Digg it UP - The Quakers, A Sword, And The Leadership Talk
Candy appeals to all age groups, but most especially to children. This is because the countless varieties of candy that are available in the market cater to almost all tastes and preferences. Given this popularity and mass appeal, selling candy has become a popular choice for a fundraising activity, as those who sell them are assured that people would buy their candy. In organizing these fund raisers, one of the most important things to consider is the source of the candy that would be sold because finding a reliable source of candy can lead to the success of the activity.Where to get candyThere are a number of sources that you can tap if you wish to buy a larg
As to the principle: it goes right to the heart of Fox's reply to Penn. Fox ardently believed that every human has an "inner light and spirit." The Quakers were guided by that light which they believed came directly from God. They refused to bow to authority
I have a friend who is caught up in some serious 'paralysis of analysis' where her business life is concerned. I advised her to simply follow God's peace and just get moving! She looked at me like I had suggested that she jump off a cliff. I could tell that she was literally frozen by her own fear of missing God.Missing God is just not something that I've ever worried about. What do people mean when they say 'I'm afraid of missing God?" anyways? It is as though they believe that God has set up a maze for them to figure out and if they go the wrong way - they've blown it and will be stuck in some dead end.I don't believe for a minute that God is like that.
In his youth, Penn became an ardent Quaker. When he asked George Fox (1624-1691), the founder of the non-violent religious sect, if he should continue to wear a sword, a standard part of the dress of Penn's aristocratic class, Fox replied, "Wear it as long as thou canst."
Fox's reply not only illustrates a principle of Quakerism but also a principle underpinning a leadership process I have been teaching to thousands of leaders worldwide during the past 21 years: the Leadership Talk.
Get the Leadership Talk right, and it can boost your job performance and career in many ways. But you can't get the Leadership Talk right unless you understand this principle.
What is a Leadership Talk? You can understand it by first understanding "the hierarchy of verbal persuasion." The lowest levels of the hierarchy are speeches and presentations. They are methods for communicating information. The highest level, the most effective way for a leader to communicate, is through the Leadership Talk. The Leadership Talk not only communicates information; it does something much more: it helps the leader establish deep, human, emotional connections with the people they're talking to, enabling them to be much more effective.

A storeowner told me a story recently that I think probably every storeowner has dealt with at one time or another. He has a very liberal return policy. If something is wrong with an item, he will make it right, period. He is that kind of guy. His philosophy is if you keep the customer happy, he will return and purchase more from you in the long run. He realizes that the value of a customer is not a one-time sale. But having that customer return many times during his lifetime and them tell other people of the good experiences he has had in dealing with that store owner is what makes a business successful.However in one particular instance, he made a mistake with

Sheet Lead is one of the most malleable of common metals. It can be easily shaped, formed, bent and/or easily cut to suit all applications. Sheet lead is extremely resistant to corrosion from the atmosphere, salt water, and most industrial chemicals.It is ideal for making corrosion resistant gaskets, lead lining tanks, reducing sound in rooms and replacing metal flashing in roofs. With its high density and flexibility it becomes superior in shielding rooms from radiation against x-rays and gamma radiation.For radiation shielding you should be looking for Sheet Lead with a consistent and high density manufactured from pure lead conforming to ASTM B-29, B-749 and
As to the principle: it goes right to the heart of Fox's reply to Penn. Fox ardently believed that every human has an "inner light and spirit." The Quakers were guided by that light which they believed came directly from God. They refused to bow to authority and endorsed pacifism. Implicit in Fox's reply was that it was Penn's choice, not any mandate from Fox or anyone else, that governed the situation.
The Leadership Talk recognizes that leaders do nothing more important than get results; and the best results happen not when leaders are ordering people to go from point A to point B, say, but when they are having them want to go from A to B. Instill "want to" in others is what the Leadership Talk does. That "want to" cannot be mandated; it is the free choice of the people. In other words, great results happen in the realm of free choice of the people you lead.
The Leadership Talk creates an environment conducive to people exercising free choice. In order to create this environment, you must first ask three questions about the people you'll speak to.
(1) Do you know the needs of the people? (2) Can you bring deep belief to what you're saying to them? (3) Can you have the people take action?
If you say "no" to any one of these questions, you can't give a Leadership Talk.
Asking and answering these questions many times daily throughout your career with people of all ranks and functions will help you create a fortunate environment of free choice leading to great results.
Let's see how these questions played out with Fox and Penn.
