Why Leaders Utilize EVENTS

Nearly every viable organization, depends upon certain special meetings, functions and event, either to attract new potential members to their cause, retain existing ones, for educational/ training purposes, to conduct business, in order to bestow some sort of honor or special mentions, and/ or for social reasons, etc. Each component often has a major contributing factor, to the viability, relevance and sustainability of the group. Some groups hold annual or periodical conventions and/ or conferences, while others prioritize fundraising, as the major purpose for holding these galas, etc. Regardless of the reasons, needs and priorities, the vast majority of leaders, especially effective ones, seek to take the best advantage of these, and focus on why, and how, to properly and effectively take advantage of, and utilize EVENTS.

1. Energize; encourage; effects: True leaders realize one of their most challenging, yet essential duties, is performing in a manner, which energizes their stakeholders, to get more involved, and care more deeply. One uses an event to provide an additional reason/ factor, to encourage more participation and loyalty. One aims to bring about positive responses, and thus, more ardent, involved and loyal supporters and constituents. This is the desired effect!

2. Visions; views; value; values: True leaders must possess a vibrant, vital vision, and wise ones will utilize events to best articulate and/ or demonstrate others to buy - into it! These functions provide a direct, face - to - face opportunity to express and discuss views, which in today's digital society, often is forgotten! To attract and have a desirable impact, an event must provide both actual, as well as perceived value! One of the important goals should be to attract others, to participate and share common values!

3. Empathy: Politicians often use rhetoric and empty promises, to attempt to demonstrate to voters, how much they care. However, in order to garner long - term support, one must clearly demonstrate actual empathy, based on effective listening and learning!

4. Needs; niche: Groups should tweak their mission statements, from time to time, to assure it is still relevant, etc. However, a leader must recognize, his organization must avoid trying to be all things, to all people! Understand and recognize your special niche, and clearly prove why the organization remains relevant and necessary. Focus on addressing needs, concerns and priorities, while maintaining an open mind, and quality communications!

5. Trends; take - aways: Times change, and so must how groups operate and relate! Recognize and communicate how you've adapted and taken advantage of trends, etc! Ask yourself, what are the take - aways, you seek attendees to leave your event, focusing on?

6. Stronger; system: Events only succeed when they make the group stronger, and more viable! Conceive, develop, implement, articulate and communicate, how your system makes your organization, more relevant and necessary!

Smart leaders use their EVENTS to make their organizations, and constituents, stronger, better and more involved! When one is able to get attendees to leave with positive thoughts, you've achieve much of your objective!

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
