Establish a closer relationship with people by expressing your highest appreciation for their contribution to your transformation.

The Romanian comedy actor Puiu Călinescu was invited a long time ago to the television show “Profesioniştii”. The director of the show, Eugenia Vodă, asked him if he remembers a more special moment in his acting life that really marked him. Puiu Călinescu answered in a warm and pleasant tone:

- I remember a show I played at hospital no. 9. I entertained patients and doctors. And I will not forget, a simple woman came to me and said: “Mr. Puiu. Thank you for everything you have done for me. If you come to us twice a week, I’m not taking any medicine.”

And then Puiu Călinescu told the presenter: “This for me was… better than an Oscar, better than an artist of the people… I felt like a surgeon doing a surgery and saving a life…”

How do you establish a closer connection with people: through a show meant to impress, or through an “emotional content” capable of promoting values ​​such as: “must you always believe that you are experiencing something much more special than you think”?

The concept of relational intelligence has preoccupied me for a long time and for this reason I will dwell more on it in this article. Because, as someone rightly points out, we are born as a result of a relationship, we develop in a system of relationships and we are constantly in a relationship, so I think it is important to discover and cultivate the resources necessary for healthy relationships.

Developing your leadership should start with establishing relationships and working with people, but this can be more easily accomplished through a display, a revelation of those qualities and traits that make you unique – something that helps you impose yourself in their minds and souls. These qualities and traits that determine your attitude towards other people, as well as their attitude towards you, are the most relevant for your recognition, for your ascension, generating that tiny spark that brings you closer to excellence.

Are you in a position to stand up for the good of the people? Leadership is therefore conditioned by the selection of those qualities and traits that give you added value, expanding your own universe, making you better understand the reality of your own thoughts and feelings, your own values, your own orientations and trends in people.

Can you prove your spiritual nobility only by the way you value the content of your personality, as a recognition of the truth on which your spiritual power rests?

Let us remember the actor Puiu Călinescu, whose whole existence was filled with the feeling of good done to others, when the poor sick woman evaluated his nobility of soul and strengthened his conviction that nothing is higher than man, that nothing better satisfies the thirst for self-knowledge than the way you value the content of your own personality. This is the best medicine that anyone can give you, as a revival of your whole feeling, a recognition of the truth on which your spiritual power rests.

All your qualities, in order to be appreciated and supported by other people, must be doubled by the position of defender of their good. What is your basic need? Defining your path as clearly as possible in life – initiating those facts, those processes that come to support them, or minimizing your development potential by acting only for the purpose of “maintaining” and maximizing your own benefits?

Nobility is the seed of your success; it allows you to initiate those actions that guarantee the achievement of leadership performance standards based on sound principles. And as I have said so many times, nobility can only be discovered through interaction, as a result of the way you are treated or the way you treat others. By spicing up people’s lives with as much warmth as possible, by striving to give them a new breath of life, a new inner radiance, you will be able to better develop that area with growth potential called: interaction.

Leadership has as its first characterization the boundless nobility that you can discover only through interaction, as a result of the way you are treated or the way you treat others.

Nobility, as someone wrote on “cristiantube.net”, you do not recognize until you notice the superiority, generosity, warmth and kindness that make the content of the answer received. And when, instead, that person does not ask you for anything, then you feel overwhelmed and indebted to be able to somehow pay for it, all that remains is to appreciate the quality and charm of its character.

“After such an experience, you become better, the world seems to be beautified by the wealth discovered, perception on relating changes and you start to want to have that character trait and imprint it on others. And, behaving with nobility towards others, you highlight wonderful treasures deeply embedded in your God-designed genetic code.”

What are those qualities and traits that give you added value? Do you care about equipping your leadership with those benefits that are beneficial to others? Is your leadership based on sound principles? Do you spice up people’s lives with as much warmth as possible?

The highest appreciation for people’s contribution to your transformation is related to that attitude, a superior moral trait that you show when no one applauds you, when no one believes in you.

The Seed Of Success can be found very well in this quote: “Most precious are those noble deeds which remain unknown.”

The meeting of actor Puiu Călinescu with the hospital patients, strengthened his conviction that the only way to reach his full potential as a man of influence, as a human being destined to offer a large amount of affection, is to propel people to a higher level of faith and spiritual development, helping them to attain an ideal state of existence. This is the belief behind the change of any leader.

Do you feel the need to support the spiritual rebirth of people?

A permanent research of the self allows self-knowledge and logically, through reasoning you can find methods to remove the negative aspects that are a brake on personal development. Through this process of self-knowledge, you will be able to get to know others. Therefore, the most important thing is to see one’s soul through the soul, and to know others’ souls through that of your own – this is true knowledge (which consists in first knowing one’s self, and others afterwards).
