act to achieve a clearly-defined purpose.

If you didn't make any resolutions or you'd like to add some, here are 5Tips to make this Tiger year a grrreat one for growth.

GrowthTip 1: Talking Tiger Hidden Learning

If you're always the expert, you're not listening and you might not be learning. Go and listen to a variety of specialists that can give you new insights and help you further grow and develop. Yes that means going to events, network, listen, apply. (Yes, I have just the event for you: the Singapore Leadership Development Congress).

GrowthTip 2: Tiger Learns From an Ambush

The collective for tigers is: an ambush of tigers. Bring your tigers together and bring in a specialist speaker. Then evaluate your common TeamGoal, your ExecutionTiming, your location strengths and your willingness to ActOnOpportunity. Procrastination almost always costs money. Example: booking an air ticket; if you leave it to the last minute, it'll cost you a fortune.

GrowthTip 3: Tiger Collaborates for Big Wins

Make this a year for effective collaboration. That means working together for mutual benefit and ROI. You with your strength, me with mine. If you want to fly somewhere, you collaborate with flying specialists as well as others who share a similar need and can share the cost. Similarly if you want to increase productivity and results, then you bring in productivity and results specialists (yes that is what I help businesses improve: increase profitable productivity).

GrowthTip 4: Tiger is Watchful and Restful

Tigers keenly observe what is going on. And they are well rested to ensure performance. Sleep well this year. Sleeping 8 hours a night increases productivity by 25%. If you sleep 6 hours a night, you might have 2 extra hours awake (or 8.33% of a day), but if your productivity is 25% less then that's a bad return on investment. Sleep on it. You can't be an EffectiveLeader if you're not healthy.

GrowthTip 5: Tiger seeks Courage through Faith

Tigers stand for courage and action. Be swift with your action this year. Make decisions often. Be courageous. Have faith in your purpose and your ability to succeed. When I take people through the 9 Characters to Victory in my V9 profile, it's amazing to watch people finally identify why they haven't been more Victorious. Often it comes down to their relationships with themselves, each other and, importantly, with their purpose. Have faith in your purpose.

Have a fantastic year of the Golden Tiger. Seek Victory, Listen, Learn, Collaborate, Rest, and Be Courageous.

Actions to Execute:

This year ensure you get clarity on YourGoals, check in frequently and develop those around you to help in collaborative success.

We're helping LeadersDevelop themselves and their people at the Singapore Leadership Development Congress. Make it one event that you commit to attending this year.

Also, bring in specialists to work with your people. They will bring in a fresh perspective without the perceived conflict of interest that internal speakers may convey. Have speakers work with your people in workshops, corporate events, or strategic off-sites. Focused, professional and outcome-oriented workshops can deliver extraordinary productivity gains and positive bottom line results.

You can find specialist speakers, leadership articles and magazines as well as events all of this through WalkYourTalkMedia.com, because that what we do.

To begin with: decide to come to the Congress. See below:

Walk Your Talk | LeadersClub

Thank you for clicking through to this page.


Here I will share more with you about what you will receive when you subscribe to the Walk Your Talk | LeadersClub


My name is Tim Wade. I publish Walk Your Talk magazine, own Walk Your Talk Media, host the Singapore Leadership Development Congress and own SpeakerStation.asia an online directory of international speaking experts on aspects of Leadership. I've held senior management and consulting positions in organisations in Australia and Asia and I live and run my businesses out of Singapore, an Asian business and financial hub.


The Walk Your Talk | LeadersClub is designed to deliver extraordinary value to subscribers interested in developing their leadership capability, talent, results and network.


ARTICLES
You will receive a new Leadership article in your email every week. What's different about this email is that the article contains Ideas to Implement that will make a noticeable difference to you as a Leader, and to those within your sphere of influence. Each email will also contain Actions to Execute. Knowledge is not power unless applied. Articles will be accompanied by an Executive Summary, designed for busy leaders to preview the article as well as summarise it for future revision.


VIDEO
At least once a month you will receive a video that will either be an interview with or content delivered by a Leader. These will typically cover their leadership victories as well as the challenges they have had to overcome. Also covered are their ideas for Leadership growth and business or skill improvement, and each video provides an insight into the character of the Leader.


