{"product_id":"2940012340245","title":"Living an Inspired Life and Inspiring Others","description":"How to Inspire\u003cbr\u003e―If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.‖ - John Quincy Adams A place that could do with loads of inspired behavior is your workplace. How do you inspire yourself and your colleagues into working better? Or in the words of a thesaurus, how do you animate, stimulate, invigorate, energize, galvanize and revolutionize them into action? One truth stands out from among the thousands of corporate self-help lines tossed around nowadays – There is no leadership except leadership by example! You must inspire your workforce by being a role model of dynamic, efficient and honest work. Modern gurus say – don‘t work hard, work smart. But to achieve that level of efficiency, one has to work hard indeed. Your perseverance and courage will empower your team to step out of their comfort zones and do better. When you exceed your own expectations, your staff will seek to do the same. In these harsh recession days, employees are watching how much you make and how much the top guns reward you. If you flash past your workers in a Ferrari, that is not going to inspire them. But if you take part of your bonus and spend it on a workshop or creativity seminar for your staff, they will be moved and roused by your selfless action. Steer clear of backroom politics, your workers will respect you more if you skip the spin speak and nasty gossip. You can hold your staff to high standards, but don‘t expect them to get there overnight. Don‘t give them that lecture of praise only on retirement day. Praise progress, it will give a lilt to their step and they will love you for it. Talk less and listen more. Empathize with everyone at a genuine level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTable Of Contents\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1:\u003cbr\u003eLiving an Inspired Life\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2:\u003cbr\u003eQualities for Inspired Living\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3:\u003cbr\u003eGardener of the Mind\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4:\u003cbr\u003eHow to Inspire\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5:\u003cbr\u003eSimple Ways to Re-Inspire You\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6:\u003cbr\u003eYour Hidden Cheerleader\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7:\u003cbr\u003eThe Chain of Inspiration\u003cbr\u003eChapter 8:\u003cbr\u003eFilling the Creative Well\u003cbr\u003eChapter 9:\u003cbr\u003eInspirational Speakers in Cyberspace\u003cbr\u003eChapter 10:\u003cbr\u003eInspiration for Creative Artists","brand":"Lou Diamond","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47068361326832,"sku":"2940012340245","price":1.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012340245_p0.jpg?v=1763567570","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012340245","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
