Jung Never Intended the Auxiliary to Have the Opposite Attitude
(Correction 05/09/2025: In this post, I construed "attitude" as being precisely either extroversion or introversion. However, Jung technically did not define it as being those things per se, but something different. See footnote 4 for more information.) Last post, I spent a good chunk of it focusing on the notion that Isabelle Myers misinterpreted Carl Jung about what he thought the attitude of the auxiliary function is. Because I made a pretty strong claim there and because I don't wish to leave it unbacked for too long, I decided to take care of it now (and besides, I did kinda promise to make a post like this anyway).
I will first quickly outline the bare minimum basics of Jung's model, supported by quotations. Then, I'll bring it all together with simple logical deduction and we shall see what we find in the end; I claim that what we'll find is that, under Classic Jungian, the auxiliary function of the typical individual shares an attitude with the dominant function.
The bare-bones basics of Jung's model
Jung proposed two different "attitudes", which are essentially distinct 'orientations'. One is an orientation towards "the object" -- the extroverted attitude (or extraversion, depending on your preferred spelling,) and the other is an orientation away from the object and towards "the subject" -- the introverted attitude. To quote Jung:Âč
Extraversion means an outward-turning of [psychic energyÂČ]. With this concept I denote a manifest relatedness of subject to object in the sense of a positive movement of subjective interest towards the object. Everyone in the state of extraversion thinks, feels, and acts in relation to the object
Chapter XI, p.g. 542Âł
Curiously, "Everyone in the state of" implies that attitude as such is a kind of mode one can be in. Now, introversion:
Introversion means a turning inwards of [psychic energy,] whereby a negative relation of subject to object is expressed. Interest does not move towards the object, but recedes towards the subject. Everyone whose attitude is introverted thinks, feels, and acts in a way that clearly demonstrates that the subject is the chief factor of motivation
Chapter XI, p.g. 567
We again see that attitude is a matter of one being in a particular state, though it's not as strongly implied here as with the previous excerpt. We can settle this ambiguity by looking at Jung's definition of "attitude":
. . . attitude is a readiness of the psyche to act or to react in a certain direction.
Chapter XI, p.g. 526
This not only seals the deal on what attitude is,⁎ but it even specifies on what it applies to. The operative word is "psyche", and not, say, "function".
We can also presume the two attitudes, extroversion and introversion, are primary when it comes to psychological type as, in Chapter X, not only are Jung's pure type descriptions (it will be addressed what exactly a "pure type" is later in this post,) sectioned off into an introverted and an extroverted category, but in the book's very introduction, Jung opens by talking about, of all things, the Introverted and Extroverted types:
IN my practical medical work with nervous patients I have long been struck by the fact that among the many individual differences in human psychology there exist also typical distinctions: two types especially became clear to me which I have termed the Introversion and the Extraversion Types
Introduction, p.g. 9
The next core aspect of Jung's model are the psychic functions, or "psychological functions" (I will continue to only say "psychic function" for the remainder of the post). Let's see what Jung says a psychic function is:
By psychological function I understand a certain form of psychic activity that remains theoretically the same under varying circumstances.
Chapter XI, p.g. 547
Simple enough. How many functions may there be, Jung?
I distinguish four basic functions in all, two rational and two irrational--viz. thinking and feeling, sensation and intuition.
Chapter XI, p.g. 547
The way this is worded, it could be interpreted in one of two ways: either Jung is definitively saying that there's only four functions total, or he means that these are merely the "basic" functions and that there's ultimately more overall. We will settle this ambiguity later.
The third core aspect is one that is easily forgotten about, but is at least just as important as it intermingles with the other two very intimately. This aspect is 'consciousness' vs 'unconsciousness'.
An important thing to clarify from the outset is that Jung's conception of what the word "consciousness" means is different from many other definitions attributed to it. To quote Jung:
By consciousness I understand the relatedness of psychic contents to the ego . . . in so far as they are sensed as such by the ego
Chapter XI, p.g. 535-536
"ego" here is not meant in the colloquial sense of 'self-importance', but instead means something different:
By ego, I understand a complex of representations which constitutes the centrum of my field of consciousness and appears to possess a very high degree of continuity and identity.
Chapter XI, p.g. 540
In other words, the "ego" is that thing which is reading these words right now. That is, it is essentially you. This then means that, for Jung, consciousness is simply whatever part or parts of your psyche you are most aware of. Therefore, unconsciousness is that area of the psyche which you, the ego, is unaware of.
An easily-understood example of these concepts is memory. Before a memory of yours is recalled, such as your memory of whatever you had for breakfast yesterday (if you do not remember and/or did not have breakfast yesterday, pretend otherwise for a moment -- pretty please,) it was not present within your field of awareness; it was unconscious. However, the moment I mentioned such a memory to you, it suddenly sprung to the forefront of such awareness, and so it became conscious.
As such, the psyche is divided into two parts, the conscious and unconscious sides. Likewise, this applies to every other part of Jung's typology. For this reason, consciousness and unconsciousness are two of the most important things to understand about it, and so you're encouraged to consider the following few paragraphs carefully, perhaps more so than any other on this post. In Chapter X, Jung describes "the general attitude" of both consciousness and unconsciousness for the extroverted and introverted types. We will use the former one as an example. For the extroverted types, he writes,
His entire consciousness looks outwards to the world, because the important and decisive determination always comes to him from without . . . Interest and attention follow objective happenings and, primarily, those of the immediate environment
Chapter X, p.g. 417 (Bold emphasis added; italics are of the original text)
Without a doubt, the attitude of consciousness for such kind of type is extroverted. This much was expected. However, for the unconscious side, it seems quite different:
The attitude of the unconscious as an effective complement to the conscious extraverted attitude has a definitely introverting character.
Chapter X, p.g. 422 (Emphasis added)
Why would an extroverted type's unconscious be introverted? Jung explains,
I regard the relation of the unconscious to the conscious as compensatory . . . It is only to be expected, therefore, that a psychic compensation of the conscious extraverted attitude will lay especial weight upon the subjective factor
Chapter X, p.g. 422 (Emphasis added)
In other words, Jung indicates that the unconscious's own nature serves as a compensation to the nature of consciousness. When the conscious is one way, the unconscious will be the exact opposite way. In the case of an extroverted type, since the consciousness of such is extroverted, the unconscious compensates for this by assuming an introverted nature. And an analogous situation is found with the introverted types as well:
The superior position of the subjective factor in consciousness [for the introverted types] involves an inferiority of the objective factor . . . a compensation naturally develops under the guise of an unconscious reinforcement of the influence of the object
Chapter X, p.g. 477-478 (Emphasis added)
Now, we will see how the concept of unconscious compensation applies to the psychic functions. Recall that Jung proposed four "basic" functions: Thinking, Feeling, Sensing, and Intuition. These functions have a very particular relationship with one another. The former two, Thinking and Feeling, are what Jung called the "rational" functions, while the latter two are designated the "irrational⁔" functions. What exactly those words mean is inconsequential in regards to the point being made here, and so the terms will not be explained in detail. The important thing to note about the groups is that, for each one, the two functions within are diametrically opposed; total opposites. For example, while describing Feeling, Jung says,
. . . thinking belongs to a category quite incommensurable with feeling.
Chapter XI, p.g. 545
And,
. . . [feeling's] nature stands in too strong a contrast to thinking. Thinking, if it is to be real thinking and true to its own principle, must scrupulously exclude feeling.
Chapter X, p.g. 514
The same tenet also applies to Sensing and Intuition.
It is important to note that this inter-function conflict is not as pronounced when one rational function and an irrational function are considered:
Neither intuition nor sensation are antagonistic to thinking, i.e. they have not to be unconditionally excluded, since they are not, like feeling, of similar nature, though of the opposite purpose, to thinking--for as a [rational] function feeling successfully competes with thinking -- but are functions of perception, affording welcome assistance to thought.
Chapter X, p.g. 515
Anyway, as with extroversion and introversion, there is the concept of opposites at play. As one might expect, this also implies that psychic functions relate to consciousness and unconsciousness in a very similar manner as the attitudes do.
If you're familiar with Pop-Myers-Briggs, or any other similar typology, you likely already know the idea of "function stacks". Jung never explicitly talks about such type of concept, but he does talk about three aspects of it: the "dominant", "auxiliary", and "inferior" functions (if you're going, "Where's the other one?" don't worry, we'll get there.)
The dominant and inferior positions are the ones most elaborated upon by Jung. In fact, the eight type descriptions found in Chapter X of Psychological Types are what he calls the "pure types": a type with only one function -- that is, the dominant one -- present in consciousness. As for the non-pure types, the auxiliary only receives a passing mention. To quote:
In the foregoing descriptions I have no desire to give my readers the impression that such pure types occur at all frequently in actual practice . . . Accurate investigation of the individual case consistently reveals the fact that, in conjunction with the most [conscious] function, another function of secondary importance, and therefore of inferior differentiation in consciousness, is constantly present, and is a relatively determining factor.
Chapter X, p.g. 514 (Emphasis added)
In other words, for the average person, consciousness has a total of two "basic" functions: the dominant function and the auxiliary function. If you're familiar with the function "stacks" of the Pop-Myers-Briggs system, you may recognize that they share a very similar pattern with Jung's own theory here. You may also be wondering where the other two functions are. Well, at least one of them, the inferior, is also here in Classic Jungian, except for one major difference: it is unconscious.⁶
Recall that when consciousness is extroverted, unconsciousness is then introverted. A very similar case happens with the functions. When Feeling is dominant, the unconscious compensates for this by taking on the Thinking function as its own "dominant" -- this does not mean that there are two dominant functions per se, but simply that the inferior function is the unconscious equivalent of consciousness's own dominant function. For example, the case of Jung's pure Extroverted Thinking type:
Since feelings are the first to oppose and contradict [extraverted thinking], they are affected first by this conscious inhibition, and upon them the most intense repression falls . . . Should the repression succeed, it disappears from consciousness and proceeds to unfold a[n unconscious] activity, which runs counter to conscious aims
Chapter X, p.g. 437-438
Now, although Jung only mentions these three positions -- dominant, auxiliary, and inferior, we can yet deduce that there must also exist an additional one as well, sitting between the auxiliary and inferior. If the dominant function has an unconscious counterpart found in the inferior function, then the auxiliary then must as well have its own counterpart also found within the unconscious. You may already know this as the "tertiary" function.
To sum up, the typical, fully developed psyche's function-arrangement within Classic Jungian goes like so:⁷
Dominant - Auxiliary <> Tertiary - Inferior
The "<>" separates the conscious (left) from the unconscious (right).
Following this general structure, here's an example of a Sensing type with a Thinking auxiliary:
Sensing - Thinking <> Feeling - Intuition
Bringing it all together
To recap, there are two different "attitudes"; two opposing modes of orientation regarding the world. One is a positive orientation to the object, extroversion, the other a negative relation to the object, introversion. Both modes apply to the psyche of each type, but in a dialectical manner, such that when the conscious side is of one mode, the unconscious finds itself in the exact opposite mode.
Additionally, Jung delineated four "basic" psychic functions: Thinking, Feeling, Sensing, and Intuition. The first two are designated as "rational", the other two "irrational". A function of one given category is mutually opposed with that of the same category, and therefore when one of them is conscious, the other is unconscious. However, this conflict does not apply as such across categories, and so, for instance, when there is an irrational function as the dominant function, there can be a rational auxiliary, which, like the dominant, is also conscious.
Now, the punchline.
As the two attitudes apply primarily to the psyche and not the functions themselves, and as the manner in which they apply to the psyche is dialectical and one-sided in nature -- meaning, the conscious side can only ever be either extroverted or introverted, not both at the same time, and the unconscious must have the opposing attitude to consciousness -- this unequivocally necessitates the fact that, under Classic Jungian, the auxiliary function has to be under the same attitude as the dominant function, and vice versa. So, if there is an Introverted Intuitive type with a Feeling auxiliary, both Intuition and Feeling must share the same attitude; for either to differ in attitude would mean consciousness has two attitudes at once, which is impossible given the parameters of Jung's model as previously stated. The same logic applies to the unconscious side of the function-arrangement, i.e., the inferior and tertiary functions share an attitude as well.
Addressing potential counterpoints
I will now address two certain arguments against my conclusion that I anticipate being made.
Counterargument #1: As alluded to earlier, one could point to Jung qualifying the four functions as the "basic" ones to mean that there are ultimately eight. That is to say, the four functions Jung describes would be the 'base functions', with each of them having two derivative forms: one extroverted, one introverted. This opens the door to there existing functions that have attitudes independent of both consciousness's and unconsciousness's overarching ones.
However, this is very unlikely. In Chapter XI of Psychological Types, which Jung dedicated to exhaustively defining his terms in detail, no entry for something like "introverted feeling" is to be found; there are entries for the four functions only. If he indeed thought there were ultimately eight functions in total, why does he not have definitions for both the supposed 'base functions' and their derivatives? Furthermore, Jung specifying that the functions remain "theoretically the same under varying circumstances" contradicts the notion of there being such derivative functions, as for something like Thinking turning into Extroverted Thinking would suggest that Thinking's intrinsic nature has changed as a result.
Counterargument #2: In Jung's Psychological Types, near the end of Chapter X, he proclaims this:
For all the types appearing in practice, the principle holds good that besides the conscious main function there is also a relatively [conscious⁞], auxiliary function, which is in every respect different from the nature of the main function.
Chapter X, p.g. 515 (Emphasis added)
Many, including Isabelle Myers, have taken "in every respect" to mean the auxiliary must be the opposing attitude to the dominant. However, this is also unlikely. Before where the previous quote was taken from, we find this:
Naturally only those functions can appear as auxiliary whose nature is not opposed to the leading function. For instance, feeling can never act as the second function by the side of thinking, because its nature stands in too strong a contrast to thinking.
Chapter X, p.g. 514
Upon careful consideration, it is clear that by "nature", Jung is referring to the 'rationality'/'irrationality' of a function. If he meant something other than that, one would expect him to also mention the two attitudes. This is not even withstanding the fact that, as established earlier, attitude only applies to the psyche, not functions, and so neither extroversion nor introversion could be part of a function's intrinsic nature anyway.
Closing off
As one can readily see (hopefully) from my argumentation, given the core aspects of Classic Jungian, the auxiliary function's attitude for every one of the sixteen types matches that of the dominant function. To say otherwise is to simply misunderstand the very fundamentals of the system.
It may be helpful to combine the overarching argument presented in this post with Akrhomant's own post on this subject, as it mentions things I haven't touched upon here. Taking all of his points into consideration alongside my own, I'd say there's zero to no leeway for thinking the auxiliary's attitude mismatches the dominant's.

