Inspiring Leadership

Ike

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

You sometimes can get people to do what you want in the short-term with aggressive behavior. However, if you want to remain in your leadership role in the long-term, it works out better if your people don’t hate you.

Build consensus. Show respect and appreciation for your team members. Communicate effectively. Listen to your people.
