Once again, a great Brainzooming blog post from Mike Brown caught my attention. He had seen a Forbes story about the 13 habits of “exceptionally likable people” and rather than click on the story, he decided to create his list.

What is Anchor Management?
What is “Anchor Management”? Well, there are three positive anchors: being Grounded in Calm Focus, Grounded in Thoughtful Response, and Grounded in Regard for Others. Conversely, there are three negative anchors: being Grounded by a Lack of Courage, Grounded by a Lack of Initiative, and Grounded by a Lack of Perseverance. “Anchor Management” is about […]
Grounded By Lack of Perseverance
What does it mean to be “grounded by lack of perseverance”? Most people give up too easily, too quickly. Most things take time. Remember the saying, “Good things come to those that wait”? The key is to have an informed opinion on how long it will take for something to reach critical mass, and to […]

Grounded In Regard for Others
What does it mean to be Grounded In Regard for Others? Well, it is this simple: don’t be selfish! We live in an age that seems to be all about “me, me, me.” Depending on when you were born, and how grounded those around you were when you were growing up, your idea of regard […]
Grounded In Thoughtful Response
What does it mean to be Grounded In Thoughtful Response? Well, being thoughtful means that you are thinking about the problem and internally brainstorming potential solutions. It means that you are paying attention to other variables, like what is happening around you, non-verbal clues, and your past experiences and interactions with the person or situation. […]
