How I define Leadership in terms of specific skills
What is leadership?
I define leadership in practical terms – my definition of leadership doesn’t get here from theory, but rather, from practical, hands-on, day-to-day leadership challenges leaders face today.
My focus is on the vital leadership characteristics that are indispensable for any leader to possess, in order to genuinely build a high performance organization, and as a consequence of this, a truly sustainable competitive advantage.
My definition of leadership is in terms of specific skills – in terms of observable, measurable, and learnable behaviors.
My leadership definition has nothing to do with charisma, charm, or magnetism.
The great majority of world-class high performing organizations are led by so-called not charismatic leaders; charisma helps leaders indeed, there is no question about that – and it also helps any person for that matter – but charisma is not a key factor in driving organizational high performance.
On the contrary, leadership is so objective that it smacks you in the face with its concreteness – the performance of an organization is the result of its leaders' behavior.
Leadership is about observable, actual, and unmistakable behaviors – it is about knowing exactly what organizational levers to use; it is about identifying a reasonable number of priorities that will have the greatest possible impact on the success of your organization.
You control a bull by grabbing it by its horns, to make it jump – and even soar – according to your dexterity.
I define leadership as having the specific skills that allow you to grab your organization by its horns in order to make it soar – to reach organizational peak performance.
Leadership skills are learnable – like any other skill.
Here on this page, you will find the most effective skills – explicit, practical, and powerful – that will give you the greatest possible impact on your company’s performance.
You will see many “old” terms on this page – there is nothing new about these good old leadership skills.
However, most of the top-level executives don’t use these leadership tools appropriately. The term “mission” for example, despite the fact that most companies have a mission statement (they probably even went to an expensive off-site meeting to craft it), their mission is nothing more than a useless paragraph written on their company’s main entrance, on their website’s corporate information page, and on their business brochures.
The information I give you on these pages tell you exactly what it is you need to do in order to make these tools have a direct impact on organizational performance.
These leadership skills are subdivided into three sections:
Head – the head of your organization
Heart – the heart of your organization
Muscle – the muscle of your organization
The overall picture of our leadership model looks like this:

Special Characters for HTML & XHTML
All of these characters should display in Internet Explorer 7 and 8, Firefox and Opera if you use the correct HTML Character Codes and font families. Many of them should display in older versions of Internet Explorer if these fonts are used: "Arial unicode MS", Arial, Geneva, sans-serif.Information about any problems found or any further information would be appreciated. Feedback here.
Many symbols won't display in HTML WYSIWYG editors: Dreamweaver, Expression Web, FrontPage, but if used, they will display in browsers.
Internet Explorer 6 and older versions are patchy in their support for these characters. Until recently, Microsoft have not been diligent in keeping up with the progress of web standards. The fifths and sixths fractions and many of the Miscellaneous symbols will only display as a default square.
They should all display correctly in IE 7 and IE 8 although in those browsers some of the fractions and Miscellaneous symbols may be hard to read in smaller sizes.
These Symbols should all display if you use charsets ISO 8859-1 or UTF-8.

ये कौन सा देश है
ये सोने की चिड़िया भारत था,
अब देश बना कंगालों का है।
चन्द्रगुप्त का अद्भुत भारत,
अब देश बना गद्दारों का है॥
नेतृत्व नैतिकता भूल चुका है,
जनता मूर्ख बनी बस सोती है।
अपने अधिकारों को आश्वासन के,
चरणामृत में घोलकर पीते हैं॥
उन पर लिखने की कोशिश क्यों हो?
क्यों हो उन पर लेखनी व्यस्त?
