Long gone are the days of overbearing fear-based management. Yeah it still exists, but know that if you’re that type of leader your team secretly despises you and counts the days until your demise…which is usually inevitable. A tad harsh I know, but if you want to stop being the boss that everyone cannot stand I recommend you adopt some “New Thought” start loving life ways fast…Here goes… • Be consistent. So many people in leadership roles are bi-polar. They are sweet as pie when biz is good, but watch out when biz gets tough. You can go from winner to loser real quick. You never know what the day will bring. #Managerfail. Consistency is HUGE. As a leader you set the tone for everything. BE the BELIEVER in the success always and your teams will follow through great biz or crap biz. Believe long enough and success follows it always does… • Focus on your people’s strength only. Don’t try to turn operational Sally Sue into a social salesperson. It’s not her strength. And I can guarantee you she will be miserable for trying. Instead keep “Social Sara” selling and have “Operational Sally Sue” type up the orders. Problem solved. Always, always focus on what they are good at and if they want to learn something new they will let you know. • Be open to questions. Any questions. No question is dumb and if you think so, you’re dumb. A leader thrives on their team learning. Being open to questions allows your team to feel comfortable and safe without the fear of judgment. It also allows for projects to be completed more thoroughly because when in doubt they don’t just do, they ask. • Don’t take life seriously. Seriously. Life is supposed to fun, work is supposed to be fun, make it ALL fun. When you view the world in a fun way, the solutions to all of your problems appear much quicker. Making a BIG hairy deal about problems prevents the solution from coming. Nothing serious is ever going on. Ever. • Be Nice. It takes more courage to be nice than to freak out or fly off the handle. This pertains to everything. Everything is always working out for you, so stop trying to control everything and everyone. • Laugh. Find any and EVERY reason to laugh. Laughing makes the soul sing. • Be honest. If you are in a position you have to carry out something you totally don’t agree with. Be honest. They’ll appreciate knowing it wasn’t your idea and give the ridiculousness credit to the person who deserves it. • Trust and respect is huge. Respect your team enough to give them the benefit of the doubt always. Everyone is doing the best they can so don’t assume the worst. Instead, have a conversation about whatever it is with the intention of moving on from it quickly. • LOVE, LOVE and LOVE. LOVE your team for all they are now AND for all that they are becoming. Be open to loving them, encouraging them and be the ONE to believe in them even before they are able to believe in themselves. |
