Your In the workplace, Leadership Is Everyone's Business! And employees (managers and non-managers) who display Leadership Skills are considered the most valuable. Accordingly, these employees receive greater recognition and get more high-profile assignments. That's because they know how to maximize their individual performance while simultaneously influencing others to do their best. This requires an ability to positively encourage others to strive for higher levels of commitment and performance. Employees who possess this leadership skill are called Encouraging Leaders. These employees understand that in order to establish successful working relationships, they must recognize the assets and potential of others. When people feel valued, they have a greater sense of responsibility; display a higher level of commitment to achieving organizational goals; and are more productive. Whether you hold the title of CEO, Manager, Supervisor, or Receptionist, remember that Leadership Encouragement Skills are the most critical for successfully working with others. Use the following exercise to evaluate and build your Leadership Encouragement skills: 1. Think of the best boss or mentor you encountered during your work or school years. List the things your boss or mentor did to make you feel a sense of value, as well as develop your responsibility, productivity, and commitment. 2. What do you regularly do to demonstrate your responsibility, productivity, and commitment to others and your organization? 3. What do you regularly do to make others feel a sense of value and enhance their willingness to demonstrate a high level of responsibility, productivity, and commitment when working with you? ~~<<>>~~ PERMISSION TO REPRINT: Articles, Tips, and Tools can be reprinted in company newsletters or magazines.
