All of us are important. Each of us has value. Many times in our life we are dropped, crumpled and stomped into the dirt. We may feel a lack of self-worth or at the very least a lack of self-confidence. But regardless of how many times you are dropped, crumbled and stomped, you have the same value. We all belong to one Supreme Being who is cheering for us. I hope that as leaders we will cheer for each other as well. - See more at: http://www.teamworkandleadership.com/2013/07/you-have-value-fantastic-and-powerful-story-and-video-to-share.html#sthash.50HjSKTn.dpuf

We can shape employee behavior so much quicker by being positive than we can by being negative. It is a special thing to feel appreciated as a dad, as an employee, as a leader! Feeling that someone values us and really thinks we are kind of neat lifts us up – it is inspiring. One simple positive kind comment, one plain sticky note with an encouraging comment or one thoughtful voice-mail can make someones entire day, maybe even week! It is amazing the effect we can have on others lives by just being a little more caring, a little more considerate, and a little more attentive. - See more at: http://www.teamworkandleadership.com/2012/01/want-to-shape-employees-behavior-positive-leadership.html#sthash.OcMcWaCv.5aTjGSnT.dpuf

Don’t make the mistake of only seeing the negative. Once we see the potential in others, it becomes easier to be positive. By focusing on the unique gifts and talents of those we lead, it becomes easier to see what someone can become. Every one of us has the potential to be something unique and special. It is our jobs and callings as leaders to help others discover what that is. - See more at: http://www.teamworkandleadership.com/2012/10/do-you-make-this-mistake-with-those-you-lead-leadership-story.html#sthash.kSs8Cwi7.dpuf

Wonderful story! Make sure you don't make this mistake.

Do you make this mistake with those you lead? Leadership Story



Do you make this mistake? Powerful leadership story on the power of seeing potential. I remember years ago a story I heard in Sunday School that has had an important impact on me all of my life. It was based on the legend of “Johnny Lingo.” Maybe some of you have heard it?

You most likely won’t see happiness in a job description for a leader. However, it is a quality that makes a big difference in your ability to lead. Happy leaders are more resilient under pressure, they tend to be more focused and are usually more approachable. Understanding how to be more happy can make you a better leader.

Being courageous doesn’t mean you aren’t afraid; it just means you cared more about something else than the fear.
