LEADERS

2. LEADERS SHOW
APPRECIATION
Don’t just internalize appreciation
for contributors. Show it! Praise
them. Give extra vacation time. Say
thank you.
Employ the law of reciprocity. Give
more, and you'll naturally receive
more.

3. "Make it a habit to tell people thank
you. To express your appreciation,
sincerely and without the expectation
of anything in return. Truly appreciate
those around you, and you'll soon find
many others around you."
Ralph Marston

4. LEADERS
EMPOWER
Remove organizational and
administrative burdens that hinder
progress.
Provide contributors with what they
need to succeed, such as resources
and decision-making power. Move
mountains if you have to.

5. "As we look ahead into the next
century, leaders will be those who
empower others."
Bill Gates

6. LEADERS ACT AS
PARTNERS
Forget the org chart. Contributors
aren't subordinates; they're your
partners.
View them as equals. Treat them as
equals. Partner to achieve your
vision as a leader.

7. "Unity is strength... when there is
teamwork and collaboration,
wonderful things can be
achieved."
Mattie Stepanek

8. LEADERS
LISTEN
To lead, you must receive more
information than you send; this is
how you improve.
Thus, great leaders listen more than
they talk.

9. "I remind myself every morning:
Nothing I say this day will teach
me anything. So if I'm going to
learn, I must do it by listening."
Larry King

10. CONNECTING THE
PIECES
The takeaway: Leaders focus more
on others than on themselves.
Instill these four characteristics in
your everyday outlook to become a
better leader and achieve your vision
with the help of engaged
contributors.

11. "People buy into the leader before
they buy into the vision."
John C. Maxwell
