I am still enjoying the "nuggets of the book "40 Leadership Nuggets of Wisdom to Live By ~ by Stephan Nellas
The only motivation of leading is so that others will be blessed and become leaders themselves. ~ Stephen Nellas
You see it all the time, people that are leaders and no one likes them or respects them. These leaders generally don't go anywhere. They are stuck in the same spot forever. They have employees come and go and they think its because they can't find "good" people.
Reality is, they are not a good leader. A leader wants to lead people so that they can learn and grow and eventually lead others. A good leader is likable and personable and makes you feel like they care. If you can't relate to your team, your team will never be a strong one. A leader wants his team to aspire to be like him and be remembered no matter where they go.
Are you a leader? Are you likable? Do you have a personal relationship with each member of your team. It is true that there is a line to stay clear of with your team, but you need to know them, know about their families, and know what they like to do for fun outside of work.
If you are to be successful in leading your team has to feel like they can come to you in a time of need and that you will listen. Does your team trust you or fear you? Leading by fear will never work. Your team members are people with their own individual lives outside of the work place. If you can find a way to respect them individually, they will respect you as well.
Respect fosters trust and accountability. If your team feels you are committed to them succeeding, they will feel a sense of loyalty and they will want to follow you until you are ready to nurture them into their own leadership.
You will run into the few people that just want to take from you, but if you are a listener and you are watching your team, you will see it from the start and stop it. People will be who you want them to be if you are willing to nurture that relationship. Be the mirror for them to watch and grow.
The success in leadership is in watching your team succeed and grow and build their own team.
