Leading with a Generous Heart
Invest in your people
Be the kind of leader you yourself would like to follow.
Give your people opportunities to do the fun parts of the job, not just the slog-work.
Mentor and coach to help them become the professionals they aspire to be.
Protect them by having their backs.
Encourage actual work/life balance.
Guide them on a path to the professional success and fulfillment they want within your company.
Invest in your people, and you grow mutual respect and loyalty. It improves retention and motivation. And it makes you feel good about your own professional actions, so that you can look yourself in the eye in the mirror each morning.
