The Seven Secrets of Inspiring Leaders
Here's the last part of the article i've mentioned in my last post.
5. Invite participation
- Inspiring leaders bring employees, customers and colleagues into the process of building the company or service. This is especially important when trying to motivate young people. The command and control way of managing is over. Instead, today’s managers solicit input, listen for feedback and actively incorporate what they hear. Employees want more than paycheck. They want to know that their work is adding up to something meaningful.
6. Reinforce an optimistic outlook.
- Inspiring leaders speak of a better future. Extraordinary leaders throughout history have been more optimistic than the average person like when Winston Churchill exuded hope and confidence in the darkest days of World War II. So speak in positive, optimistic language and be a beacon of hope.
7. Encourage Potential.
- Inspiring leaders praise people and invest in them emotionally. Richard Branson has said that when you praise people, they flourish; criticize them and they shrivel up. Praise is the easiest way to connect with people because when people receive genuine praise, their doubt diminishes and their spirits soar. Encourage people, and they’ll walk through walls for you.
By inspiring your listeners, you become the kind of person people want to be around. Customers will want to do business with you, employees will want to work with you, and investors will want to back you.
All in all, it all starts with mastering these seven secrets.
