Inspiring Leadership
"Ninety percent of leadership is the ability to communicate something people want." — Dianne Feinstein
If you are in a position of authority, you can tell people what to do and they will do it. They will do it because they want a paycheck—it’s entirely transactional. And if someone else offers them a bigger paycheck, they will leave without a backward glance.
Effective leaders build a community. They help their people grow into the professionals that they want to become. They show people that they matter, and that their efforts matter. They make the workplace an environment in which the people feel respected and valued and appreciated.
People NEED the paycheck. But good leaders make sure that their people FEEL good about themselves and what they are doing while they earn it.