जो सोते महलों में लूटें भारत,
मानवता त्याग बने हैं धनपरस्त॥
ये कलम चलेगी अब जी भर कर,
दीनों हीनों के घावों से रिसकर।
अब बरसेगी उनकी भावना प्रखर,
माँ सरस्वती के रूपों में सजकर॥
मेरी दुआ है रब से, कि पूरी हो आरजू तेरी,
मेरी दुआ है रब से, कि पूरी हो आरजू तेरी,
मेरी अल्तजा है उस खुदा से, मोहब्बत मेरी,
मुझे तू मिले, ना मिले, अब ये किस्मत मेरी,
फिर भी तुझको मिले अब तो चाहत तेरी॥
इन दिनों हमें शौक है, याद करना तुम्हें,
और तुम्हारी आदत है, भूल जाना हमें,
तुझे हिचकी का आना है हरकत मेरी
फिर भी तुझको मिले अब तो चाहत तेरी॥
ये आज कल अश्क बहाना है हरकत मेरी,
फिर भी तुझको मिले अब तो चाहत तेरी॥
ये जिन्दगी भी कितनी मासूम होती है, हमारे स्वप्नों से कितनी अनजान होती है,
ये जिन्दगी भी कितनी मासूम होती है,
हमारे स्वप्नों से कितनी अनजान होती है,
जब उत्पन्न होती है तो खुशहाल करती है,
अरु मौत पर हँस मनु का उपहास करती है॥
मानव से हँसने की भी कीमत वसूलती है,
कभी कभी तो वेपनाह रूला ही देती है,
छोटी छोटी बातों मे खुशी देती है,
पल भर में आँसू भी पोंछ लेती है ॥
कभी किसी चेहरे को मिटने नही देती,
हमारी यादों से यूँ ही हटने नहीं देती,
कुछ लोग भूल जाते हैं माँ बाप को भी,
कभी अनजान को आँखो से हिलने नही देती ॥
कभी इन्सान को थोडा सहारा देती है,
कभी लँगडे की बैशाखियाँ भी छीन लेती है,
कभी इन्सान को जीने के बहाने देती है,
कभी मौत की भी इक वजह छोड देती है॥
इन्सान को बना कठपुतली ऐसे नचाती है,
कभी जिन्दगी से जिन्दगी यूँ ही बनाती है,
कभी काल का बस रूप धर ऐसे घुमाती है,
कि जिन्दगी से जिन्दगी को बस मौत आती है॥
सबको फ़ँसाकर जिन्दगी आह्लाद करती है,
इठलाकर निर्माण और संहार करती है,
कभी नवजीवन की खुशी मे लीन होती है,
फ़िर भी मनुष्य से बस अनजान रहती है॥
ये जिन्दगी भी कितनी मासूम होती है ।
जिस दिल में बसा था प्यार तेरा, उस दिल को कभी का तोड़ दिया
जिस दिल में बसा था प्यार तेरा, उस दिल को कभी का तोड़ दिया
बदनाम न होने देंगे तुझे , तेरा नाम ही लेना छोड़ दिया
जब याद कभी तुम आओगे , समझेंगे तुम्हे चाहा ही नहीं
राहों में अगर मिल जाओगे सोचेंगे तुम्हे देखा ही नहीं.
जो दर पे तुम्हारे जाती थी, उन राहों को हमने मोड़ दिया
जिस दिल में बसा था प्यार तेरा, उस दिल को कभी का तोड़ दिया
हम कौन किसी के होतें हैं , कोई हमको याद करेगा क्यूँ .
अपने दो आंसू भी हम पर , कोई बर्बाद करेगा क्यूँ .
उस मांझी को भी गिला हमसे, मझधार में जिसने छोड़ दिया.
जिस दिल में बसा था प्यार तेरा, उस दिल को कभी का तोड़ दिया
बदनाम न होने देंगे तुझे , तेरा नाम ही लेना छोड़ दिया
उसे भूल जाने के सिवा कोई रास्ता भी नही ....
उसे भूल जाने के सिवा कोई रास्ता भी नही ....
पर कैसे भूल जाऊ वो कोई हादसा तो नही........
हसीन उसके जैसे हजारो होंगे जमाने में ....
मगर मेरी निगाहों में उसके सिवा कोई भी नही .......
मै तो सजाये रहता हूँ खामोश होठो पर भी नाम उसका ..
पर उसके होठो पर मेरा नाम भूल से आता भी नही ...
वो है की मेरे ख्यालो की दहलीज़ पर से वो कभी जाता ही नही ....
एक वो ही है की कभी प्यार से मुझे एक बार देखता भी नही ......
जला लिए हाथ ये सोचकर की वो मेरी लकीरों में नही ....
मगर कैसे हासिल करूं उसे -उसकी लकीरों में तो मेरा जिक्र भी नही ...
मै कहने भर के लिए सूरज (रवि ) रह गया हूँ दोस्तों ...
यूँ तो मेरे पास बुझे चिराग जितनी रोशनी भी नही .......
पर कैसे भूल जाऊ वो कोई हादसा तो नही........
हसीन उसके जैसे हजारो होंगे जमाने में ....
