From Dr. Linne Bourget for Positive Leaders--December 2016/January 2017
Before You Even Think of Setting Goals, Read This!!
Santa's 2016 Leadership Checklist--What Would He Say About You?

I was thinking about doing the usual inspirational poem for the holidays, then Santa popped in with a great idea!

Welcome to Santa's quick year in review mini-workshop for leaders, and yes, it's more than being nice!  This is Nice 2.0, or even better, Nice exponentialized!

Take time to answer these key questions...what would Santa put in your stocking? My senior executive clients review everything at year's end to make sure they are poised for greater success.

1.  How appreciative are you of those who work with you? How high is your Appreciative Quotient(R) AQ?
2.  How well do you manage and leverage your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual power in your business?
3.  How much are you stretching to learn new things and grow as a leader?
4.  How precisely do you focus on your leadership technique?
5.  How powerfully do you persist in your business?
6.  How attuned are you to the inner world or spiritual level of your business, yourself and those working with you?
7. How strongly do you use positive leadership to protect your business from the negative factors in the world? How high is your Positive Quotient(R) PQ?
8. How effectively do you delegate?  Are you burning out?  Seeing health problems?
9. How deeply do you know your own strengths?  How many can you list? Hint: You need at least 50 to succeed! (If this is hard, we can help you! I am the national pioneer in appreciative strengths-based leadership systems.)

How would you answer these questions?
What are you doing well?  Where do you need to focus for stronger leverage?

As the year winds down, your answers to these can help you plan for 2017, so please keep these in mind before planning!

I appreciate all your work and businesses and your positive leadership commitments!

For Positive Leaders: What You Say Is What You Get®--In a Crazier World, Get Saner! Do the Math!

Welcome, Leaders,

The external environments for your companies seems riskier and crazier every day.
More negative factors, dangers and risks seem to steal your time and your profits.
Political events, violence, weak unprotective leadership, out of control illegal unethical behavior, weak economies, and business-unfriendly policies are have reached the point of insanity.

These conditions frighten you and your employees, understandably so. Only those in
a fog of denial are not smart enough to be scared...they are choosing numbness. 

Yet you still have the responsibility to lead your company and inspire greater results.
How do you circle the wagons, how do you give your employees a greater sense of protection and possibility for greater innovation and results amid the craziness?

Starting as an Economist before becoming a Behavioral Scientist and Change Leadership expert, I fell in love with Math, head over heels, at the University of Chicago.  There was no going back...from then on, I always think mathematically. 

Thus:  Since the external environment is putting more negative factors into your company,
you need to balance this with more positive factors just to stay even, and then more positive factors to gain a net positive balance psychologically.

This is of course challenging but essential to master, a skill all leaders need to survive.  This
does not mean whitewashing issues of course, but it does mean mastering seeking, creating, standing for, and commenting on positive factors in your company, with great skill, from the heart.  Your job as leader is to make sure you and all the other leaders in your company have the skills and consistency to do this. This will be different in different firms, of course, one size does not fit all.

It is easy to get caught up in giving more attention to negative factors, but ignoring the need for positive factors to balance your firm's culture and psyche will work against you.

"When you forget the positive, you have lost control".  Dr Linne's Power Quote

To be a truly powerful leader, you need to master the positive deeply and systematically. Only this creates a real-time collaborative culture unleashing the best talent and managing risks as quickly and effectively as possible. Employees don't speak up if they are afraid of their bosses.  They speak up if their bosses see, appreciate and fully apply everyone's best.

Peace and prosperity to you all.
Dr. Linne

From Dr. Linne for Positive Leaders--What Crucial Resource Can You Not See? August 2015

From Dr. Linne for Positive Leaders--What Crucial Business Resource Can You Not See? August 2015

Dear Clients, Colleagues, Friends and Family,

Welcome to Dr. Linne Bourget's What You Say Is What You Get® Positive Leadership Monthly Newsletter! 

Recently I gave some very clear positive feedback to a fellow entrepreneur (not a client) and he deflected it!  He did not see or own his own greatness!
As a result he is not taking advantage of expansion opportunities for his firm.

