Leadership Essentials Series - So Here’s What To Do!
Last time I gave you a list
of 10 biggest mistakes that bosses make, here's a list of
things you can do to actually create a positive, energized
work environment.
I would love to hear from all of you, let me know what your
boss does, or maybe a boss from the past, what they’ve
done within your department that really made your workplace
a real pleasure.
For now here’s a short list, a few ideas with
very brief explanations.
- Communicate a Vision –Vision is
absolutely key in successful leadership. Whether you are
at home or at work having everybody on the same page working
towards the same goal is after all the objective. If you
don’t create vision you’ll have everybody all
over the place as far as what they are trying to accomplish.
Your job is to create a picture for your staff (if at home,
for your children) a picture so clear that they can hear,
see and smell, absolutely feel how wonderful having the
goal will be. The final part of creating vision is giving
them a whole bunch of reasons why they should go for it.
- Foster Trust – They only way to
do this is for you to first be trustworthy. Are you trustworthy?
Do you do what you say you will do, when you will do it,
how you will do it? Do you inform people of decisions as
early as possible? Do you let them know when things have
changed? The questions around trustworthiness are limitless…go
on a self-discovery mission and discover for yourself if
you are trustworthy.
- Express real appreciation - Not that
“ I learned in a workshop I should say thank you “
crap. Really appreciate the fact that your staff, the people
that you work with do a really good job. Realize that they
don’t have to – many don’t.
Sincere praise is one of the most meaningful forms of inspiration
and appreciation that can be offered from one human being
to another. If you haven’t been comfortable with being
grateful in the past, well I suggest you start getting comfortable
with what is uncomfortable… then it won’t be
uncomfortable anymore ?
That’s it for today folks, remember to always be compassionate
good boss’s aren’t born, they’re taught!
Until
next time
For Your Success
Be Well,