FOOTNOTES:
All quotations are from a certain copy of “The Collected Works of C.G. Jung, Volume 6: Psychological Types”. You can find it here: https://archive.org/details/Vol06PsychologicalTypes/
The original quotation says “libido”, but Jung defined such a word in a manner equivalent with the general concept of psychic energy, which can involve sexual desire, but does not always involve it.
All emphasis -- italics, bolded text, or otherwise, is of the original text for all quotations unless otherwise specified.
This footnote is in reference to the correction notice at the start of this post. Attitude is not actually a matter of "being in a particular state", because Jung didn't construe extroversion nor introversion themselves as being "attitudes", but "mechanisms". Quote: "These opposite attitudes are merely opposite mechanisms -- a diastolic going out and seizing of the object, and a systolic concentration and release of energy from the object seized . . . Outer circumstances and inner disposition frequently favour the one mechanism, and restrict or hinder the other; whereby a predominance of one mechanism naturally arises. If this condition becomes in any way chronic, a type is produced, namely an habitual attitude" (Introduction, p.g. 13). So, extroversion/introversion are the states; mechanisms, not attitude in of itself. For Jung, attitude would be far more general, able to apply not only to the two mechanisms of extroversion and introversion, but to the four functions as well: "When a function habitually predominates, a typical attitude is thereby produced . . . there exist a typical thinking, a feeling, a sensational, and an intuitive attitude" (Chapter XI, p.g. 529-530). Essentially, attitude per se is essentially a different way to say "tendency". However, notably, the thesis of the post is not affected by this error. You can replace all other instances of the word "attitude" which come after the point in which this footnote was inserted with "mechanism-attitude" and the overarching argument will still hold strong.
Jung did not say the word “irrational” to mean something against reason, but rather meant it as, quote, “something outside the province of reason, whose essence, therefore, is not established by reason.” (Chapter XI, p.g. 569). A more suitable term for such a concept would perhaps be “arational”.
Some interpretations of Pop-MB may have some concept of the inferior being unconscious, or at least being related to the unconscious, but it’s not that common and is certainly not very well-emphasized as shown here in Classic Jungian.
Somewhere just before or around the age of adolescence, or after in the case of an atypical psychology, the function-arrangement under Jung’s original typology may (theoretically) look different. For example, the arrangement matching that of one of the eight pure types -- that is, one conscious function and three unconscious functions.
The original text says “unconscious”. However, this is a known translation error; the source text, Psychologische Typen, says “bewusste“, which is German for ‘conscious’. For this reason, I have corrected it here.

