Inspiring Leadership

The power of persuasion

“You don’t lead by hitting people over the head – that’s assault, not leadership.”

~ Dwight D. Eisenhower

Be the kind of leader that people WANT to follow. Appeal to their sense of self-worth, so that being on your team and working toward your objectives is validating to them—they are helpful; they are smart; they are winners; they are valued contributors, etc. Praise achievement and good efforts. Reward success.
