Habits of People Who Know How to Bring Out the Best in Others
Your most significant task as a leader does not entails focusing in results; your job is to focus on your employee’s results. Being able to bring out the best in others is a skill that involves patience and faith. Here are six habits that impactful leaders impact when they are holding the reigns.
1.They focus on the other person’s STRENGHTS:
a.Focus on cultivating and optimizing others’ abilities and take the opportunity to take personal investment in others’ goals
2.They Empathize:
a. Engage with active listening that helps them to put themselves in the others’ place
3.They Give Recognition
4.Great leaders know how and when to praise good work. Leaders often worry that praise is unprofessional, but employees feel empowered when their effort is recognized
5.They Connect the Right People:
a.Leaders should be “multipliers” who focus on finding people and talent who know things they don’t. They build a virtuous cycle of attraction, growth, and opportunity.
6.They Don’t Micromanage
a.The best employers implement trust and delegation. A\\The can assign their employees tasks that align with their strengths and goals and allow others to be innovative and self-sufficient
Putting it short, if you think your most important rale as a leader is to write mission statements, set revenue goals, and discipline, you are putting on the wrong “hats”. Shift your focus and make your number one priority the success of your employees, and you will be fascinated by the accomplishments of your team from there!