Do you have any tips for getting rid of the fear of writing bc your scared of writing the characters out of character?
I feel like its really hindering me and I just don’t have the time to do as through of character research/analysis as I want but i still wanna write them while i still have motivation
First off, thank you for reaching out! I'm so happy to hear you've got the itch to write!
I think I'd offer three tips here --
A. Remember that fandom first and foremost should be about having fun. Authorial intent and canon characterizations do matter, because the creators are also people who (hopefully!) love the things they're writing. So I don't want to like...just say "screw that!" without any acknowledgement of their passion and intention.
But at the same time, we're all going to hone in on different things in a text, or in the case of say a manga, maybe read different things from a character's expression, etc etc. And fanfiction is transformative work. Some fics are like, "this was painstakingly researched and could slot perfectly into canon," and other fics are more like, "I know it isn't, but what if the smirk in panel 3 of page 8 in chapter 29 was Character A putting the moves on Character B*??" And both of those kinds of fic are fun, and have their place in fandom!! And fandom should be fun!!
B. Acknowledgment goes a long way. Slutty (affectionate) Fanon!Albert is a pretty well-established thing at this point, but I know we can't chapter-and-verse prove it from canon. If anything canon lends itself to him being sexually repressed (I'm going to write that someday, I swear). But slutty Albert is fun, and I enjoy writing him, so I do...but I make no bones about admitting easily and readily when I'm playing fast and loose with canon. I admit when I'm being silly, or pulling headcanons out of a hat, or just haven't reread parts of the series in so long that it's all a vague blur.
Just saying, "I'm not really trying to be canon-compliant at the moment" goes a long way towards settling down anyone who might otherwise feel compelled to correct you (if you're considering writing for us though, the Yuumori fandom overall is wonderfully chill and not at all prone to offering unsolicited criticism, so don't worry too much!)
C. It's pedantic and fussy of me, but for me personally, good grammar and punctuation and formatting goes a long way. A fic could be perfectly in character and I'd never get far enough to find out if I click it and it's all one big block of text, or uses dashes instead of quotation marks, etc. Now I'm a hypocrite here, because I use commas like the world is ending and they're every joy on earth rolled up into one last hurrah, but I excuse that because I'm writing in a Victorian setting and Victorian writers did that too. So I'm pretending it's a stylistic choice instead of a bad habit. 😂 But I think what I'm getting at here is: make your fic easy to read -- not in subject matter or word choice or anything like that, but in the most basic visual sense. Make it easy on the eyes, and people will stick around to get to know the characters as you write them, even if that's not overly canon-compliant. (Just from the format of your ask, btw, I think you're already doing well in this area. Your ask was easier to read than this response probably is.😅)
*joke specifically for those reading Yuumori on mangadex

