Education Corner: Here is tip #6 on “How to strengthen any organization.” (The Christophers).
Tip # 6: Develop your ability to communicate: More than one organization has been saved from an embarrassing decision or omission by the voice of a lone individual who stood up and made his voice heard. Know what you are talking about in the first place. Then if you want to share your good ideas, you will work hard to develop the skills of speaking to a group…presenting proposals clearly…making concise summaries…giving concrete examples…and mastering the basic principles of parliamentary procedure. Unlock your own powers of leadership, and everyone will profit.
THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK:
- Aim for the top. There is plenty of room here. There are so few at the top, it is almost lonely.
- The best time to keep your shirt on is when you’re hot under the collar.
- Even a woodpecker owes his success to the fact that he used his head.
