Relentless Communication In the book, it is stated that leaders should “ relentlessly communicate their values and sense of mission ”. This means that leaders have to constantly impress upon their team the personal traits these leaders have that qualify them to lead the team. This is a method that leaders use to ensure that team members know that they belong. They understand what their leader stood for , and they know that they can trust him/her . When a leader is trusted, people are free from fear and more assured , and this makes them more productive as they spend more time on tasks that actually matters to the company.

Relentless Communication Let’s look at a few examples of how leaders constantly reinforce messages: Adolf Hitler: He showed himself as a veteran of WWI and also a saviour who will bring Germany out of the economic crisis. Barack Obama: He reinforced the Idea that he can be trusted through stating his position on various political issues . A slogan of his “Yes We Can” also helps send a message that he will bring change to America.

Defining the Cause It is also stated that leaders should “ define the cause for their people and tell them where they fit in”. This meant that leaders have to communicate the objectives that have to be fulfilled clearly to their members, and make them feel like they belong. This is yet another way through which leaders ensure that their team members recognize why they are in a team. This helps them to understand the aims that they as a team have to achieve.

Defining the Cause One of the ways through which corporations make their employees feel that they belong is through the uniforms . This helps build a greater sense of belonging to the company, and make them aware of the role they have to play as an employee. Another way is through the use of meetings to define the objectives to be met or assignments to be done. This effectively presents the objectives to the employee in a clear manner . Also, employees will have to be aware of the job scope prior to applying for a position. This helps them understand the unique role they play in an organisation or team.
