We assume highly successful people like today’s author are an inspiration to others. But the fact is, any of us can be an inspiration to those around us. Especially if you’re a manager or supervisor – employees look up to those positions and are always watching and listening and that presents opportunities to add motivation and inspiration to you regular management duties. Start by talking about what’s on their minds, bring them into the loop by discussing business issues relevant to them, coach them to discover how they can get the most out of their jobs, and be an example of expected behaviors. Inspire them to think about the stars they can reach for in their jobs and beyond. These kinds of interactions boost commitment, enthusiasm, and productivity. They help build a great workplace culture. Add this kind of out-of-the-office and ‘on-the-floor’ time to your calendar every day. Then leverage that to inspire your employees to reach for the stars today.
