The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Some followers are intimidated by Leader's self-confidence. Here are some Spirited suggestions, to make sure you do not come across that way: 

• Be authentic…it is OK to be on the reserved side of centre if that is your character…it is OK to be on the boisterous side if that is your character
• Be committed to working on self-improvement…i.e., raising his or her own self-confidence when that is required, as it will be from time to time
• Focus on strengths: personal strengths and the strengths possessed by others
• As Dale Carnegie taught, Praise heartily
• Make full and appropriate use of humour…some leaders have just a little of it and will need to remind themselves of the importance of putting it to good use…other leaders have heavy doses of it and they will need to remind themselves to never let it go too far…self-humour is best…humour at the expense of others is an absolute no-no
• Listen…resurrect that art if it has become lost
• Master your emotions…and keep them under control [most of the time]

Live with Integrity…as defined here