मगर मेरी निगाहों में उसके सिवा कोई भी नही .......
मै तो सजाये रहता हूँ खामोश होठो पर भी नाम उसका ..
पर उसके होठो पर मेरा नाम भूल से आता भी नही ...
वो है की मेरे ख्यालो की दहलीज़ पर से वो कभी जाता ही नही ....
एक वो ही है की कभी प्यार से मुझे एक बार देखता भी नही ......
जला लिए हाथ ये सोचकर की वो मेरी लकीरों में नही ....
मगर कैसे हासिल करूं उसे -उसकी लकीरों में तो मेरा जिक्र भी नही ...
मै कहने भर के लिए सूरज (रवि ) रह गया हूँ दोस्तों ...

शादी के तीन साल बाद लड़की ने माना ‘भाव खाने’ के चक्कर में गंवाए अच्छे लड़के
दिल्ली. एक ज़माना था जब उसकी गिनती कॉलेज की सबसे हसीन लड़कियों में होती थी। उसकी एक-एक अदा के एक-एक हज़ार दीवाने थे। कोई उसकी स्माइल पर फिदा था तो कोई स्टाइल पर। कोई उसकी आंखों पर जान देता था तो कोई बालों पर। किसी ने उस पर रौब जमाने के लिए बाप से बाइक दिलाने के लिए झगड़ा किया तो किसी ने औकात से बाहर जाकर नए कपड़े सिलवाए। इस उम्मीद में कि शायद अच्छे कपड़ों से उनकी गंदी शक्ल की भरपाई हो जाए।
उदास मुद्रा में रूपवती
मगर वो रूपवती तो अपनी ही धुन में सवार थी। हर दिन चार-पांच लड़के उसे प्रपोज़ करते और वो उन्हें मिमोह चक्रवर्ती की फिल्म समझ नकार देती। डेढ़-दो सौ लड़कों के प्रेम की इस परीक्षा में फेल होने के बाद पूरे कॉलेज में बात फैल गई कि यहां टाइम वेस्ट करने का फायदा नहीं। औसत दिखने वाले लड़कों ने तो पहले ही कभी खुद को कॉम्पिटिशन में नहीं माना था, अब तो तथाकथित हैंडसम भी मैदान छोड़ने लगे थे।
इसी तरह के नाज़ों-नख़रों में उसने अपने कॉलेज के तीन साल गुज़ार दिए। पढ़ाई में उसका उतना ही इंटरेस्ट था जितना सरकारी बैंकों में जमा पैसे पर मिलता है, यानी बहुत कम! अलबत्ता ग्रेजुएट होते ही उसने पढ़ाई छोड़ दी। इधर पढ़ाई छूटी और उधर घरवालों ने एक बड़े बिज़नेसमैन से उसकी शादी कर दी। लड़के का जितना बडा बिज़नेस था उससे कही ज़्यादा बड़ी उसकी तोंद थी।
जानकारों के मुताबिक ऐसी हर चीज़ जिसमें ज़िंदगी बसती है, उसमें उस लड़के की कोई दिलचस्पी नहीं थी। न उसे घूमने का शौक था, न फिल्मों का। न उसे म्यूज़िक पसंद था, न किताबें और अगर उसे कोई किताब पसंद थी तो वो था बहीखाता, जिसमें वो अपने धंधे का हिसाब लिखता था।
वक्त के साथ-साथ पति की तोंद बढ़ती गई और उसी अनुपात में हमारी रूपवती की अपने पति में दिलचस्पी घटती गई। इसी कोफ्त में एक दिन उसने अपना फेसबुक अकाउंट बनाया।
हद दर्जे की ढपोल होने के बावजूद वो कुछ ही दिन में फेसबुक से वाकिफ हो गई। और फिर एक दिन आया वो लम्हा…सास कीर्तन पर गई थी, पति तोंद के साथ दुकान पर, कामवाली काम कर और फर्श पर पड़े चिल्लर उठा जा चुकी थी और दूधवाले के आने में अभी टाइम था….वो फेसबुक के सर्च ऑप्शन में गई और उसने टाइप किया…Rohit Sharma…जी हां, ये वही लड़का था जिसे मना करने का उसे बाद में अफसोस हुआ था।
आज वो एक अच्छी कम्पनी में काम कर रहा था, छह महीने पहले शादी कर विदेश में हनीमून मनाकर आया था। हनीमून की तस्वीरों में वो अपनी बीवी के साथ बहुत खुश नज़र आ रहा था। हर तस्वीर के नीचे उसने मज़ेदार कैप्शन लिख रखे थे। कुछ में शायरी भी कर रखी थी। वो उसकी क्रिएटिविटी से काफी इम्प्रेस हुई। खुश और मुस्कुराती तस्वीरें देखकर वो भी मुस्कुराने लगी। मगर इसी मुस्कुराहट के बीच अचानक वो नरगिस फाकरी जैसे अजीबो-गरीब एक्सप्रेशन देने लगी। न उससे हंसते बन रहा था, न रोते…न जाने क्यूं…किस वजह से…उसे रोहित की एवरेज-सी दिखने वाली बीवी से जैलिसी होने लगी। वो सोचने लगी कि ये लड़की तो मेरे आगे कहीं नहीं ठहरती। अगर मैंने रोहित को ‘हां’ कह दिया होता तो ये इससे कभी शादी नहीं करता…
फ्रस्ट्रेटिड आदमी का खाली दिमाग कुछ ज़्यादा ही कल्पनाएं करने लगता है…वो भी करने लगी …अगर इन फोटोग्राफ्स में इस लड़की की जगह मैं होती तो कितने फक्र से इसे अपने प्रोफाइल पर शेयर करती, ढेर सारे लाइक आते, अच्छे-अच्छे कॉमेंट मिलते…हम नई-नई जगहों पर जाते…ढेर सारी फोटो खिंचवाते…वो कल्पनाएं करती जा रही थी और खुश थी…तभी घंटी बजी…उसने दरवाज़ा खोला…सामने दूध वाला था…दूध लिया….वापिस आई…लैपटॉप गोद में रख दार्शनिक की तरह कुछ देर पंखे की ओर ताका… और फिर फेसबुक पर अपना पहला स्टेटस लिखा….काश! मैं इतने भाव न खाती।