SOURCE
You receive content from source thinkers. These are people who are developing and applying the ideas that are changing the game around us. These people are walking their talk and delivering results, with integrity, courage and persistence. We source these articles through Walk Your Talk Media's magazine editorial team, our Singapore Leadership Development Congress participants and speakers, interviews through our WYT Productions arm and from members of our Walk Your Talk LeadersClub; leaders from around the world.


NETWORK
As a WYT | LeadersClub subscriber, you'll receive advance notice of Leadership events and networking functions that will further grow your network of like-minded individuals and thinkers while hearing from global and local leaders speak and share their experiences and wisdom.


INVESTMENT
An investment is something that you put money or some other resource into in order to generate a positive return on that resource. That's exactly our mission here at the WYT | LeadersClub: To deliver 10 times the value of our subscriber contributions.


That means for your $168 monthly contribution (SGD 168 is about USD 118, EUR 88, GBP 77) we will be delivering you $1680 worth of value every month.


Of course just one idea, from just one of our leaders could generate 100 times that amount in revenue or business savings. That is an excellent ROI.


ALTERNATIVES
Why wouldn't you just find this information on the internet? Great question, and here are 3 answers:


1. some of it is not freely available on the internet, only WYT | LeadersClub subscribers will receive it


2. it's not worth your time to do that (divide your annual salary by 1680 to find your true hourly salary)

• Why 1680? Easy. There are 365 days in a year. 261 of these are weekdays. 10 of these weekdays are public holidays. 8 of these weekdays you will take off sick, and 4 you will take off for personal reasons, and 15 of these will see you on annual leave. That leaves us with 224 productive days for which you are being paid.
• Each day you are productive for 7.5 hours. This can be arrived at in a number of ways. For example: you are at work for 10 hours a day. Less 30 minutes for toilet breaks and 1 hour for lunch plus 1 hour of non-productive activity.
• So you are being paid for 7.5 productive hours per day times 224 days per year = 1680 hours.
• That means a person earning $100kpa is paid $59.50 per productive hour, while someone earning $200kpa is paid $119 per productive hour.
• Browsing through the internet looking for something you might not know you need or an idea that you haven't had, for one hour per week will cost a significant amount of money or productivity.
• For the $100kpa person, it's costing them $258 per month, and for the $200kpa person, that figure is $515 per month.
• P.S. want to earn more? be more productive...

Now although I may not know you yet, I do know that if you've read this far, then you're probably the sort of person who would invest $515 on something worth $1680, but you're also the sort of person who would NOT do that if you knew that you could get it for $168!


NO RISK
There are no long term contracts or commitments to sign, and you can cancel anytime.
Plus instead of the $168 per month, we're going to give you the first month for just SGD $8... and then you're going to have access to the subscription for just SGD $28 per month (that's about US$19.71)


MAGAZINE
Plus with you subscription we'll ensure that you receive every quarterly copy of Walk Your Talk magazine, Singapore's leading leadership and professional development magazine.

Details of speech and bio:

Beyond the Horizon – How Organisations Must Shift their Leadership thinking to embrace New Paradigms to remain Relevant and Competitive

What is re-shaping business models, leadership models, productivity models and working models at lightning speed? There are 2 key drivers of future leadership thinking: Disruption and Convergence, or how Tomorrow Happened Yesterday.
• What is Disruption and how must it be embraced in your organisation now to stay relevant?
• What is Convergence and why must we look beyond simple competition to an integrated world?
• What action must senior leaders take now to ensure their organisations are prepared to capitalise on the future and to re-examine existing thinking?
• Where is the information in our organisation, and where are the blockages?
Your will discover a new reality for old business paradigms, and what you, as a leader, need to know now to prepare yourself for the day after tomorrow.

Roger Konopasek specializes in working with dynamic enterprises living through periods of rapid and significant change: companies that are growing, downsizing, restructuring, or moving into a new phase of their development. Over the past 10 years Roger Konopasek has worked hand in hand with top executives in several of the most globally recognized companies such as HP, Philips, Dell and Citibank, supporting their leaders to create measurable accelerated rates of change in the teams. Re-shaping the way managers lead teams of highly bought-in individuals who fully align themselves with the company’s purpose and goals.
