Temperaments:Identifying the Sanguine

Hi there, thank you for wanting to know more about your temperament , in my last post i defined what Temperament is, and the differences in temperaments. Today , i would love to talk about the sanguine , an interesting Temperament type, before proceeding let me mention that no one Temperament is better than another, each contains strengths and richness, yet each is fraught with its own weakness and dangers So whether you are a Sanguine, Phlegmatic,Choleric or Melancholic ,do not feel said when you get to know your weakness.


Today, we would be looking at the Sanguine, this is an Interesting Temperament as I posses a little percentage of it. Now the Sanguine:

Who is a Sanguine?

Have you ever wondered what this kind of Temperament is ? Sanguine is the warm, buoyant ,lively and fun loving temperament.The sanguine is receptive by nature, and external impressions easily find their way to his heart,where they readily cause an outburst of response.Feelings rather than reflective thoughts predominate to form his decisions.
Sanguine’s have an unusual capacity to enjoy himself and usually passes his hearty outgoing nature,when he comes to room of people, he has a tendency to lift the spirits of everyone present by his exuberant flow of conversation. Because of his out going nature and full of life,a sanguine might forget his resolutions,appointments and obligations.Invite a sanguine to an important meeting and you would have to remind him, every second so as not to forget.A sanguine is talkative by nature and would converse with friends all day till he remembers what he was suppose to be doing.
Sanguine s do not like solitude but enjoys people and is at his best surrounded by friends, where he is the life of the party, as already mentioned a sanguine is never at loss for words, though he often speaks without thinking.

Careers of Sanguine ,What is Best for A Sanguine?

If you care to know your temperaments say a lot about the kind of careers you should choose, if you choose a career meant for melancholics you would never enjoy, every single minute of work.
So what career do you think a sanguine would be best in?
They usually make excellent salespeople and more than other groups seem attracted to that profession.
If you ever want to watch a sanguine in action ,just visit your local used-car dealer.About two-thirds of his sales reps seem to be Sanguine s because it involves talking to convince a prospective car buyer.
In addition to being good at sales,Sanguines make excellent actors,entertainers and outstanding master of ceremonies and auctioneers, never make the mistake of inviting a melancholic to be the MC of  your wedding ceremony he would drive all the visitors out, but a sanguine would make the laugh till thy loose their teeth  and sometimes  they make excellent leaders ( if properly blended with another temperament).
Now that you have identified your temperament , get to know that every temperaments have strengths as well as weakness work on the positives and overcome the negatives.
i would be posting on the other types of temperaments so please keep inform.


In conclusion,Sanguines should choose careers that allow them extensive exposure to people , since their chief contribution to life lies in making other people happy.

Temperaments

Distinction between Temperament, Character and Personality.
For years the word Temperaments have been misused and misunderstood, an today i would love us to learn the distinction between Temperament, Character and Personality.Well, believe it or not  your temperament can help you in the type of careers you should choose,i would therefore identify  to you  the various types of temperaments we have and get to help you know which one you are.
Some are Sanguines, others are Phlegmatic, each Temperament have its own strength and weakness and is my job to let you know which one you are.
But before ,getting to know the various types of Temperaments , we would distinguish between Temperament ,.Character and Personality, don't be confuse they are all not the same.


This article would help you know more about Temperaments and where it originate from

What is Temperament?

Temperament is the combination of inborn traits that subconsciously affect all our behavior.These traits, which are passed on by our genes, are based on hereditary factors and are arranged at the time of conception. Six people contribute through the gene pool to makeup of every baby; two parents and four grandparents.The alignment of temperament traits, though unseen, is just as predictable as the color of eyes,hair or the size of the body.
It is a person’s temperament that makes that person outgoing and extrovertish or shy and introvert.
It is temperament that makes some people art or music enthusiasts, while others are sports or industry minded.


Now that you know temperaments are inborn traits let us go further to explain what Character is

Character

what then is Character, you may ask, is your character different from your Temperaments?
Character is the real you.It is the results of the natural temperament modified by childhood training,education and basic attitudes, beliefs, principles, and motivations.It is sometimes referred to as “the soul “ of a person ,which is made up of the mind, emotions and will.Character combines your temperament, training, moral values,beliefs and habit patterns.It is what you do when you have the freedom to do what you want to do,an expression of yourself.To sum it up, it is what you do when there is no one else around 
.
If character is what you do when there is no one else around you, what then is your Personality?

Personality

Now the final quest is to define what personality is
Personality is the outward expression of oneself,which may or may not be the same as a person’s character,depending on how genuine that person is. Often personality is a pleasing facade for an unpleasant or weak character.Many are acting a part today on the basis of what they think they should be as a person,rather than what they really are.


In summary, temperament is the combination of traits we were born with; character is our “civilized” temperament and personality is the face we show to others.
Take a journey with me as we explore the Sanguine a very fine Temperament.

Three Kinds of Leaders

After my experience and talk with great leaders on  the act of Leadership, i feel very inspired to help my readers know more about leadership, as it has already being said,"Everthing rises and falls on leadership" and because everyday that passes by is 24 hours of opportunity you would never get again, you are making it a habit to cultivate your leadership potentials , so as  to make every day a day of inspirational leadership. 
Well, if you read my article  on what leadership is, you may have noticed leadership is not position but influence,it all about making impact in the corner you are.
Today, i would like us to learn the Three main kinds of leadership that exist, you will therefore have the choice to choose what leadership type is best for you.