TW for mention of Suicide by ch4! Don’t want any unwanted discomfort! Also spoilers for trigger happy havoc incase you haven’t played :3
So here’s the deaths and executions of each chapter. Btw! Motives will stay the same maybe with a few changes.
Ch1: Leon (Killed by Monokuma after he attacked him once he saw the motive video), Junko (victim), Sayaka (murderer)
I really just shifted the fates of the ch 1 characters. I count killed by monokuma as different from the normal victim role.
Ch2: Byakuya (Victim), Toko (Murderer)
Instead of Mondo killing Chihiro, Toko kills Byakuya out of desperation to keep her secret of being Genocide Jack safe.
Ch3: Yasuhiro (Victim), Aoi (Victim), Hifumi (Murderer)
The money motive doesn’t end up working so instead monokuma reveals Sakura as the traitor. Everyone but Pax and Aoi are against and don’t trust her. Aoi uses Alter Ego as leverage for Hifumi where he kills yasuhiro and suspects Aoi will double cross him so he kills her. Tbh this is very much a work in progress so it’s subject to change.
Ch4: Sakura (Victim), Pax (Murderer)
Sakura is distraught at the loss of her friend and everyone still distrusts her. So she decides to die out of resentment for the group. To do so she devises a plan to have Pax be declared the murderer while masking it as suicide.
Ch5: “Mukuro” (Victim), Makoto (“Murderer”)
Why the quotation marks? Well it’s bc obviously it’s not really Mukuro (Reused Junko’s corpse) and Makoto doesn’t actually kill her. However, Alter Ego never stops the execution so Makoto actually dies. Kyoko becomes the protagonist.
Ch6: The Ultimate Despair Mukuro (Executed)
Kyoko shows evidence of Makoto’s false conviction and gets a retrial to uncover the mysteries of the school and unveil the mastermind. They discover it’s Mukuro and hear her reasoning and counter it to make her realize she’s no better than those she sought to punish with the tragedy. She opts to execute herself and let the others escape.
Epilogue: Survivors are Kyoko, Mondo, Kiyotaka, Chihiro, Celeste

Cyberpunk contains heavy violence, language, and killing. Since I personally do not feel comfortable discussing these topics with anyone below the age of 21, my blog is rated 21+. If you're sensitive to this kind of content, I advise you to read my threads with caution because I cannot promise that everything will be sunshine and roses all the time. If any of my threads have an alarming amount of triggering material I will appropriately tag it and put it under a read more.
002. THIS BLOG IS PRIVATE AND HEAVILY PLOT BASED.
This is a mutuals only blog, so all plots and asks will be answered based on a mutual basis. This is nothing personal, I'm just very very busy, so all of my blogs are essentially private, meaning that I prefer it if we plot first before interacting. If we are mutuals and you would like to plot, feel free to message me and let me know your ideas!
003. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT MUSE'S VIEWS DO NOT REFLECT THE WRITER'S VIEWS.
Any thoughts or ideas expressed by my muse are not a reflection of my own views. If you are uncomfortable with any of the subject matter posed on this blog, you are more than welcome not to follow, believe me I completely understand!
004. I WILL TAG ANY AND ALL TRIGGERS.
I will tag anything that may be of a triggering nature such as blood, gore, death, etc. If there is something I miss that you really need me to tag, please tell me! Anonymously or not, I won’t ask why and don’t need any explanation, just tell me what you need tagged and consider it done. Posts that are triggering will have a ‘tw:’ before them, so for example if someone’s trigger was blood, it’d be ‘tw: blood’ (without the quotations).
005. DO NOT RUSH ME INTO REPLYING OR WRITING A STARTER.
I write at my own pace at my own time. I am a very slow writer, and also have a life outside of tumblr. If I do not reply to your thread right away it doesn’t mean that I hate you, or that I am bored with our thread. I’m either busy, don’t have the motivation to write, or don’t feel the muse for it at the moment. Along that same token, don’t rush me into plotting or writing starters. I’m a slow writer, and even slower when I write a starter.
006. I'M OPEN TO ALL ROLEPLAYING STYLES.
I am open to chat threads, short threads, long threads, just note that long threads will take longer for me to reply to as it is much faster and easier for me to write plain dialogue than prose. If you have a preferred length you are welcome to message me, and we can work something out! Just don’t feel the need to have to match my length exactly, all I ask is that it’s comparable in length, like if I give you a good solid two paragraphs, I expect more than just a sentence back.
007. THIS BLOG IS DUPLICATE FRIENDLY.
Even though V is the main character of the game, arguably they are an OC that can be molded to fit into any narrative that you want. Honestly, duplicates have never bothered me before, and with a character as versatile as V can be, I feel like it's even easier to interact with duplicates. So take this as your invitation to bring on the V vs. V action!

