AtricleZine - Traits Successful People Possess: The CEO's Path to Excellence
Just recently in the news there was a story about an Internet company called Image Net who conducted job interviews on Mt. Fuji in Japan. Image Net sells mostly women’s clothing on the Internet and I think it’s safe to say Image Net thinks “outside the box.”Lets examine why and see if this “outside the box thinking” is conducive to hiring new job applicants.When they put out their ad for the job there were 50 applicants. 21 were invited to climb Mt. Fuji to be interviewed. 15 of those applicants showed up and only 11 made it to the top to interview. Out of those 11 three to four were offered jobs.The president of Image Net, Mr. Daiji Kanda, climbed the mountain with the applicants and at different levels of the climb would stop and tell the applicants about the company and their business.Mr. Kanda and his staff gave lots of encouragement to the applicants as they climbed.When they reached
How to Build Success Traits
Effective CEOs use these four action steps to build success traits in their management team:
• Create a positive work environment.
People respond to their environment. Build an environment where people want to be and want to do their best.
• Encourage people to stretch for professional development.
Most people want to progress and grow. Effective leaders make a point of learning what motivates their employees and then give personal and organizational encouragement.
• Strive for excellence.
Help people hold themselves accountable for their personal goals. Hold them accountable for organizational goals.
• Share power to create personal commitmen
If you don’t effectively handle the multiple demands of your every day life as an event or meeting planner, your customers will know! Your coworkers, industry peers, suppliers, and customers can, and will, hold you accountable for how you spend your time and do your work.How effective are you?

Three characteristics of successful people are:
• Goal direction
They know where they stand, where they want to go and have a plan to get there.
• Self motivation
As self starters, they wind their own clock.
• Positive mental attitude
Successful people look for ways to complete tasks. They focus on strengths and break self-imposed limitations created by low self esteem.
These traits are interrelated. Strengthen one and you strengthen them all. Success breeds more success through increasing momentum.
Goal Direction:
A much quoted study found that the three percent of the population who created a specific written plan became not only financially independent but out produced those with only general goals by 10 to 100 times.
Goal directed action leads to success, which arrives when you make that first step towards a goal, not when you reach your goal. Every action step you take towards your goal is a success that brings you closer to the end result you want.
You can learn the skill of goal direction. Effective CEOs provide goal training and instill goal direction through the planning process. They ensure expected results when they hold themselves and their organization accountable.
When employees meet their personal goals while helping the company meet its goals, they make great achievements possible. Effective CEOs build an environment where personal and organizational goals complement each other.
Self-Motivation
Motivation, the sum of two words, motive and action, is the reason a person takes an action. Motivation, movement towards a goal, is goal directed action.
In the business world, motivation often arises from fear or incentives, both of which are generated by another person and temporary in nature.
For instance, an employee might be scared by the threat of losing a bonus. Over time people build immunity to fear in that they work just hard enough to get the job done then stop taking action. They don’t grow and develop to their full potential.
Incentives are often part of an employee’s compensation plan. For example, a sales incentive plan can effectively increase sales in the short run. However, today’s incentive plan often becomes tomorrow’s expectation. As the reward becomes expected, the incentive must increase.
Self motivation, however, is internal, permanent and unique to each individual. We motivate ourselves. When we work and live through self-motivation, we take more control over our lives than we could ever imagine having, much like a thoroughbred horse that runs for the thrill of running. The joy and excitement of doing something we love brings great achievement and meaning to our lives.
Positive Mental Attitude
Which would you rather have as an employee or co-worker, a person with a positive attitude and average skills or a person with high skills and a negative attitude?
Effective leaders understand that attitude is everything. We heighten success when we look for ways to accomplish our goals rather than make excuses.
Winners and losers dress alike, eat in the same restaurants, shop in the same stores and work in the same offices. Attitude, behavior and the results they achieve make the difference.
Winners confidently expect that they can turn any situation to positive advantage. Using positive behaviors; they listen and learn. Their attitude and behavior lead to peak performance.
The difference between the average and very successful person is quite small. Successful people don’t work three times as hard. Effective CEOs know how to develop the slight edge in people that creates a major increase in performance. They instill an attitude of abundance and positive expectance in their people.

May I lick the contract?The Chemical Signature is a simple concept: make your ink unique by mixing a new color and adding secret components. Even salt and sugar will do it. Now, the custom ink could have been invented by Da Vinci, but without Internet it would have been very hard to associate a person with its Own Ink. It is possible now for everyone to have a custom ink, adding safety to signatures and rubberstamps. The ink is obtained by mixing standard colors in different proportions. As a first step in validation, the colors are shown in a website, under a code.The additional components that add safety to the OwnInk system are substances that are easy to detect, if you know what you are looking for. If you do not, you need a multimillion dollar lab and many hours of expert chemists or biochemists. To know some of the secret components, the validator needs to register in a website. More components mean more safety le

Human Resources personnel, professional recruiters and various other career experts all agree: one of the best ways to prepare yourself for a job interview is to anticipate questions, develop your answers, and practice, practice, practice.There are plenty of websites that offer lists of popular job interview questions, and knowing the types of questions to expect can be very useful. But knowing how to answer those questions can mean the difference between getting the job and getting the "reject letter."HOW TO ANSWER QUESTIONSFirst, know these important facts:1. There is no way to predict every question you will be asked during a job interview. In other words, expect unexpected questions--they'll come up no matter how much preparation you do.2. Treat any sample answers you find, such as in discussion forums, books or on Internet job sites, as GUIDES only. Do not use any sample answers word for

• Share power to create personal commitment to key initiatives.
An effective leader understands that sharing power is the most effective way to build personal motivation. When participants take intellectual and emotional ownership of the initiative, they become part of the solution and develop personal commitment to the outcome.
How to Build Self Esteem
Effective leaders understand that attitude is crucial and that self esteem, the sum of our conditioning from an early age, affects it in many ways. Leaders raise the self esteem of their employees by helping them:
• Avoid comparison to others.
When we compare ourselves to others we set ourselves up for disappointment. Someone always has better experience or is a more polished speaker. The only relevant measure of personal improvement is to compare our capabilities from yesterday to our capabilities today
• Resist putting yourself down.
Don’t let the person in the mirror become a block. Understand your starting point and set a goal to change. Once you start to actively work towards a goal, you create success not at the end point but during the game. Every day you work towards the culmination of your long range goals.
• Improve a discipline in some part of your life.
Working to fulfill your goals gives you an incentive to do more and do it better each day. When you consistently take the right actions, you feel better about yourself and regularly reach a higher plateau.
• Celebrate small victories.
Recognize that each step you complete towards your goals is a positive accomplishment that takes you closer to your final objective. You raise your effectiveness every day.
Summary
The difference between being average and successful is small. A successful person doesn’t work harder, he or she works with a distinct goal in mind. For this reason effective CEOs strive to strengthen success traits in themselves and their employees.
Personal and organizational successes go together. When employees meet their personal goals as they help the organization meet its goals, they make great achievements possible. Effective CEOs build an environment where personal and organizational goals complement each other.
They build a positive work environment where people stretch toward excellence. They share power with their management team to bring the full effect of personal motivation to organizational initiatives.
Effective CEOs build an organization of committed people who together accomplish great feats. They believe in the adage:
“Self motivation is the power that raises you to any level you seek”
