Being a leader is hard. What kind of leader you are can make or break the company for which you work. So, what is the secret to being a good leader? Show your employees that you care. They won’t care about your leadership if you don’t first show them that you are on their side. This may include offering them perks through the company, or making sure to offer praise whenever possible. If they know that you are on their side, they are more likely to be on your side.
Key Takeaways:
- No one cares how much you know until they first know how much you care about them.
- We’re in charge, and we talk about targets and goals and visions, but our employees don’t care about any of that stuff for very long.
- Our employees don’t really care about what we want them to do until they know how much we care about them. When an employee knows–truly knows–that you care about them, then they care about you.