This article provides a comprehensive survey of some of the recent advances in gaming technologies. The article also extensively describes some of the most commonly used gaming terminals and platforms in the modern society. It further highlights latest game technologies and proposes ways of improving the gaming experience, as well as, linked standardization measures. Assessment: This article provides immense background information about gaming technology. It also forms a good basis for research since it provides statistical evidence about trends in computer games and the fields in which they are most utilized. The article also proposes further research into the influence of games on education, behaviour and even health. Therefore it provides me with a good starting point for my research. Quotations: “Games and gaming have evolved from dedicated, single-game units to massively multiplayer online role-player games with millions of players.” “Games are an exciting way to communicate and connect with a larger community of likeminded people. Rich mobile games, combined with connected near distance multiplayer gaming over Bluetooth and wide area gaming using cellular networks, opens the door for totally new gaming concepts.” Foreman, Joel. NEXT-Generation Educational Technology versus the Lecture. EDUCAUSE Review (August 2003). Web. 11 November 2013. Summary: This article provides a comprehensive comparative analysis of conventional learning methods and the modern technology-based approaches, with particular interest in use of games. The author discusses several aspects that constitute ideal learning situations. This article further indicates that shared graphical settings such as those utilized in multiple-user internet games are likely to be the ideal learning environments in the future. The paper is also indicative of the fact that games technology provides visualizations with sophistication and dynamism that could only be produced with supercomputers in the past. Assessment: This article is a highly informative source for my prospective research, since it compares traditional and modern technology-based methods. As a result, it provides a platform for proving that learning using modern technologies like multi-user games is more advantageous than conventional learning. The author presents this argument in a systematic hence coherent manner and at the same time cites previous research in the subject. Citing relevant literature and inclusion of statistical data makes the article a credible source. Quotations: “Visualizations, best referred to as immersive worlds, can bring a student into and through any environment that can be imagined. Instead of learning about a subject by listening to a lecture or by processing page-based alphanumerics, students can enter and explore a screen-based simulated world that is the next-best thing to reality.” “If nothing else, games expose players to deeply engaging, visually dynamic, rapidly paced, and highly gratifying pictorial experiences that make almost any sort of conventional schoolwork seem boring by comparison.” Perrotta, Carlo, Featherstone Gill, Aston Helen, and Houghton, Emily. Game-based Learning: Latest Evidence and Future Directions. Slough: NFER. 2013 Summary: This book explores evidence of the growing use of new education approaches. The authors particularly focus on how increasingly popular trends like game-based teaching, as well as, act as rewarding education experiences. The book is emphatic on the ways in which games challenge, motivate, and engage young learners. It also shows how game technologies equip learners with the necessary attitudes and skills for knowledge acquisition, living and working in the contemporary society. Assessment: This article covers a wide array of issues regarding learning based on computer games. For instance, it follows an orderly arrangement by first defining game-based learning, followed by the observed effects and possible impact of this mode of learning on scholars’ engagement and academic achievement.

Lost Girls (DI Kim Stone #3), by Angela Marsons
Tumblr media
Lost Girls by Angela Marsons My rating: 3 of 5 stars I read "Lost Girls" by Angela Marsons because I really like Kim Stone as an investigator. Stone is often harsh at least, sometimes to the point of callously offending anyone who hasn’t earned her respect. She is also desperately compartmentalising her gruesome childhood and youth to be able to merely “function”. I simply cannot help but root for such a person. As for the three novels I’ve read by now, I’ve generally found Marsons’ books to be a reasonably decent way to pass the time, offering a reliable dose of police procedural with Kim Stone at the helm. However, this one felt a bit of a misstep, venturing into territory that, for me at least, felt unnecessarily grim. Marsons herself states, »Each story is intended to entertain and take the reader on an exciting, interesting journey. There are some subjects in the books that are difficult to stomach but I aim to treat each situation with respect and sensitivity and not sensationalism.« It's a noble aim, but I’m not entirely sure this novel hits the mark. The rest of this review will be full of revealing quotations and unabashedly present spoiler after spoiler. You have been warned. The premise of “Lost Girls” hinges on the abduction of children. We follow Kim Stone and her team as they try to unravel the mystery, but we also get glimpses into the world of the kidnappers, a choice that, frankly, didn’t work for me. As one of my notes states regarding the kidnappers' perspective, it was just too unsubtle and flat-out violent. “Subject One” is depicted as an “evil genius” type of criminal, whereas “Subject Two” is sculpted as a sociopathic “killing machine”. Both remain at this generic level of characterisation. While their respective motives are somewhat clear, there are no convincing explanations and, in the case of “Subject Two”, a strongly hyperbolised attempt to make him feel plausible. The choice of “Subject Three” seemed completely absurd to me. I cannot even quote from these passages because they’d display extreme violence against young animals and children. [ “Subject One” is depicted as an “evil genius” type of criminal, whereas “Subject Two” is sculpted as a sociopathic “killing machine”. Both remain at this generic level of characterisation.

The choice of “Subject Three” seemed completely absurd to me. I cannot even quote from these passages because they’d display extreme violence against young animals and children. (hide spoiler)] A level of brutality is shown that I cannot help but feel reflects back on the author. There were signature “Kim moments” where the dialogue felt amusing, such as this, in which she speaks to her superior: »She tipped her head. ‘How could you have been so sure?’ ‘Because you were told you couldn't have it – and you don’t like that one little bit.’ Kim opened her mouth and closed it again. For once she could not disagree.« In "Lost Girls", however, the relentless focus on the darker aspects often overshadowed the more nuanced elements. For example, I found the parents quite interesting, especially Karen and Robert, but they remain sadly underused. The level of depravity explored felt excessive, or, as Marsons puts it, it is »a level of depravity that went beyond any case worked«, and indeed, it's a level I don’t particularly want to read about. There's a disturbing element to making the victims young children. As a father of three I was deeply horrified. While I appreciate that crime fiction often delves into unpleasant realities, this felt gratuitous at times, leaning towards shock value rather than serving the story. At around the halfway mark, I even considered a DNF, given the excessive violence. Kim Stone’s character, while usually compelling in her relentless pursuit of justice, verged on being almost unlikeable here. There’s a scene where she’s contemplating a victim:
»Kim had to agree but this was a crime scene she viewed dispassionately. Inga had made choices. She had been party to the abduction of innocent children. Yes, this pitiful figure had felt fear but she was now free of that fear. For two little girls, it went on. She hoped.« [ There’s a scene where she’s contemplating a victim: »Kim had to agree but this was a crime scene she viewed dispassionately. Inga had made choices. She had been party to the abduction of innocent children. Yes, this pitiful figure had felt fear but she was now free of that fear. For two little girls, it went on. She hoped.« (hide spoiler)] This reaction seems cold-hearted and devoid of empathy, overstating Kim's character. While her tough exterior is part of her appeal, the dispassionate view of the crime scene felt a bit much this time around. It’s one of my core convictions that absolutely nobody deserves to die - no matter what someone did. This point of view also was reflected in the first Kim Stone novel. By Kim herself. The raw fear experienced by the victims, Charlie and Amy, is palpable in moments like this: »Amy cried out and Charlie pulled her close, unable to speak. The fear had paralysed her throat because a part of her had realised the truth. Tomorrow they were going to die.« While undeniably impactful, it ultimately felt unnecessary, included more for pure shock value than any real contribution to the story.

She recognised the potential pitfalls, as evidenced by her statement, but the execution didn't quite land for me. Compared to other crime thrillers, this one felt heavier on the grim details without offering sufficient depth or nuance in other areas. Ultimately, "Lost Girls" wasn’t a complete disaster, but it certainly wasn’t my favourite from Angela Marsons. The subject matter felt heavy-handed, and the relentless focus on violence detracted from the more engaging aspects of her writing. Three out of five stars.