Leadership comes in different shapes and sizes, just as there are so many kinds of shoes in the market place,you choose what fits you best,If you are already a leader whether in the church,school or work place ,this article would help define the kind of leader you are.
I have given some characteristics common to all the kinds of leadership, examine which of them you are,and or choose the one you would like to be.

DESTRUCTIVE LEADERS:The first kind of leaders i would like to talk about is the destructive type,let us look as some of the traits of this kind of leaders

1. They lead to satisfy themselves, they are in position, or authority because of what they can get ,and not for the love of their followers.
2. They destroy what has already been done if they would not share in the glory,their common saying is "If i would not be appreciated for it, i won't be part of it"
3. They believe in Position before function, for them, give them the Position and titles then they would function, but a true mark of leadership is not is position but in functionality, do not wait for a title before giving a helping hand.
4. They use their Position to destroy others, is it a common trait,? They always use treats ,"You do not know who I am" they say, if you are found of using these words you are destructive leader
   

Hope you are not a destructive type, let us now look at the managerial Leader,

MANAGERIAL LEADERS:

1. This people are good care takers but lack the courage and vision to chart new path,they would always ensure things are kept in order and remain as they were before ,they came around
2. They will not challenge the status quo, what ever was being done in the past should remain the same, there is no need to change it , or bring about innovation in the way things are done, for fear of being criticized
3. They keep on doing the same thing the same way with the same results in the name of keeping tradition
4. They are involved in a lot of activity but low productivity, you will see them every where but never yielding any positive results
5. They have a lot of movement but no monument, in effect they do not make any impart.

I am not sure you goal is to be a managerial leader although hundreds of leaders are, look  for the best in all things

TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERS: I once said to group of students in one of my interactions with them "Education is how you use what you have stored to make life a better place"

That is one of the traits of transformational leaders, now lets look at the others:

1. They impact and transform generations: they believe people are looking up to them to make a change in the world and so put in all their best to live a legacy to the unborn leaders, can you identify one of such people?
2. They live for others and not themselves; as have been said leadership is the ability to empower others, as a transformational leader, they wont to transfer their skills and abilities to others to continue from where they left off.
3. They never leave people they way they are,they always make sure to leave an indelible mark on you ,once they have finished with you.
4. Their works lives beyond them:leaving a legacy, a true mark of a transformational leader, they always make an impact every where they find themselves,just look at the good things in this world ,it was all done by transformational leaders.

We live in a very fast changing world that has the habit of making room for the man whose words and actions show that he knows where he is going, now that you have taking a giant step to be a leader, choose which type you want to be, i suggest you choose the right one.

VISION DEVELOPMENT CHECK LIST

In developing the vision you should put some checklist in place,here are some checklist for you;
A true vision should not be selfish and self accomplishing, it should encompass your family,community, and the country.
A true vision should have a genuine personal motivation – let your vision motivate you not because you overhead someone talk about that vision ,you want it to be yours.Hence the vision should answer these questions:

Why do I want to do what I want to do?
Can I accomplish my vision and still have integrity?
Now that you have understood what your vision is ,ask yourself where you want to be in 5,10,15 years time and jot down your ideas and continue to think thorough.

Emmanuel F. Kumah:How to be Creative

Enhancing Creativity

 Have you ever wondered why others are tagged creative and others just follow the steps of creative people?
Well you are not alone, creativity has become one of the most sort after skills in the 21st century and creative individuals always stand out from the crowds despite the challenging circumstances.
Today, i have taken time to write about how individuals can increase their creativity as i receive various comments from my friends on how come am so creative ,and to help them develop their creative ability.

WHAT IS CREATIVITY?

To create means to bring out something new or to bring into  the existence the formless or void. God in his infinite wisdom created the world by his words and he has induced that creative ability in us to make the world a better place.

Creativity is simply, finding new or improved ways of doing something.

For instance, a low-income family devises a plan to send their son to a leading university in the world.
A tomato seller find out ways to increase the number of his customers in a competitive environment, thus creative thinking.
Fortunately, most of us do not ask the questions that will keep them thinking. Creativity, is one of the most important ingredient to success and you need to be creative if you want to succeed.
These procedures, will help you enhance your creativity.

How to Improve your Creativity

This are the following tips i have you to enhance my creative ability and may prove beneficial to you:

• Eagerly accept the opportunity to do more. It is a compliment to be asked to take on a new responsibility.Unfortunately most of us run away from responsibilities. Accepting greater responsibility on the job or a task makes you stand out, and shows that you’re more valuable. It makes you think and find out how to do a better job and to gain visibility.

• The “How can I Do more?” question. When you ask yourself this question ,creative answers will gradually  come. Some of these answers may be better planning and organization of your present work or taking intelligent short cuts in your routine activities. In a quote , I chanced upon , it says, “the how to do it –always come to the person who believes he can” Asking how to do it, will re-energize your mind to find better and improve method of doing something. Try this; this would be worth millions to you.
• Test your own views in the form of questions. Let other people help you smooth and polish your ideas. Use the What-do-you-think –of this-suggestion approach. Don’t be dogmatic. Don’t announce a fresh idea as if it were handed down on a gold tablet. Do a little informal research first.See how your associates react to it.If you do,chances are you will end up with a better idea.
• Concentrate on what the other person says; listening is more than just keeping your own mouth shut.Listening means letting what is said penetrate your mind.So often people pretend to listen when they are not listening at all.They are just waiting for the other person to pause so they can take over with the talking.Concentrate on what the other person says.Evaluate it .That is how you collect mind food.

So what else do you know about creativity, let me know by dropping me your comment i would be glad to read from you.
