If all you do is talk, employees are apt to dismiss your wisdom or completely ignore you. All your motivational slogans and rallying cries will go for nothing. Lead by example. Show how it's done. As a teacher, counselor, coach or manager, when you've been in the trenches, walked the talk, gotten a little banged and bruised yourself, you've earned the right to be taken seriously. You are a veteran and carry the status necessary to command. You don't hide in your office. Sometimes, it is important to walk the factory floor and get out into the field. Get to know your employees, ask for their ideas and understand their concerns. This is how a leader acts. |