How to Structure an Academic Essay: A Complete Guide
Academic essays are foundational pieces of writing in education, designed to showcase your understanding of a subject and your ability to communicate effectively. Whether you're a student just starting or someone looking to refine their essay-writing skills, understanding how to structure an academic essay is crucial. This guide will walk you through the process step by step, helping you create well-organized and compelling essays.
Writing a structured academic essay not only enhances clarity but also helps in presenting ideas in a logical manner. This guide aims to demystify the process and provide practical tips for creating essays that stand out.
Understanding the Basics of an Academic Essay
What is an Academic Essay?
An academic essay is a piece of writing that presents an argument or analysis on a specific topic. It follows a formal structure and is usually based on extensive research and critical analysis.
Types of Academic Essays
There are several types of academic essays, including:
Descriptive Essays: Focus on describing a topic, event, or concept.
Narrative Essays: Tell a story or recount an experience.
Expository Essays: Explain an idea or provide information.
Persuasive Essays: Convince the reader to adopt a particular viewpoint.
Choosing a Topic
Importance of Choosing the Right Topic
Selecting a topic is the first step in essay writing. It should be relevant, interesting, and manageable within the given scope.
Tips for Choosing a Topic
Relevance: Ensure the topic aligns with your assignment requirements.
Interest: Choose a topic that sparks your curiosity to maintain motivation.
Feasibility: Consider the availability of research materials and your understanding of the topic.
Research and Gathering Information
Primary vs. Secondary Sources
Primary Sources: Original materials such as interviews, surveys, or historical documents.
Secondary Sources: Interpretations and analyses of primary sources by other authors.
Note-taking Strategies
Effective note-taking helps organize information for later use in your essay. Techniques include summarizing, paraphrasing, and citing sources accurately.
Creating a Thesis Statement
Definition and Purpose
A thesis statement is the central argument or main idea of your essay. It informs readers about the purpose and direction of your writing.
Characteristics of a Strong Thesis
Specific: Clearly states the main point of your essay.
Debatable: Invites discussion and analysis rather than stating a fact.
Focused: Narrows down the topic to a manageable scope.
Planning Your Essay Structure
Introduction
The introduction sets the stage for your essay by providing background information and introducing the thesis statement.
Body Paragraphs
Topic Sentences: Each paragraph should begin with a topic sentence that supports the thesis.
Supporting Evidence: Provide evidence, examples, or quotations to substantiate your points.
Transitions: Use transitional words and phrases to create cohesion between paragraphs.
Conclusion
Summarize the main points and restate the thesis in the conclusion. Avoid introducing new information and leave the reader with a final thought or reflection.
Drafting and Revising
Writing the First Draft
Focus on Content: Write freely without worrying about perfection.
Structure and Flow: Ensure each paragraph contributes to the overall coherence of the essay.
Revision: Review and refine your draft for clarity, coherence, and effectiveness of argumentation.
Editing and Proofreading
Editing
Content Review: Check for logical consistency and coherence.
Clarity: Ensure each sentence is clear and concise.
Grammar and Style: Correct grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure errors.
Proofreading
Spelling and Typos: Use spell-check tools and read your essay aloud to catch any overlooked errors.
Formatting: Check formatting requirements such as margins, font size, and citation style.
Conclusion
In conclusion, mastering the structure of an academic essay is pivotal for effectively communicating ideas in educational contexts. By adhering to the outlined steps—from selecting a relevant topic and conducting thorough research to crafting a strong thesis statement and organizing content logically—students can enhance their writing skills and produce compelling essays. The structured approach not only improves clarity and coherence but also fosters critical thinking and analytical skills essential for academic success.

FAQs
1. How long should an academic essay be?
Academic essays vary in length depending on the assignment guidelines but typically range from 1500 to 2500 words.
2. Can I use personal pronouns in an academic essay?
It depends on the academic discipline and assignment requirements. Consult your instructor for specific guidelines.
3. Is it necessary to include a bibliography or works cited page?
Yes, unless otherwise specified. A bibliography acknowledges sources used in your research and provides credibility to your arguments.
4. What should I do if I'm stuck choosing a topic?
Brainstorm with peers or seek advice from your instructor to find a topic that aligns with your interests and assignment requirements.
5. How can I improve my essay-writing skills over time?
Practice regularly, seek feedback from peers or instructors, and read extensively to enhance your writing and critical thinking abilities.

CJ court watch - the white supremacist - antifa case
In United States v. Rundo, 18-cr-759 (C.D. Cal. Feb. 21, 2024), the defendants are "members of the Rise Above Movement (“RAM”), a group of far-right, white supremacist nationalists, who attended several rallies and protests during which they engaged in violent acts." On 21feb24, J. Cormack J. Carney dismissed the charges for selective prosecution.
RAM's idea was to attend Trump rallies in California and to oppose antifa attacks on the Trump ralliers. Apparently RAM's only involvement was a Trump rallies. When antifa shows up, you know there will be violence.
Of the 20 people arrested at the April 2017 Berkeley rally, the government charged only Defendants and other members of RAM under the Anti-Riot Act. (Dkt. 281 at 17.) The government charged no members of Antifa, BAMN, or other far-left groups under the Anti-Riot Act for their use of violence to shut down the rally.*** “In our criminal justice system, the executive branch has broad discretion to decide whom to prosecute. However, prosecutorial discretion is not unfettered, and selectivity in the enforcement of criminal laws is subject to constitutional constraints.” United States v. Culliton, 328 F.3d 1074, 1081 (9th Cir. 2003) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). “[A]n indictment that results from selective prosecution will be dismissed.” United States v. Mayer, 503 F.3d 740, 747 (9th Cir. 2007). “To establish a claim of selective prosecution, a defendant must show both discriminatory effect and discriminatory purpose.” United States v. Sellers, 906 F.3d 848, 852 (9th Cir. 2018). A defendant “must demonstrate that (1) other similarly situated individuals have not been prosecuted and (2) his prosecution was based on an impermissible motive.” United States v. Sutcliffe, 505 F.3d 944, 954 (9th Cir. 2007). Impermissible motives “includ[e] the exercise of protected statutory and constitutional rights.”*** The government denies selectively prosecuting Defendants *** focuses on three individuals, J.A., J.F., and J.M.A., which it asserts are the only relevant comparators to Defendants in assessing discriminatory effect because they are the only individuals who have a connection to the Central District of California. (Dkt. 307 at 15.) Even accepting the premise of the government’s argument as true, the government’s failure to prosecute J.A., J.F., or J.M.A. still demonstrates discriminatory effect.*** the government asserts that it did not prosecute Defendants for their beliefs and protected speech but rather “because they engaged in repeated acts of coordinated violence.” (Id. at 25; see also id. at 29 [referencing “Defendants’ violent and coordinated conduct”].) But this completely ignores that Antifa and related far-left groups did precisely the same thing. What is more, Antifa and related far-left groups attended pro-Trump or far-right political events to disrupt protected political activity. Defendants did not attend a Trump rally at Huntington Beach to shut down the rally—it was J.F., J.A., and J.M.A. who intended to disrupt the rally, following Antifa’s playbook.*** the government provides many facially neutral reasons why it pursued prosecutions against RAM members such as Defendants. But when examined, each of those reasons apply, often to a greater extent, to Antifa and related far-left groups.***
The gov't has appealed this ruling to the 9th Circuit. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/8209295/united-states-v-rundo/ has a handy docket for the case.

