One of them being a servant leader. Serving our team to accomplish their goals. we need to have a balance between servant leadership and transformational leadership. Transformational leadership is focussed more on the goals of the organization whereas servant leadership is more focussed on the people.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="status-body"&gt;&lt;span class="entry-content"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

<title>Upbeat - Book Review</title>

<guid isPermaLink="true">http://cyrilrayan.typepad.com/my_weblog/2009/07/upbeat-book-review.html</guid>

<content:encoded>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The author of Upbeat&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;Rajesh Setty is a good friend and one of the most productive
people I know. He has written his second personal development book and I can tell you that we can
expect to see several more books from him.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Upbeat is a very easy read but packed with practical
insights to stay upbeat irrespective of the economy or circumstance. It is the key
to success. Our attitude will determine our altitude. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Rajesh covers this in several sections;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The Trap: This covers the concept of keeping our
conversations positive. Life and death is in the power of the tongue. Also
ensure that we are not ignoring our health.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The discipline: We need to maintain discipline to succeed.
Nothing happens overnight. We need to be bold, stop doing unproductive things
and demand more from ourselves.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The Network: Do not Network to just get that is most of the people.
Network to help others first. The key metric is “extra capacity” that you add
in the life of another person on your network.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The Strategy: Have a realistic plan, focus on the core
problem and partner to eliminate the impact of your weaknesses.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The Action: After reading this section one quote comes to
mind.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the
things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the
bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover. – Mark Twain&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Finally there is a Do it yourself help book with practical
insights. All in all a great book! Thanks Rajesh!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Check his blog at &lt;a href="http://www.lifebeyondcode.com"&gt;http://www.lifebeyondcode.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>
