STRATEGY IS THE PERCEPTION

According to Jack Trout in his book Trout on Strategy, one of the core of the strategy is the perception. Company a competitive advantage, in fact are the hallmarks of communication. So the problem is a problem in competing in the communication. Positioning strategy is in fact the communication strategy. Advertising is a form of communication, from the standpoint of recipients, built in a low appreciation. If you succeed in the advertising, you're likely to succeed in business, religion, political or lainyang activity requires mass communication. Positioning is a concept that changed the authenticity of the ad, a simple concept that makes people face difficulties in understanding its power. Positioning starts with a product, goods, services, companies, or people. But positioning is not something you do with the product. Positioning is something you do to prospective customers mind, which is placing the product on the prospect's mind. So a mistake when calling this concept as "product positioning". Just as you do something about the physical product. Was also wrong if the positioning does not involve a change. But these changes are changes to the name, price and packaging of the product rather than as a whole.

Basically there are changes that will be performances with the aim of ensuring a more valuable position in the perception of potential customers. Merupakah also positioning the first body of thought that are designed to hold a hearing problem in our society who flooded information. The only defense a person has in society is a very simple idea. So the best approach to be taken someone in the community is a simple message.

"The leader is the first creation that determines success and failure of the organization" said Steven R. Covey. Thus the leader is the key to organizational success. Leadership review of an effective leader and what distinguishes a leader and not a leader. Definitions vary widely leaders and very much. We take the definition given by Abraham Zaleznik, and John Kotter

Abraham Zaleznik of Harvard Business School, argues that leaders and managers is very different. They differ in motiv, personal history, ways of thinking and acting. Managers tend to take the attitude of impersonal, no not passive, for the purpose, while the leader took personal attitudes and activism toward the goal. Managers tend to view work as a process that allows, include a combination of people and ideas interact to define strategies and make decisions. Leaders work from a position of high risk, often temperamental they are looking for risk and danger, especially if the opportunities and rewards appear high. Managers prefer to work with people, they avoid activities alone because the activity makes them anxious. They relate to people according to the role they play in a sequence of events or in the decision making process. Leaders who consider the idea, associated with people in a more intuitive and empathetic.

John Kotter argues that leadership is different from management. Manajamen it comes to complexity, to produce order and consistency Tib by drafting formal plans, designing a strict organization and monitor the results through benchmarking with the plan. Leadership on the other hand, it comes to cope with change. Leaders establish direction by developing a vision for the future, able to synergize with the people communicate and inspire them to overcome obstacles
