Your Real Goal
- Your goal is to become a transformational leader,
- the kind of person that motivates and inspires people to perform at levels far beyond anything that they had previously thought possible.
- Transformational leaders empower others by keeping them "in the know,"
- People want and need to feel that they are "insiders," that they are aware of everything that is going on.
- Nothing demoralizes people more then not knowing whats going on in the company.
- One empowering behavior practiced by transformational leaders is regular feedback on performance and results.
- People need to know how they're doing so they can improve if performance is below standards and so that they can be proud of their successes.
- The more feedback you give to people, the better it is, as long as the feedback is objective and not critical.
- Ken Blanchard says that, "Positive feedback is the breakfast of champions."
- Be generous with your praise and encouragement.
- people are the only asset that can be made to appreciate in value by giving them warmth, respect, approval and by creating a climate of positive expectations.
Create An Exciting Future
- What companies and countries and institutions need today are courageous visionary leaders who are committed to creating an exciting future for themselves and others.
- You have within yourself the ability to evolve and grow as a leader and to make a real difference in the world around you.
- the one thing you can know for sure about yourself is that, no matter what you've accomplished up to now, there is far more that you can do.
