[4] Private classes at Thousand Island Park [ edit ] SEEK TO EARN RESPECT, NOT LOVE. The outstanding leaders are always respected. They may or may not be loved. The big mistake that aspiring leaders make is that they want their team to love or like them. This is always welcome as a side effect. But it cannot be a primary goal. Primary goal is — earn respect. Show the team a place they never thought they could go, and then help them get there. Tell them about things they never thought they could do, and help them do it. Help them go further than they can see. And of course, exhibit role model behavior in your personality and behavior. Be the fittest and smartest you can be, dress well, speak with dignity and class and conduct yourself with class.

Transformational leaders are found at every level in an organization. They are the people that find meaning and purpose and a higher calling in their daily endeavors.

This is ranked as one of the most popular TED talks not only for the quality of the information but for Robinson’s gift of entertaining while delivering that information. Vivekanand with a polite smile and gesture replied, “In your culture, a tailor makes a gentleman; but, in our culture, Character makes the gentleman.” A 10-minute talk-cum-guitar lesson from Chic disco legend and the creative brain behind an enormous catalogue of hit records. Talking in soft tones that belie his electrifying presence, he tells us trade secrets about his signature guitar style and how to write songs.

Of this, Swamiji told the woman that since She is fascinated only by his wisdom, there is no problem. Swami Vivekananda said that "I understand your wish.

Although the instrument is so powerful, many people struggle with playing it well. Julian Treasure talks through the seven deadly sins of speaking, and a model of good positive speech that people won’t want to ignore. Unable to control her thoughts, she asked him, “Can't you wear proper clothes to look like a gentleman?” Once when Swami Vivekananda went to America, a woman expressed his desire to marry him. When Swami Vivekananda asked the woman for what your intention was. Then the woman's answer was that she was very fascinated with the wisdom of Swamiji and wished for such a wise child. That is why she asked Swami whether he could marry her and give her a child like her?

After finishing the Brooklyn lecture session, Vivekananda moved to New York. But, few of his disciples started going to the place at New York where Vivekananda stayed at that time. So, Vivekananda had to start classes there too. It was a small room of a lodging house where he was staying at that time, and the number of students and disciples increased so rapidly that it soon went beyond of the small room's capacity of the chairs. But, his students still used to sit on the floor, dresser etc. to hear his words. [3]
