By using the leadership exercises, the person can increase the productivity and quality of the company. He or she has several leadership qualities to manage the performance of any corporate organization.

One of the integral parts of these leadership exercises is the consistent teamwork. The ability to perform with groups increases the strength, productivity and quality of such organization. Such teamwork as a part of leadership exercises contains the skills of the leader to spot the positive points of his or her team members. Also, apart from his or her teammates, this also gives the importance to strengthen their organizing abilities. The leadership exercises also include the quality to unite the skillful individuals into one unit. Also, while uniting these skills and different human characteristics, the consent about the type of work, organization, and ideology of the organization is one of the integral parts. If the leadership exercises fail to satisfy their team members, the productivity will lessen and/or make several crises in the organization.

Creating an environment of mutual understanding is a vital leadership exercise for making the environment fresh and vibrant–as well as creative, which is the life blood of any organization. A true leader always gives emphasis to leading from the front with humble assurance. Leading a team with courage and confidence is the significant part of the leadership exercises.

There are a number of common mistakes business leaders, freelancers and service providers make when they are trying to attract high-quality clients. Avoiding these mistakes can mean the difference between struggling or running your business smoothly, with a steady stream of clients willing to pay you what you are worth.

Not Distinguishing between Price and Value?

Many businesses worry about price, and are willing to sell their products and services for less than their competition. The trouble is that you can get locked into the cheaper price, and find it difficult to raise it in the future and may be forced to compromise on quality. In addition, the lower price might attract only bargain-basement clients, rather than quality ones you could have a long-term relationship with. Top business people might actually dismiss you for being too cheap.  And to that point there have been many instant’s that by raising a price on a certain product and or service got the deal.

Then there’s a question of value. Value and Price are not the same. Your value will be in how good you are with your work, how reliable you are, and how well you are able to stick to your deadlines. Your value is also determined by your experience. If you are a real pro at WordPress, for example, then you are more valuable than a person charging the same amount who isn’t, because you are bringing your knowledge and experience to every project.

Recently I went to an auto body repair company for paint–less dent repair and was willing to pay to have a good job performed quickly. Not only was an appointment made right away with an estimate but after the job was done in a few hours the price was discounted because the repair company was not satisfied with the outcome (I couldn’t see any problem) so to say the least I will refer business to this company.

Not Being Clear about What You Offer?

Make a list of everything that you are good at that you could offer to your clients. Then narrow it down to things that you enjoy and can do quickly. Next, decide how closely related they are to each other. Can you offer a number of services that cover many of the basics that busy business owners would find it useful to hand over to others? They might include customer service, email marketing, uploading content to a blog, and so on.

For example, if you are able to do email marketing and you also have a health background, this might be worth mentioning in some cases, but not in others. A person interested in finance, for example, might not think you were the right person for them.

Not Choosing a Niche?

Service providers who choose a particular niche to work in often find that it is easier to get work, because they start to build up a reputation as an expert in that niche. The top three niches are health, finance and self-help. If your services are too broad the potential customer may get lost in your offerings and choose to deal with the company that focus is narrower.

Not Having a Well-Constructed Portfolio?

Your portfolio should give examples of each of the services you wish to offer, if at all possible. Give items a title, link to them, and if there are many samples, group them according to the category of services being offered.

Giving Away Too Much for Free to Make the Sale?

It’s great to want to prove that you are a talented worker who can deliver the goods, but time is money, and so is the work you do. A lot of new service providers give away far too much in terms of free information and their time. Free samples are not really needed – you have your portfolio to show what you can do.

You should also avoid long consultation calls. In an effort to be helpful and prove you are the right person for the job, you would probably give away far more information than you should. Then they really have no reason to hire you, because you have already told them what to do.

Not Marketing Yourself Enough?

Once you are a service provider, you need to tell the world you are available for work. This is not a time to be shy. Chambers of Commerce, E-Marketing, and the plethora of social media opportunities are but just a few outlets to get your message out. If you really feel bold you may join professional business groups that rely on referrals to help with the messaging.

Not Marketing Yourself in the Right Places?

Determine where your high-end prospective customers are likely to spend most of their time. Then come up with marketing material that speaks to their needs, offering real solutions at an affordable price. And don’t forget your “elevator speech”.

Not Asking Happy Customers for Referrals?

Word-of-mouth marketing is the key to a successful business. Happy customers spreading the word about how reliable and professional you are can make all the difference between a full calendar of regular assignments, that sale, and you having to chase all over trying to get new gigs or sell that product. Don’t be bashful, send a friendly note to a satisfied customer(s) asking for referrals, if you don’t ask you won’t get.

The death of a business is not willing to move forward and grow.  Always reinventing yourself and your business is the life blood of any organization.  Stepping out of that comfort zone or the preverbal box that we sometimes place ourselves in is key to our success.

So, what does experience have to do with my previous statement? As we move through life our experiences shape our lives.  Experience both good and bad is still experience and in the right frame of mined is invaluable to our success.

We’ve all said “well I’ll never do that again” hopefully a lesson learned or perhaps the better way to phrase it would “I won’t do it that way again”. So, we pick ourselves up dust off the negative feelings and move about our business but how do we look at opportunity?

Opportunity and experience are partners.  Yes partners. If you have experienced a bad or demoralizing experience you may shy away from a growth opportunity that you may think is out of reach because experience has taught you that you failed once before in trying to attain that opportunity or something similar.  Transversely if you had a good past experience the confidence would be there and the opportunity in front of you would be a cake walk.

Years back I was receiving a decoration from another Country as a recognition for my role in international diplomacy.  Being much “younger” and less concern with failing I attempted to give a short speech in the other Countries language. Well as experience went this was one experience, I wish I didn’t have or was it?

Since that time, I have given many speeches (in English) adding to my positive experience building on one speech to another when it has become as second hand nature.

Recently I found myself at another international Country’s event and a different language was involved, one that the very mispronunciation could literally mean the difference between calling someone a Mom or a Cow which I didn’t think was very funny. But the opportunity was there.  The opportunity to shake off the past and possible grow my international business. I pulled it off and the opportunities and the step-up stature was there.

Experience should be used as a road towards opportunity.  Not looking as, a bad experience as a negative but as how to learn from it and look for that next opportunity to get past the negative and treat all experience as a positive asset.

The very definition of the word experience is as follows:

Each one of the above is your business opportunity, how will you incorporate the words above into action to grow your business and build upon your experience?
