Hope

“A leader is a dealer in hope.” ~ Napoleon Bonaparte

If you want people to follow you, give them something to believe in.

Share a vision of how your plans will make their lives better. Share your vision for what success will be. Share your vision for how your solutions will solve problems.

A lack of hope leads to demotivation. If you or one of your team members is demotivated, it may be due to a loss of hope. Help them (or yourself) find something good in the future, even if it is a silver lining on a really big cloud.
