Adjectives that describe the art and way of talking

Let's talk...

There are many adjectives that describe the art and way of talking.

They will phrase, rephrase and rephrase their thoughts; garnish it with unnecessary words, and you'll resort to finding ear plugs to do away with the repetitiousness they employ.

Key Points - climbing up in the ladder.

Key Points from Maxwell’s text about climbing up in the ladder.

In the past few weeks, I got excellent opportunity to go through lot of articles, books, audio tapes and videos related leadership topics. My whole September spent majority on Maxwell’s Leadership work.

There is a wonderful piece literature about leadership levels in “Developing Leader within You”. I thought it would be nice to provide my view about that here.

* Leadership is a journey & it does not end with an achievement of certain qualities.

* I view Maxwell’s five levels of leadership mainly within an organizational structure but it can be applied beyond that.

* There are 5Ps of leadership in the increasing order respectively – Position, Permission, Production, People Development, Personhood.

* Maxwell nicely states all the indicators starting with letter “R” so there will be 5Rs corresponding to each “P” level – Rights, Relationships, Results, Reproduction, Respect.

* One of the “Maxwell-ism” says “Leadership is Influence. That’s it. Nothing more; nothing less.” & all these five levels are carefully built on this Influence factor.

I encourage all of you to go through “Developing The Leader within You” to fulfill your leadership career.

Pecuniary

We know that "Pecuniary" pertains to money, as in, pecuniary affairs; let's discuss its derivation.

"Pecuniary" is derived from the Latin root "pecus" means cattle. In early days one's affluent background was not measured by stocks or shares but by the stock of cattle one possessed, which was considered to be logical as one could procure milk, meat and leather.

A person who had lots of "pecus", in the past, was affluent, a person who was without "pecus" was broke and destitute. In today's world who is without any money or funds habitually, who lacks money power is called an impervious person.
