Are you happy with yourself? Doesn’t have to be 100%; but you should like what you see.
· Look in the mirror…
· What you see is what you get.
· It’s what you’ve been working all
· Your life to achieve, to become you.
· Keep that thought and spread it around.
When I talk about the importance of practicing servant leadership and catching employees doing things right, that’s not about coddling employees.
· It’s about caring: knowing first names and what motivates them.
· It’s about empathy: listening and responding to their needs.
· It’s about trust: knowing that you’ve got each other’s backs.
· It’s about respect: being aligned and connected.
· It’s about happy: because happy employees make happy customers.
Start by hiring people who are most likely to become happy and satisfied employees. Those kinds of people are:
· Optimistic: seeing the glass as half full
· Willing: curious and interested to learn more
· Flexible: open to changes and challenges
· Resilient: able to bounce back from any situation
These will be your high performers – give them lots of developmental opportunities and reinforce those with coaching and mentoring; keep your eye on them and give them lots of positive reinforcement for positive behavior. Be happy and make others so today.
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1797 – 1851): English novelist who wrote the Gothic novel Frankenstein, which is considered an early example of science fiction
