Be a Better Business Leader
I ran across these quick but valuable leadership lessons and I wanted to share them with you:
Communicate all you know.
Rather than holding everything you’ve learned close to the vest, help build up those around you and help them avoid some of the mistakes you’ve made. Making those around you better helps everyone. As they say, “a rising tide lifts all boats.”
Love your work.
If you love your work, you’ll be out there every day trying to do it the best you possibly can, and pretty soon everybody around will catch the passion from you – like a fever. Pass that passion onto your employees and your business will thrive.
Speak to people.
Make the first move to speak to people coming toward you. If you adopt the idea of never meeting a stranger and greeting everyone with a warm reception, you might be pleasantly surprised by the opportunities that open to you.
I hope to see you at tomorrow's luncheon! We are, as always,
better (and stronger) together
