Book summary of a 60 second leadership

In this chapter, the author talks about the importance of preparation. 

Sometimes, we forget about these things while moving towards our goal. It's all about a detailed step, a strategy to move towards our goal.

Proper preparation is key. For some, it comes easily and for some it takes time. As we all know luck is the place where opportunity and preparation meet.

Many people so-called gurus(motivational speaker)just try to boost the confidence and enthusiasm of people in their seminar. They try to sell them on that concept.

But, they forget to teach the key ingredient of success i.e. planning. It is a strategy game that keeps you track of your goal and makes it a reality.

To give us the basic idea the author asks us few a questions.

Are we ready for the next sales call?

Did we build a plan for a successful today and tomorrow? 

Key Lesson:- We must schedule our time to plan and build an accountability system to execute on that plan. 

Conclusion:- Plan your work, then work your plan. Planning comes first then its time to execute.

So are you all about motivation or you plan your game so that you can be ahead of the majority. Remember it's all a strategy game.

Book summary of a 60 second leadership 

People Math???🤔

We all are familiar with Math aka Mathematics. For most of us, it is the scariest subject till today. Don't be embarrassed if you are one of them.

Even I have to figure out these subjects in my school year and truth to be told I was pretty bad with it. But I managed to make it work by trying harder and probably you did the same.

There are few individuals who love it. Some of them may be your friend or other famous personality such as "Grant Cardone" and "Patrick Bet David".

Do the Math Or Millionaire Math- Grant Cardone 

Life is all about Math - Patrick Bet David 

If you don't know them, I highly recommend you follow them great stuff to learn about the sales, entrepreneurship and personal development. Now, let's get back to the author version of math.

According to the author in our life, we come across different kind of people. He categorizes them as 

1) Adders  2) Subtractors 
 3) Dividers  4) Multiplier 

1) + :- These are the people who add value. They enhance the relationship and helps in improving the team performance by working with others.

2) - :-  These are the people who only see negative. They always point out what's wrong in the situation. These are the people who take away from every relationship, though it's usually not intentional.

3) ÷ :-  These are the people similar to subtractor but, these people do it intentionally usually for their selfish needs.

4) × :-  These are the people who not only grow relationship but, they also grow others who in turn grow the team and relationships. They help in enhancing positive change and growth even when they are not around.

Key Lessons:- Here the author encourages us to become a multiplier in peoples life by nurturing and growing your relationship with them.

Conclusion:- Become a multiplier and help others grow and evolve with you. 

Avoid negative( subtractor, dividers). Beware of such personality.

So, now let me ask you.

Which personality describe you the best ?? 😉