“If you hold onto your dreams, I am sure they will come true.”
Good afternoon. Let me start my speech with a quotation from an anime Keroro Gunsou. Keroro once said:
“If you hold onto your dreams, I am sure they will come true.” These 11 words have been inspiring me for more than a few years now. It means that if you keep on believing in your dreams and keep on doing it with dedication and hard work you can achieve it.
Way back when I was in my 4th level in High School, my goal was to be included in our honor roll. But our grading system was changed. The new grading system only allows students who have a GWA of 87.00 and higher to be on top. It made me nervous because I knew that I am not that smart and I might get left behind. First grading came and the list of those who are on top has already been posted, while I am on my way to see the list, I can hear other students saying that of all the years, 4th year had the least amount of top students.
When I reached the bulletin board, I saw the list, there were only 12. I was very disappointed that my name wasn’t on the list. I was very disappointed of myself because I used to be a consistent top student before.
But it didn’t became a hindrance, it became my motivation. I studied every day, get a perfect score whenever I can, review every day and stuff like that. It was halfway of our 2nd grading period when our Principal announces that there will be a Semestral Reading of Honors, SMRH is an annual event in our school that recognizes those students who are on top, because of what our Principal announced, I doubled, even tripled my effort.
It was nearly the end of our 2nd grading, when we have this Sinaot sa Calle, I was chosen by our adviser to join the contest, I asked, and even begged for my mom to allow me to join and told her that it can add up to my grade, but she didn’t allow me.
Semestral Reading of Honors came, I am not included on the top list. It made me sad. And there was also this time when I didn’t pass a project on our computer subject because of that sadness.
4th grading came, because I really wanted to be included on the honor roll, I maximized my effort, and when graduation came, I was included in the honor roll, and guess what I am on the 17th spot.
This is the bitter reality of life, sometimes giving your best wouldn’t be enough to succeed, it requires more than just that. You have got to give it your all. Understand that to achieve anything, faith and believing in your self is a requirement, and also vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe. And with that, I end my speech. Thank you. - Lourenz S. Bontia BSN II

Democracies 2009 is a multi-part work consisting of twenty short documentary videos exploring moments of collective fervour in public spaces. It can be shown either on a sequence of monitors or as a large projection, and is number one in an edition of three. The subjects of the videos range from political demonstrations and military parades to memorial services and football matches. The range of events is deliberately broad, featuring the Loyalists’ Parade on the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne in Belfast, protests in the West Bank against the Israeli occupation, and the funeral of the far right Austrian politician Jörg Haider in Vienna. Each segment is presented without commentary, leaving the viewer to form his or her own impression of the unfolding events.

Zmijewski chose his subjects gradually, relying on newspaper coverage, political posters or word of mouth to determine which events to record. On each occasion he and the five other cameramen who worked on the project blended into the crowd as much as possible, sharing their experience with the masses around them. Zmijewski strove to highlight the motives that bring people out in force for particular causes, principally the shared dynamics of ‘political drive and radical democracy [and] participation in conflict’ (Zmijewski in Maren LĂŒbbke-Tidow 2009, p.24). The films highlight the similarities of group behaviour regardless of the political sympathies of the participants. Zmijewski has said:

Zmijewski strove to highlight the motives that bring people out in force for particular causes, principally the shared dynamics of ‘political drive and radical democracy [and] participation in conflict’ (Zmijewski in Maren LĂŒbbke-Tidow 2009, p.24). The films highlight the similarities of group behaviour regardless of the political sympathies of the participants. Zmijewski has said:
I was less interested in the rightness or justice of the cause but more in this inner drive that moves people to debate, to publicly show their own needs, demands, requests, opinions – and to defend them with their own presence.
(Zmijewski in Maren LĂŒbbke-Tidow 2009, pp.28–9.)
Although in this quotation the artist stresses the structure and underlying dynamic rather than the content of the gatherings, it is noteworthy that many of the episodes are right-wing and nationalistic in tone. Zmijewski has reflected on this aspect of the work and the implications of a cultural shift towards political conservatism in the west:
Shortly after all of these journeys I was thinking that Europe has made a turn to the extreme right – all of these symbols, slogans, the militancy, the reactionary, and obscurantism appear in excess. This overshadows the existence of demonstrations which demand social rights and social equality, which are anti-war protests, et cetera. It was interesting to see how this is translated into political spectacle – how these murderous feelings are transferred to a symbolical level and safely performed there.
(Zmijewski in Maren LĂŒbbke-Tidow 2009, p.25.)
Zmijewski’s critical stance is reflected in the work’s title, which is intended as an ironic provocation:
I chose the title ‘Democracies’ because it’s a lie: They are not all democracies. Are the Autonomous Palestinian Territories a democratic country? I do not think so – they are occupied and fully dependent on Israel (are under its military control, in fact) and on the international community. Is Israel democratic? Maybe, but only if we add the term ‘colonial’ – it’s a ‘colonial democracy’, or maybe a ‘military democracy’. Northern Ireland is still under British occupation. Of course it is a democracy, but an occupied territory. Maybe Poland is a democratic country? Sure it is, but in this democracy women do not share equal rights with men. One of the basic democratic rules is to observe the equality of citizens. That’s why I described these movies as ‘Democracies’ – because of the lack of democracy in these countries.
(Zmijewski in Maren LĂŒbbke-Tidow 2009, pp.23–4.)
Most of the episodes in Democracies depict contemporary events as they unfold; however two of the twenty films feature re-enactments of battles of the 1944 Warsaw Uprising staged by local history enthusiasts. These segments typify the nationalistic tenor of much of the work. They also resonate with Jeremy Deller’s The Battle of Orgreave Archive (An Injury to One is an Injury to All) 2004 (Tate T12185), the central component of which is a feature-length film documenting a re-enactment of the 1984 clash between protesting miners and police.
The presentation of relatively ‘straight’ documentary footage in Democracies contrasts with more structured scenarios typical of Zmijewski’s earlier practice. In many of his earlier works the artist manufactured situations in which people were asked to participate, often unwittingly exposing their own prejudices and the structures of control that underlie human relations. In his 2005 work Repetition he restaged Philip Zimbardo’s infamous 1971 Stanford prison experiment, casting members of the public as prisoners and guards then filming the results as the social experiment descended into sadism and chaos. Although Democracies adopts a different approach, Zmijewski’s enduring interest in structures of power remains evident in the work’s depiction of group psychology in action.

