Want to become a strong leader?

About me

For longtime I used to think to develop my leadership skills. Even though I had led the teams in my last two companies, I found that I am weak in few areas. Basically I am shy and not good at communication.

Because of my shyness and communication, my growth was very slow.

Many times I thought to improve my leadership ability. When I had interest, I did not have proper resources. When I had recourse, I did not have interest.

End of the last year (2013), I felt importance of leadership skills in my life. So I decided to learn them.

Last week I attended one "Leadership Development Program", which was contacted by my office.

End of the program, the trainer suggested some books to read. So we bought 16 books and shared them among us.

As my share, I got "Developing the leader within you" by John C. Maxwell. It was already sold over 1,000,000 copies. 

About Author

John has more than twenty five years experience in teaching leadership principles. He conducts the training USA and Europe countries. He is a winner of New York Times Best-Selling Author of "The 21 irrefutable laws of leadership and failing forward".

About Book

I went through this book once I received this. The book has been written with simple English with suitable examples. 

It contains 10 chapters with 200 pages.

 

I want to summarize the points from each chapter and post here. This may be good introduction about this book to read in future.

Introduction

First let’s see the summary of the Introduction of this book.

Author John says,

“Everything rises and falls on leadership.”

“You cannot produce consistently on a level higher than your leadership.”

“Leadership is not an exclusive club for those who were "born with in"”.

“Leadership is developed, not discovered.”

He categorized leadership as four levels. Those are

1. The Leading Leader

2. The Learned Leader

3. The Latent Leader

4. The Limited Leader

He says “everyone in the world will fit in one of four above categories”.

He continues,

“So many books are available for improving leadership, but very few only really speak about leadership. Rest of them teaches only management.”

He defines different between leadership and management as follows,

"Management is the process of assuring that the program and objectives of the organization are implemented. On the other hand, Leadership has to do with casting vision and motivating people."

"People don't want to be managed, but they want to be lead."

Note

I took only the juice from the introduction. You can buy this book online and read.

 

Please wait for first chapter "The Definition of Leadership - INFLUENCE"

Feel free to comment your suggestion which will be great encouragement to write more.

Thank you.

10 Benefits of Green Tea

Why Green Tea?

Green tea has been used as a medicine for thousands of years, originating in China but widely used throughout Asia this beverage has a multitude of uses from lowering blood pressure to preventing cancer. The reason that green tea has more health benefits attached to it than black tea is (apparently) due to the processing. Black tea is processed in a way that allows for fermentation whereas green tea’s processing avoids the fermentation process. As a result, green tea retains maximum amount of antioxidants and poly-phenols the substances that give green tea its many benefits.

Here’s a list of some of its amazing benefits — benefits that you may not have been aware of. Some of these benefits are still being debated, so please do your own research if you want to use green tea for medicinal purposes.

1. Weight Loss. Green tea increases the metabolism. The polyphenol found in green tea works to intensify levels of fat oxidation and the rate at which your body turns food into calories.
2. Diabetes. Green tea apparently helps regulate glucose levels slowing the rise of blood sugar after eating. This can prevent high insulin spikes and resulting fat storage.
3. Heart Disease. Scientists think, green tea works on the lining of blood vessels, helping keep them stay relaxed and better able to withstand changes in blood pressure. It may also protect against the formation of clots, which are the primary cause of heart attacks.
4. Esophageal Cancer. It can reduce the risk of esophageal cancer, but it is also widely thought to kill cancer cells in general without damaging the healthy tissue around them.
5. Cholesterol. Green tea reduces bad cholesterol in the blood and improves the ratio of good cholesterol to bad cholesterol.
6. Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. It is said to delay the deterioration caused by Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Studies carried out on mice showed that green tea protected brain cells from dying and restored damaged brain cells.
7. Tooth Decay. Studies suggests that the chemical antioxidant “catechin” in tea can destroy bacteria and viruses that cause throat infections, dental caries and other dental conditions
8. Blood Pressure. Regular consumption of green tea is thought to reduce the risk of high blood pressure.
9. Depression. Theanine is an amino acid naturally found in tea leaves. It is this substance that is thought to provide a relaxing and tranquilizing effect and be a great benefit to tea drinkers.
10. Anti-viral and Anti-bacterial. Tea catechins are strong antibacterial and antiviral agents which make them effective for treating everything from influenza to cancer. In some studies green tea has been shown to inhibit the spread of many diseases.
11. Skincare. Green tea can apparently also help with wrinkles and the signs of aging, This is because of their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Both animal and human studies have demonstrated that green tea applied topically can reduce sun damage.

How Much?

These are some of the many benefits but the reality is one cup of tea a day will not give you all the abundant gains. The jury is out on how many cups are necessary; some say as little as two cups a day while others five cups — and more still say you can drink up to ten cups a day. If you are thinking of going down this route, you may want to consider taking a green tea supplement instead (it would keep you out of the bathroom).

Another thing to point out is that there is caffeine in green tea — so if you are sensitive to caffeine then one cup should be your limit. Green tea also contains tannins (which can decrease the absorption of iron and folic acid), so if you are pregnant or trying to conceive then green tea may not be ideal for you. You can try mixing green tea with other healthy ingredients such as ginger.

For the rest of us with all these abundant benefits…it’s a wonder we drink anything else.
