When leaders care, those they lead get it; they feel it and know it. The result is huge.

It is my opinion that great leaders see the “huge potential.” If they don’t, how can they possibly inspire and uplift others? One of the most important characteristics of a great leader, is a positive one. Positive leaders bring great energy to an organization. There are huge benefits to being a positive leader.

I can choose to make my boss and/or organization the enemy to all of my dreams, hopes and aspirations and blame poor organization, focus and/or leadership. Or I can choose to focus on doing the best I can to make a real difference in my stewardship. Which is better for my team? Which is ultimately better for me? - See more at: http://www.teamworkandleadership.com/2013/08/positive-thinking-positive-results-i-love-this-story.html#sthash.ycPq1Ntm.dpuf

Who has had an impact in your life? What impact are you making on others lives? I recommend asking these questions every day. One question results in feelings of gratitude. The other gives us a chance to evaluate if we are truly making a difference. We have an opportunity to make a difference every day regardless of our position in life. It may be as simple as a kind word and smile, or as elaborate as taking someone under our wing. The important thing is that we are thinking about this question and then acting. That’s what great leaders do. - See more at: http://www.teamworkandleadership.com/2012/11/one-of-the-most-inspirational-videos-i-have-ever-seen-youth-leading.html#sthash.75UbW9ff.72Yox2NA.dpuf

Empathetic listening requires you to try to understand and not interrupt. Put your hand over your mouth if you need to, but really try understand what is being said. Allow the person to express herself fully. Part of empathetic listening also requires you to ask questions. Get in the habit of listening to understand. As you do so questions will come to your mind. - See more at: http://www.teamworkandleadership.com/2012/06/5-tips-to-help-leaders-use-empathy-in-interactions.html#sthash.mG075tvi.ZsecvKUt.dpuf
