EMPOWER YOUR PEOPLE
Build On Strengths and Core Values
Effective leaders develop practices that build on the strengths of their team and the values of their organization.
Empower Your People
There are few well-rounded leaders who are completely equipped to handle all facets of their business or organization. Some in leadership roles who try to take on all tasks often find themselves frustrated and end up taking themselves out of the game. When leaders admit that they can’t necessarily handle everything the job requires and delegate responsibility to staff members who have skills they don’t possess, it is a life-changing experience. When a leader realizes that they are actually very good at certain parts of their job and that they’re not the best person for other parts, and that that’s okay, it’s revolutionary. Their job is to make sure everything gets taken care of, not to be good at everything. While there are no well-rounded leaders, there are well-rounded leadership teams. Our job as leaders is to understand what part we are best at and who we need to fill the other roles. That’s the biggest key to great leadership. Give it away. Pass it down the line. Grow those below you. Teach them to follow your lead. Make yourself expendable. And reap the harvest of a life of incalculable worth!

DISCOVER SERVING LEADERSHIP
ENGAGE YOUR TEAM
The majority of your employees are under-engaged. Research reveals that only 29% of your workforce shows up on the job with a personal commitment to do all they can to serve your enterprise. The other 71% are are not willing to risk more than what it takes to get by, and they feel reluctant to give more of themselves. Many become unmotivated as past efforts have gone unnoticed and unrewarded.
Breakthroughs in business are produced when your team members wake up in the morning with passion for their work and certainty that they can make an extraordinary difference today! That is the mindset of a worker who is fully engaged. As a leader, you can create a thriving culture in which men and women want to bring their whole selves to the job. It is a true blessing to be surrounded by inspired and motivated people. And there is no greater competitive advantage than a fully engaged workforce.
EXPERIENCE YOUR PURPOSE
Leaders guide their organizations to run to a great purpose. But first, they look within and find their own purpose. As they experience their purpose they serve their organization and others by helping them discover and live out their own purpose.
EMPOWER YOUR LEADERSHIP
“Do as I do” should be the mantra of every serving leader. A leader’s credibility weighs in the balance and they will either gain the deep respect of those whom they serve, or they will be discarded as hypocrites in the minds of their workers, “bosses with no integrity, no honor.”
The most powerful leaders in the world are those whom are viewed as authentic and credible. Leaders must insure that the message they intend to give is the message that others actually receive. No amount of communication will close a “say-do gap,” the loss of trust experienced by a worker who witnesses a boss not doing what they say they will do. This causes fundamental mistrust of leadership and restoring that trust is the key to an empowered workforce.
Trust is a real verifiable resource and being trustworthy can be learned and mastered. It is a matter of exercising greater character and greater discipline. One of those disciplines is for leaders to be guided by purpose. A deep sense of purpose creates fertile soil for innovation, especially when faced with challenges. Team members will work hard when inspired by leader fueled by purpose.
