INSPIRE OTHERS
"Credible leadership hinges upon a leader's personal dedication
to the goal and his or her ability to inspire coworkers.
- Recognize those who catch the vision, and thank them publicly.
- Do not confuse sound and fury with productivity. Your best
associates might not be those who talk the most.
- When your organization achieves a goal, let coworkers know,
and communicate how your associates contributed.
- Ask individuals about their goals and vision for their jobs.
Then look for ways to place each person where he or she can
most likely succeed.
- Set an example by pulling with those who are struggling
through one project or another.
- Maintain a professional attitude, even when enjoying
lighter moments."
