LEADERS SHOW

APPRECIATION

Don’t just internalize appreciation

for contributors. Show it! Praise

them. Give extra vacation time. Say

thank you.

Employ the law of reciprocity. Give

more, and you'll naturally receive

more.

"Make it a habit to tell people thankyou. To express your appreciation,sincerely and without the expectationof anything in return. Truly appreciatethose around you, and you'll soon findmany others around you."

Ralph Marston

LEADERS

EMPOWER

Remove organizational and

administrative burdens that hinder

progress.

Provide contributors with what they

need to succeed, such as resources

and decision-making power. Move

mountains if you have to.

"As we look ahead into the nextcentury, leaders will be those whoempower others."

Bill Gates

LEADERS ACT AS

PARTNERS

Forget the org chart. Contributors

aren't subordinates; they're your

partners.

View them as equals. Treat them as

equals. Partner to achieve your

vision as a leader.

"Unity is strength... when there isteamwork and collaboration,wonderful things can beachieved."

Mattie Stepanek

LEADERS

LISTEN

To lead, you must receive more

information than you send; this is

how you improve.

Thus, great leaders listen more than

they talk.

"I remind myself every morning:Nothing I say this day will teachme anything. So if I'm going tolearn, I must do it by listening."

Larry King

CONNECTING THE

PIECES

The takeaway: Leaders focus more

on others than on themselves.

Instill these four characteristics in

your everyday outlook to become a

better leader and achieve your vision

with the help of engaged

contributors.

"People buy into the leader beforethey buy into the vision."

John C. Maxwell
