360 Degree Leader
I just finished reading the 360 Degree Leader by John C. Maxwell and I wanted to share some golden nuggets with you.
The book focused on the concept that you do not have to be the main leader or the top leader in the organization to make a significant impact. The book broke down leadership into three categories, leading up principles, leading across, principles, and lead down principles.
Leading up principles:
-lead yourself exceptionally well
-lighten your leaders load
-be willing to do what others won’t
-do more than manage, lead
-invest in relational chemistry
-be prepared every time you take your leader’s time
-know when to push and when to back off
-become a go to person
-be better tomorrow than you are today
Lead across principles:
-listen to others; listen to understand
-find common ground
-be available beyond business hours
-have a sense of humor
-tell the truth when others don’t
-expand your circle
-expand beyond your routine
Leading down principles:
-spend time among the people, every business is a people business
-see everyone as a 10, get more out of your people because you think more of them
-develop each team member as a person, catch them doing something right, positive reinforcement
-place people in their strength zones; allow them to work in their strengths
-model the behavior you desire, change the culture by changing your behavior
-transfer the vision,
-reward for results, give praise publicly and privately, good leaders take care of their people, if you want to attract and keep good people you will pay them what they are worth
Leadership is not a title, it's a behavior. Before you lead others there are things you can do to prepare
yourself.

Growing my resume!
Do you consider courses/professional certificates on Coursera to be valuable and/or worth the time? I have degrees, but there are some certifications that I feel would bulk my resume if Coursera is respected.

Is anyone else experiencing significant challenges in their job search these days?
As a creative director who left their job earlier this year, I've been receiving rejection emails left and right from automated systems. Am I the only one facing this, or is there something unique happening in the job market?

I really loved the job fair we had today, very useful, and made some new connections.
I advise others to attend the next event.

Sending positive vibes to everyone!
Just felt like the community could use a sprinkle of encouragement today.
I may not know your exact situation but I wanted YOU to know that I SEE you and I'm PROUD of you. I know it's a weird time (a lot is going on) but you've got this. Breathe through it and DON'T GIVE UP.
You are capable.
You are supported.
You are valued.
You are loved.
You are needed.
You are powerful.
You are light.
You are amazing.
I hope everyone has a good rest of the week.

to add to the 4 months notice denied PTO
I am loyal and been with the company for more than 25 years ; good attendance and employee of the month and season too.
I think he should cut me a slack and approve it. ( still on the works but made me really upset )
