39: Two Tools To Manage Your Team Energy In Leadership
30 april 2018 · 7 min
Listen to this if you want to raise the level of positivity and energy on your team. Lees meer
Dr. Marci shared solid research on multitasking. When switching one's attention between tasks - aka multitasking - the brain: 1) slows down its processing speed and 2) provides lower-quality processing and 3) consumes more energy leaving the person tired, and with the illusion that one has been productive.
Work demands more and more energy -- meaning personal energy, (not the kind that produces electricity.) Your team needs energy to keep up with the work from "any place, any time" expectation, the need to innovate and deal with new competitors/disruption. See more at www.mixonian.com.

First, let's review luxury brand basics. Brand equity is defined as the commercial value that derives from consumer perception of the brand name of a particular product or service, rather than from the product or service itself. Luxury brands master perceptions. Perceptions drive prices. For more see www.mixonian.com

Emotional intelligence is about using your head to manage your own emotions and those of others. Emotions can be positive or negative, high intensity or low, but today's competitive market demands emotionally intelligent leaders.
Here's some intel about the feeling of jealousy....a cousin to feeling inadequate.

You may be tempted to assume you simply don't have what it takes.
It's not a BAD thing, even if though it feels bad. A visit from the green-eyed monster simply means you have work to do. The thing that's making you feel envy is where you need to direct your focus and energy. For more see www.mixonian.com/blog

33: Protect Your Precious Energy From Negative People, Especially In Leadership

To be a high performer you must protect your precious energy for the valuable life force that it is. It's tough. But you actually can build a force field around you where it's like you're Teflon coated and not susceptible to negative Nathaniels.
Speaker Jim Rohn (and other thought leaders) often say that we are the average of the 5 people with whom we spend the most time. The idea of being careful about the company you keep is not new. Similar advice is found in ancient writings from most cultures. What isn't really spelled out, is how to drop negative people from your life without feeling like a jerk. Or how not to let them bring you down. For more see www.mixonian.com/blog
