67 WAYS TO BE A CONTAGIOUS LEADER

  

What you do as a leader is extremely important.

Why?

Because you are contagious and everything you do rubs off on those you lead. You serve as the model for how they are supposed to behave.

In fact, leaders have an attitude that others catch; they have skills that others want to catch and they are so often unaware of all the people watching their every move. They watch what you do, even more so than what you say, and it happens without much awareness, almost by accident if you will.

The thing to have that is the most critical for effective leadership is not communication, not coaching skills, not even awareness, but rather it is FOLLOWERS and since that is the case, let’s keep a focus on those folks and make sure that as leaders we are doing what makes the most difference to them and that we are doing it on purpose.

Just think, what would you be if you had a leadership title and had no followers? Uh… alone. Not exactly how we picture a leader.

Instead, be a leader of followers on purpose who leads them to achieve a purpose with purpose. By the way, those are the ones who typically have employees who complain less, stay longer and produce more.

The following tips are: 67 WAYS TO BE A CONTAGIOUS LEADER

1. Call employees “those that work WITH you”.

2. Stop calling employees “my employees”, or “my people”