This sparked reflections on my client executives, most of whom have been brilliant, highly educated at top schools, leaders in their fields and very successful.
What have they taught me about strengths as a leadership focus? When I began my appreciative leadership work, no one else was doing this and there was no research to guide my Ph.D. dissertation, so clients became guideposts.

1.  They usually do not see or under-see their strengths and greatness in depth, compared to what I see in them.
2.  They are uncomfortable discussing strengths and do not know how to until they have learned my business-friendly language system for this.
3.  They have no idea how much money they leave lying on the road from not seeing/applying strengths to their bottom line systematically in all leadership behavior.

I saw this when starting my positive strengths-based leadership work and was, and still am, amazed. 

How can this be? How can these best and brightest not see their best? Excutives have often been surprised that I can see their strengths quickly when they cannot, even though they have worked together for years!

"Without full knowledge of your best, you have only half the truth - the worst half."
Dr. Linne’s Power Quote

I learned that the culture rarely supports discussing strengths and greatness in depth.
As a result, we have massive under-use of strengths because so few are really seen and applied via all leadership behavior systematically.
This means lower profits, more stress and struggle and a lot less fun!
After all, what resource is more crucial for business success than your leadership team's strengths?

Even companies assessing strengths do not have an integrated set of strengths-based leadership systems to apply strengths  to the bottom line, starting with a road-tested Engine and Four Wheels strengths communication system.

There’s a saying: "An opportunity sustains an enterprise for a year; good management sustains an enterprise for a decade;  good corporate culture sustains an enterprise for a century."

How clear is your company's culture about basing success on strengths?
How deeply do you and your team see strengths?
How thoroughly do you have comprehensive systems in place for strengths-based leadership?

Only have you have done both well can you maximize success, profits, and keep the best talent!
One of my first client teams increased revenue by 35-40% in just a few months using this approach!
How about you?  How skilled are you in this?  How high are your Positive Quotient®PQ and your Appreciative Quotient®AQ? If I interviewed your teams, how would they rate you on this?

Peace and Prosperity to You!
Dr. Linne

What You Say Is What You Get(R)--For Positive Leaders: How Do You "Tax" Your Business?

 From Dr. Linne for Positive Leaders-How Do You "Tax" Your Business Without Knowing? 3 Hidden Sources of Profit--April 2015

Welcome to Dr. Linne Bourget's What You Say Is What You Get(R) Positive Leadership Monthly Newsletter!

This time of year, we complain about taxes, and in this environment with good reason!!
We may not be able to control taxes but we can control our own "taxing" behavior.

As I have observed over 1000 leaders and their businesses for over 30 years, I have had many chances to
observe leaders adding to or subtracting from their bottom lines.

What are the three things leaders do that stand out to strengthen or tax/weaken their profits?
The answers may surprise you!

Tax #1. Lack of systematic positive leadership culture.  First and most costly, leaders who do not have a consisten, systematic, positive leadership culture are leaving lots of lovely money lying on the road. Upsets, misunderstandings, mistakes, disengagement and delays plague them until we get it turned around.  Caught in the usual problem focus, they do not even realize the costs they have been paying until they see the results of positive changes, e. g. increased revenue 35-40% in a few months due to fuller awareness and use of strengths combined with quality management.

To avoid paying this tax and create more profits:  Install a consistent positive leadership culture in all aspects of leadership in your company,
to save time and money and increase profits.

Tax #2. Ignoring issues, not dealing with them, not paying attention.  Result:  A $1000 problem becomes a $1,000,000 problem, they get bad press, lose their best talent, have higher costs, and lose revenue as employees do not raise issues early when they see leaders ignoring them.  One CEO even lost his business by doing this...talk about risky "taxing" behavior!!

To avoid paying this tax and create more profits:  Face up to issues, encourage your employees to raise them by creating a culture where this is rewarded not punished, and most of all, model the behavior!! The tougher the issue, the sooner you face it!

