Here are 5 powers that will
help you achieve true success.
1. Status Power
Here the main focus lies on titles, functions, money, car, resume, in brief:
'the name and fame' of the person involved. With a carefully, well build-up
status you are worth your name in gold. Be aware of how much ego-aspects can be
involved in status and if the status is indeed well deserved?!
2. Network and Relationships Power
'Who do you know?' All things being equal, 'the deal' will always go to people
who have a fine relationship where at the end, respect (for each other and
yourself) and mutual benefit (win-win) are the prime focus. Listen well, have
patience and be sincerely interested in the other. The right connection is the
key.
3. Knowledge and Experience Power
'What do you know! Been there, seen it, done it!'. This healthy maturity, great
'hands-on' experience and good preparation determines who gets the business. A
never ending eagerness to learn and grow is fun and fundamental.
4. Presentation Power
This is where our traditional senses - seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting,
feeling - play the main role as the research outcomes that words are 7%,
tonality, 38% and body language (including 'good looks') are 55% of the message.
5. Inner Power
Here we talk about the 'real presence' of a person that is perceived with the
'6th sense'; it can be described in terms of integrity, sincerity, 'heart and
soul', passion, charisma, the real person!? It is that natural authority of
authenticity, trust and 'the right feeling'. Recent research show that this is
actually about 65% of our communication. It is what makes us admire people such
as Mahatma Ghandi, Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King Jr. The better you
manage yourself, the greater this all important 5th power. If your inner power
is strong the first four will score high automatically and this road is faster
and more affective than the other way around!
