Leadership Message




Here are quotable quotes from top leaders of the company I work for.

1. " Outline a vision. It is important your team understands that they have a mission to fulill, that what they're doing is important to the organization and the greater good of the community and that they can make a difference. Give your team a sense of accomplishment, a sense of pride, making them feel their importance in belonging to the group. Give them compelling reasons why it is so good to be part of the organization."

2. " Your team needs to see you as a human. You are not perfect. Tell them of what's important to you to create trust and bonding between you and the team."

3. "Never put yourself above the team. You are just another person playing a different role. You have to put a demanding level of performance thats consistent and maybe even exceeds the performance of everyone else. Don't brag about it. Remain humble. Stay committed to the goal. Team need to see you as part of the solution."

4. "Don't micromanage. Instead, set clear directions. Set adequate measurements. But give people a lot of lattitude in how they do their job. Let them make the decision and make the job their own. Thats what allow people to grow. Let them stamp their signature."

5. "Avoid the whip and authority. Instead attack the behavior, not the person. Attack the issue. Never berate a person in front of their peers. Praise in public and punish in private.'