Tax #3. Not keeping up, staying stuck in old leadership power models.  Many executives do not realize that the employee landscape has changed dramatically...the old authoritarian models of leadership just don't fly with Gen X and Y.  Employees expect aware positive collaborative leaders who understand and are skilled at the use of positive collaborative shared power and the exponential and profitable benefits it brings when used well.

Yet I still hear many complaints about negative bosses.  Yes, the new models of power do require learning, but they are all learnable skills...I always tailor my consulting to the clients' individual styles so that learning is faster and easier for them and applied immediately to their tasks and projects, for learning positive systems for planning, delegation, startups, endings, teams/meetings, change, M&A and more....

To avoid paying these taxes and create more profits:  Stay updated on new positive collaborative leadership power systems.  See this as a systems issue, not leaving it to the personality of each leader in your firm, a common taxing error, but creating a systems-based positive leadership culture and behaviors for every leader so you have consistency and thus credibility with employees, customers, alliance partners, etc.

Many studies are now showing the power of the positive approach for your bottom line.  One example:  The % of positive statements in planning meetings at 60 companies correlated 100% with their profitability...the more positive statements, the higher the profitability!!  (Univ. of Michigan, 2006)

"When you forget the positive, you have lost control."  Dr. Linne's Power Quote

Enjoy your tax freedom and success!
I appreciate all the good work you are doing!!

Peace and prosperity,
Dr Linne

Leaders! Do not even think of setting 2014 goals until you do this!

Hi Everyone,

Why do so many goals go unfulfilled?  We mean well, but somehow they get lost in our multi-tasked to-do lists.

What does it take to persevere enough to actually acheive our goals?

You may already have your goals written, so if you have, back up and do this now to put a foundation under your goals.

If you have not done your goals yet, by all means, do this first, then write your goals.

Here is the secret I use with planning and goal-setting with clients:  Always go over your previous year's foundation of your achievements and celebrate those to give you enough positive momentum.  Without doing this you are just putting more pressure on yourself without also adding greater support and appreciation...this just does not work! Everyone needs to be appreciated and have their successes celebrated!
"The deepest craving in human nature is to be appreciated."
William James, Harvard Psychologist

This appreciation and celebration and actually facing up to your achievements the previous year gives you the fuel you need in your mental/emotional gas tank to push your goals to fruition!  This in turn gives you more success and opportunities for growth!

So, make your list of achievements, celebrate and THEN set or revisit your goals!!
Wishing you the best of success!

World Economic Uncertainty and Leadership Delegation

HI,

After my last post, I was thinking of the stress on leaders with all the uncertainty
and how stressimpacts cognitive functioning and communication. 
As a longtime expert in leadership communication,
I have seen nearly all clients struggle with delegation. 
Now of course it is even more difficult.

One of the most crucial aspects of leadership communication is delegation.

How is delegation working in your company, large or small?

Are you getting the results you want from delegation?

Do you have Delegation Disasters or Delegation Delight?

Do you understand how your use of power affects your Delegation results?

Do you see how great Delegation is crucial for change and transformation?

 Most leaders have no delegation training sufficient to handle the rapid change, uncertainty, global shocks and upsets rocketing through their companies.

Leaders need help with this.

My training manual for the very positive fast and efficient Engine and Four Wheels delegation system I have used for client executives is on the road to being available...will post here when it is ready...has

gotten many clients out of the ditch and back on the road to faster easier better results.

Starting as an Economist and then becoming a Behavioral Scientist/Leadership and Change Expert gives me the ability to layer in immediate bottom-line results from my leadership systems, as I can see the links between behavior and results...very rewarding to offer this to clients and see them go from frowns to smiles.

Make it a great day!

Dr. Linne

Fall is harvest time, reaping the abundance of spring and summer work. How can we increase our harvest during the recession?

"To sit back and let fate play its hand out and never influence it is not the way man was meant to operate." John Glenn, astronaut

1. Want more revenue?

2. In a cash flow crunch?

3. Want to reduce your costs but are not sure how?

4. Have a sense more is available but not sure how to get to it?

When you are really busy, you are in a hurry. When business is slow, you have more time, but anxiety, according to research, gets in the way of thinking clearly. These 5 tips can jog your mind, increase revenue and reduce costs. When you are really busy, you don’t have time for these, but when business drops off, these are essential!

