Great Leadership in Simple Steps

Today more than ever we are challenged to be good leaders, ethical managers and all around perfect employees.  It’s never easy.  There are quirks and personalities to contend with.  There are two to twenty different opinions on how things should be done and to top it all off, there are the demands of the business that make even listening hard some times. One of the things that I have found in most successful leaders is the way they KEEP IT SIMPLE.  To that end, here are a  few simple tips for you today that will make all of this just a little bit easier;

1. Smile - right now while you read this.  Notice your heart rate drop a point or two.  The heart rate of the people around you will drop as well.

2. Get up, go out the door and tell someone, anyone they are doing a good job, (with real meaning).  Say no more and just come back to your work.  Your mind is clearer and your colleague that you just appreciated is clearer as well.

3.  Listen - just walk around to five people, ask and then listen to what is on their minds today.  You will feel more informed, they will feel more empowered to get things done.

4.  Decide anything that has been lingering out there and needs a decision now.  You will feel better for having started the action and your colleagues will be anxious to make it happen.

5.  Learn, something, anything that will make you a better leader today.  Ask one person how you can improve and then work on that for the week.   You will get better and everyone you lead will be better for it.