The important things in life
A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the table in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, about 2 inches in diameter.
He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks.
He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He then asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous “Yes.”
“Now,” said the professor, “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the important things – your family, your partner, your health, your children – things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter – like your job, your house, your car.
The sand is everything else. The small stuff.”
“If you put the sand into the jar first,” he continued “there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life.
If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take your partner out dancing. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party and fix the disposal.
Take care of the rocks first – the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.”
He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

Woh ruthate rahe hum manate rahe
Woh ruthate rahe hum manate rahe,
Unki raahon me palkein bichate rahe
Unhone kabhi palat ke bhi na dekha
Hum ankh jhapkane se bhi katrate rahe.
Kisiko apna banane me der lagti hai,
ek vada nibhane me der lagti hai,
pyar to pal bhar me ho jata hai,
magar unhe bhulane me umar lagti hai..
Barso ke baad hoti hai mulakat
fir bhi rahti hai Dil me Dil ki baat
Nazro se karna padta hai pyar
Par Nazar milane ke liye bhi
karna padta hai Intezar
Yakin har rishte ki buniyaad hota hain ,
tut jaaye agar to judna mushkil hota hain ,
kehna aasan hain humain yakin nahi hain tumpe,
lekin dard is cheez ka be-panah hota hain.

50 Ways to Say I Love You
50 ways to say I love you
Here are 50 different ways to show your partner how much you care.
By Jamie Jefferson
A giggly game of Trivial Pursuit and a tall margarita… After nine years of marriage, that is how my husband and I last expressed our love for one another.
It is important to say I love you with both passion and frequency. And we can say it not only with our words but with our actions, with our facial expressions and body language, even with our thoughts. Lasting intimacy comes from an everyday appreciation and a reverence for the daily moments we spend in the company of one another.
Here are 50 simple ways you can demonstrate the depth of your love.
(I have used the words he and she interchangeably here. The following ideas are not gender specific.)
1. Write down fifty favorite memories of your life spent together so far. Invite your partner to add to the list and share special ideas for the future.
2. Leave a message on her voicemail with a silly, romantic poem. (Roses are red, violets are blue . . .)
3. Make a CD featuring the songs that have been important in your relationship. Slip it into the CD player of her car.
4. Bring homemade cookies or brownies to his office with a simple love note.
5. Spoon.
6. Surprise her with some bath salts and her favorite magazine. Then take the kids out of the house for the evening so she can enjoy some time alone.