Learn more about the many educational paths that might help you develop your leadership skills
A person's voice might be thought of as a continual beacon drawing attention to the speaker. Now that everyone is paying attention to you, what should you do? You have so much attention drawn to you because you don't care what other people think.
Body: Someone on the team has to be comfortable and articulate in public speaking. Speaking in front of an audience is a fantastic opportunity to highlight your unique qualities. This will attract a lot of attention, and some people could feel uncomfortable with it. It's normal that many people struggle to find words to describe how they're feeling. Those who really stand out, however, often fret about how the public perceives them because of their deviation from the norm. This is a crucial fact to keep in mind while considering how to best instruct leaders in the art of communication.
You have incredible motivation and dedication.
Over the years, you've amassed a wealth of experience, insight, and wisdom that has propelled you to the pinnacle of your field. The information provided here might serve as a springboard for your own investigation. To be taken seriously by your audience, you must provide supporting proof and statistics for your statements. To be taken seriously, you need to demonstrate more than simply the ability to express an opinion. For Leadership Communication Coaching it works fine.
A touch of melancholy was thrown in as an afterthought for your entertainment.
When used appropriately and in moderation, emotional power may be as effective as using your brain a million times faster. So, don't hold back if you want to make your emotions known on a topic about which you care deeply. When giving a presentation, it's normal to worry about creating an impression and making the most of your time in front of the crowd.
There are a few anecdotes and quotations interspersed throughout the book for flavour.
Text and images in a presentation work well together to maintain attention. This is not just a lucky happenstance but rather the result of thoughtful observation. Most people give far more weight to hard facts than they do to subjective perceptions. Therefore, a lot of people reading this will have a hard time following up. Boredom brought on by information overload may lead to absentmindedness or sneaky actions like gambling or shopping. Selection of the Business Communication Skills Training is essential here.
After then, the narrator says, "Put them to sleep."
People often misinterpret the phrase "tell them what you're going to say next, then tell them what you've already said," but this is not what it means.
This method may be used to enhance a location's visual appeal.
Presenters may successfully appeal to their audience's emotions by using narrative strategies like tales, anecdotes, and spells. Keep a notebook of inspirational sayings and rituals, even if it's just for yourself. Perhaps this will prove helpful in the future. Only focused concentration, not casual or distracted attention, is required. Stories and news may be shared in a variety of settings, including television, newspapers, the internet, workplace water coolers, and even birthday parties. The Communication Skills Training Sg is essential here.
To ensure that your presentation is as effective as possible, consider the following four points:
You really must give a presentation on this subject. Where are these rumours coming from, anyway? Think about who will be reading this and what topics they would be interested in.

Easy Leadership That Anyone Can Follow
Becoming a great leader in the business world involves a lot of hard work
A good amount of dedication and the development of important skills. While we cannot provide you with the ability to complete challenging tasks or give you the motivation to succeed, we can educate you about the skills necessary to become the leader you want to be. Continue reading and learn more about what it takes to get to greatness.
Make sure you hire people who will advance your business goals. Preferably, this means people who are smart, can solve problems, and most importantly, have some experience in your business field. Make sure you check references and do proper research so that you don’t get scammed by someone with a fake resume and a silver tongue.
When you’re a leader, make sure that you team with people. You must remember that you are a part of a team. Individual voices can contribute to and better an entire project, so try bringing others together to collaborate. Leaders are never alone. Do your best to invite as many perspectives into the discussion and decision-making processes as you can.
Say thank you to your employees. Many studies have been done on the power of a thanks given from a manager to his or her employees. It increases productivity, often by a lot. Just a little graciousness really can help extend your power as a leader, so be active about it.
When a leader is setting goals, the goals should be realistic. We all want things done faster in life, but sometimes things take time. If you rush your team, you may find that there are more mistakes, unhappy team members, and a very stressful environment. Make sure that your goals can be achieved in the amount of time that you’ve allotted.
Do what’s necessary to promote group unity. This means making sure that everyone knows what tasks they need to perform and what everyone else is doing. This prevents duplicate effort. Also, make sure each member of the team keeps the others up to date on progress. This makes budget and time overruns less likely.
Express a vision for the company. Great leaders differentiate themselves from great managers because of vision. They see where the company needs to be 5 years, 10 years and 20 years down the road. If you’ve got the vision, share it with your employees. Make them part of the team that’ll help get you there.
It is not effective to be a leader if you are not able to set a good example for others. You cannot sit around giving out orders and expecting people to follow them if they don’t have respect for you. The best way to earn respect is being a positive role model to others.
Make things easy for people to understand. If you can take difficult topics and talk about them in a way that everyone can understand, that will be a benefit to you as a leader. People need someone who can explain things, and if you can do that in a way that doesn’t make them feel inferior, they will love you.
Continue to learn new leadership techniques and innovative methods for conducting business. Continuing your education will give you a better understanding of how your younger employees think. A new perspective will help you improve your leadership style, while also giving you the tools to be competitive in an ever-changing market.
Learn to take responsibility for things, even those that are not your fault. A great leader understands that when the team fails, everyone fails. Instead of placing blame on individual members of the team, a great leader will know that something about the way he leads the team may be the reason for the failure.
Talk to other leaders. This can be a great way to get feedback on ideas and to figure out how best to address concerns and problems. This will also give you time to observe other leadership styles and techniques. You may find something useful, or you might inspire someone else.
Being a good leader doesn’t just mean that you lead others. You also need the skills to lead yourself. Leading yourself by staying motivated and focused can also set a great example for others. Make an effort to become a working part of your organization and not just delegate tasks to others.
Do not push people on your team too hard, since this can result in doing the opposite of what you are trying to accomplish. Instead of giving them motivation to do more work, it may make them feel demoralized. In turn, they will lose a lot of respect for you.
Leadership involves work, skill and education. Here we have provided you with that education. Take the advice we have given to you, and use it to enhance your leadership abilities. If you do this effectively, by putting in the work and dedication, you have the ability to soar to greatness and achieve a lot in the business world.