1. Follow up on those leads you let slip by you when you were busy or anxious. In your networking you find more than you can follow up on when you are busy, but in downtime periods, find every business card and email address and follow up with marketing. You might be surprised. The good you are seeking is seeking you.

2. Expand your vision, focus on what you want, not on what you don’t have. Find new networks and groups to market your business. Example: As a Fortune 10, 50, 100 consultant, small business owners were not my market. But they need what I have. So until those big companies start hiring consultants again, small business values my work. And they decide and move faster!

3. Update your website with more compelling copy and expand your email list.

4. Inventory your office supplies and equipment, so you know what you have and won’t buy what you don’t need. Sell any equipment or supplies you no longer need. Downsize office space if that is needed for you.

5. Save money, go green! Re-use all paper & envelopes for notes or internal office copies. I haven’t bought scrap paper for decades. Refill ink cartridges. Open the window instead of using the AC. Buy used/recycled products and supplies. They save money and have fewer toxic emissions (VOCs) than new products.

Concerned about the future of your company?

Remember, as a business intuitive, I can see the future of your company and help you align with it for maximum success. Most leaders are hungry to see their future, which is usually bigger than they have conceived. How about you? How big a vision are you willing to hold?

I Can See the Future of Your Company--Leadership Futures

HI Everyone,

Theme: Enough with the recession! I have had it! Time to grow your business & revenue.

I can see the future of your company. How? Keep reading.

1. Are you buying into the recession?

2. Are you assuming you can’t grow your business yet?

3. Is your revenue suffering as a result of your negative assumptions?

4. Are you being hard on yourself because your business or career is not growing?

5. Are you trying to tough it out alone without the support you need?

6. Do you want powerful tips to grow your business during these tough times?

Mark Victor Hansen recently said the only thing you should be saying about your business is:

“My business is booming.” I tried it adding it to my usual positive spiritual work, even though I am in an industry which is usually cut first and hired back last. It works. Results: Clients and connections for business are showing up, and they are good quality also. What You Say Is What You Get®. Hey, this positive spiritual leadership work I do really pays off! I have also been asked to speak on the same stage with Mark, on an abundance cruise out of Southern Calif. in January 2010. I feel like a little kid in a healthy candy store!

Leadership and Consulting/Coaching Tips

Don’t settle for what you see around you. Settling is not required. Despite the media, and despite your losses, there is always a niche market somewhere that needs your services/products. Always. These are my passionate questions I think about every day. Use them, ponder them, meditate on them, ask yourself these before you go to sleep:

1. What strengths are you under-emphasizing that you could apply more to your work?

2. What are the niche markets you haven’t thought of yet that need what you have and will pay you for it?

3. How can you find them and contact them?

4. Who do you know who can open a door for you in that niche?

5. What do you have that adds massive value to their lives?

6. How can you increase the value you add to your customers’ lives?

“To earn more, express your best more.”

Dr. Linne’s Power Quotes

By Universal Law, if you send out a clean positive request, unmuddied by the negative, the resources you need will show up for you. Focus on your greatness and Be alert. One opportunity recently came to me because I noticed a license plate from my parents’ home state!!

Example: As a Fortune 10, 50, 100 consultant, small business owners were not my market. But they need what I have. So until those big companies start hiring consultants again, small business are a great niche for me.

How did I make the shift? My intuition in August of ’08 told me to drop all my categories and expect the unexpected. I heeded my intuition, being a 4^th generation intuitive and a 25+ yr. expert in executive intuition. Small companies showed up!! Not in my typical industries either. They want my intuitive and spiritual as well as my positive leadership expertise. And I recently manifested

revenue for a client by visualization/prayer! She was thrilled.

I can see the future of a company and help that company align with it for maximum success. They are hungry to see their future, which is usually bigger than they have conceived.

How about you? How willing are you to think bigger about possible revenue sources? You can do this if you are willing to work at it!!
