1. Find a vision:
Set short-term goals to achieve overall success
it provides the inspiration for the difficult things I need to do.
So many leaders talk about goals and talk about a vision but they don't make it exciting, compelling or engaging enough for people to want to achieve it.
The great leaders are the ones that can create that enthusiasm for long-term success which drives everyday behaviors in their team.
2. Feedback is your best friend:
The people who want to improve are ready to identify their weaknesses and ask others for constructive criticism.
In a corporate environment, however, people can be reluctant to invite feedback because they are nervous about how they are going to be judged.
In business the higher you are in an organization the less support you receive, or people will not offer feedback as they may be wary of you.
Get People to judge you... Provide a feedback.
3. Unshakable self-belief:
Self-confidence versus self-esteem.
It's important to remember that respect can't be lost in the blink of an eye.
Earn your respect and cherish that as well.
You must expect to lose as often as you win—maybe more.
But you have to put those performances into context as steps toward the ultimate goal.
On an individual basis, self-esteem is deep lying and built upon successes and setbacks over the course of a lifetime. As such it will not be affected by things that happen day-to-day but will be swayed over longer periods of time.
Self-confidence, however, is affected in the short term by everyday events. Self confidence can afford to take a few knocks, but it's vital to maintain self-esteem by reminding yourself of your successes in the past and that overall, your quality will shine through.
4.Controlling the controllable: There is so much out there that you think could be relevant to make you perform, but the real trick is to recognize the things that will really make a difference and make them your focus.
After that, it is simply a case of controlling your reaction to everything else.
5.Recognizing pressure as a positive:
I know that I can perform at my best when I am under pressure.
I don't necessarily like it.
I still get racked with self-doubt and nerves—but I know when I am in that situation I have to accept that feeling as it produces the best from me.
It's only halfway through the race that I realize I have found strength that I didn't know was there.
In a business environment there are high-pressure situations to be dealt with every day, but often that pressure can help you become focused, sharp and at your best.
The key is to recognize the symptoms and embrace them.
You have to re-frame the situation so it ceases to be a threat and becomes an opportunity.
A vital coping strategy is to ensure you have other things in your life.
I think that what I do isn't tough compared to a 10-year-old facing the world and competing for the first time.
