want to truly understand how to take the team to the next
level.
• Reports are only one way to monitor progress .
• A leader who is engaged with his team is able to discover all
sorts of insights.
• Insights could include a fulfillment issue that’s stalling
deliveries or it could be that an employee is experiencing a
personal issue that’s causing a dip in performance.

14. 2) Understand Leadership Styles
• A leader needs the same work done but looks to help
employees find their internal motivation to achieve it.
Where a boss views his employees as subordinates, a
leader views his employees as part of a team and seeks to
empower them so that they exceed minimal expectations.
• Leaders who inspire and empower have a greater ability to
influence the team's actions. Inspiring and empowering build
loyalty and trust, which are positive qualities that create a
strong, productive corporate culture. When everything is based
on performance results without developing loyalty and trust,
team performance is often negatively affected.

15. 3) Adjust Leadership as Needed
• As a business leader, you don’t need to box yourself into
one leadership style.There may be instances in which
being more boss-like is advantageous.
For example, sales numbers are key factors
for your business success, so it is imperative that you address
these numbers in a very black-and-white system.
• In a five-minute huddle, your team will feel a positive
sense of energy, and the whole team then becomes a
resource that helps find solutions to co-worker’s struggles.
