FOOD FOR THOUGHT Leadership lessons from
Millionaire Business Owners
Celebrate accomplishments
Don't be afraid to celebrate your accomplishments. Just celebrate those of others more, recommends Nina Vaca of the Pinnacle Group. With my company, this means that we celebrate even the little accomplishments of others.
Stop talking and start listening
“Leaders who listen are able to create trustworthy relationships that are transparent and breed loyalty. You know the leaders who have their employees' best interests at heart because they truly listen to them,” writes Glenn Llopis, founder of the Glenn Llopis Group.
“As a leader, it's difficult to really know what your employees are thinking about, what's troubling them or how to help them get out of a performance slump -- unless you take the time listen to them.” Llopis adds, “Listening goes well beyond being quiet and giving someone your full attention. It requires you to be aware of body
language, facial expressions, mood, and natural behavioural tendencies. Listening should be a full-time job when you consider the uncertainty embedded in the workplace and the on-going changes taking place.”
They encourage continuous learning
“Learning is the minimum requirement for success in your field,” writes Brian Tracy.
“Information and knowledge on
everything is increasing every day. This means that your knowledge must also increase
to keep up. ”
The best leaders encourage their employees to read, attend workshops, and conferences so that they can get ahead.