7. Stash a love note in his shoe.
8. Spend some time talking about all the goals you have been able to accomplish during your time as a couple. Reflecting on the things that you have been able to do with the strength of the other, including the challenges, can really help you to remember and to celebrate the depth of your relationship and how you have supported one another through it all.
9. Serve her breakfast in bed.
10. Give him some time one Saturday to do something he enjoys but rarely takes the time for.a

Can Astrology Predict Your Sex Life?
Okay I admit it. Along with being a closeted Madonna girl (so shoot me for liking “bad” 1980s music), I’m an avid horoscope reader. While looking at my yearly forecast, it seems the next sixteen years will fill my Virgo life with romance. Sweet! However, I then jealously found out the next sixteen years promise Gemini’s hot and steamy sex. It got me thinking. Can the stars really predict what’s going on in your bedroom? Not only that, could a couple use this knowledge to help a flagging sex life?
So I decided to go to the source and ask an Astrologer. Tim Stephens, who writes my very favorite horoscope website astroreflections.com, was kind enough to answer my tough questions.
First things first: I asked Tim if he could chart my sexual drive. After giving me a rather complicated answer full of moons, planets and angles, he answered, “By all means, yes.” Not only that, he said he could divide my sex drive by different states, romance, lust or marriage. And even grade my “lust” states by them being either casual or deep.
Wow. Go figure. This is definitely one of those, why didn’t I know this twenty years ago things. Instead of forcing the “sex once a week equals success” equation, charting sex drive can mean respecting a couple’s natural sexual rhythm. You see, the key to long term sexual success is to appreciate there will be times of lots of sex, times with no sex, and times of having sex once a week. Being able to foresee when these situations will happen could potentially eliminate a ton of couple grief.
Therefore charting sex drive could be a better solution, or at least a more holistic answer, for those couples waiting with bated breath for a female Viagra.
Before getting all excited to promote a seemingly wishy-washy topic, I needed to placate the astrology cynics. Here’s the rest of my Q & A with Tim.
Can Astrology Predict Your Sex Life?
Trina: What’s your response to a horoscope/ astrology skeptic to prove it’s viable?
Tim: You can’t convince a skeptic by any kind of logic. However, many studies have supported the general concept of influence from the skies. Michael Gaquelin, a French statistician, proved overwhelmingly that certain professionals – e.g., scientists, dancers, politicians, etc, tend to share the same planet in the same angle of the birth chart. A statistical tendency that was far beyond chance.
Trina: It seems absurd that every single Virgo is going to have a lust fueled day just because the planets say so.
Tim: One in twelve people are Virgo. Every Virgo, if the aspects are just right-Mars and Moon eighth, Neptune fifth, Venus fifth, etc.-will feel SOME sensual emotion. But all Virgos will react in different ways. Those hard at work might not lift their heads long enough to notice. Some will repress it. Some will sublimate. Perhaps only 1 in 10, or 1 in 50 Virgos will actually find or grab a partner and act out those sensual feelings.
Also, the sexual/lust urge in astrology is identical to the financial/investment, death, murder, crime, research and other “urges.” So many Virgos will probe these areas during that time, rather than lust.
Trina: How much of horoscopes is planting a seed in someone’s mind, creating the anticipation, thus creating their life results?
Tim: This process is self-suggestion, and it is a major tendency in astrological clients, which the astrologer must be aware of and handle wisely. However, if the client is fed “good news” or happy outcomes, then self-suggestion, even if present, does no harm. In fact it performs a benefit. That’s why many astrologers lean backwards to be cheerful, optimistic in readings and horoscope columns.
Trina: My personal pet peeve: One horoscope tells me I’m going to be jacked up and good to go and another one tells me that my sex appeal will be flat. If this is based in astrology, why then is there such inconsistency between astrologer’s predictions?
Tim: Actually, this happens less than you would think. If you read three daily horoscopes for Pisces, each should refer basically to the same thing. If the Moon is in Capricorn that day, all three writers should be mentioning something “social” for Pisces. There are from 2 to 10 aspects every day – some astrologers will look at one, some at another.
So there you have it. If you’re still an astrology skeptic, then this means of tapping into your unique sexual rhythm will not be for you. However, how can you come to terms with your ebb and flow sex drive? Personally I’m going with the feel-good romance for the next sixteen years predictions. Like Tim said, good thoughts can only lead to fantastic sex results.
