We are continuing our conversation around employee accountability during your busy season… Here is our 4th tip:
4. INSPIRE OTHERS WITH A FUTURE THAT CREATES DESIRED RESULTS.
- Powerful leaders inspire their employees.
- They share their vision in a way that allows people to own that vision for themselves.
- Their invitation asks, “Are you willing to commit yourself to creating a new and different outcome?”
- Support team members by being the vision in action, and structure their schedules and circumstances in a way that expresses the shared vision.
- Intentional leaders use accountability and measure results over time, encouraging team members to live out the vision.
Essentially, this means taking the time to create a broader vision or mission that inspires your employees and team members. Here are some examples from leaders and businesses I’ve worked with: “Exceeding expectations,” “Impacting lives always,” and “Creating meaningful connections.”
The important thing to keep in mind is this: A vision or mission is NOT a marketing message. It is personally meaningful to you and your team, and it inspires everyone to show up in a bigger way - that is, above and beyond just collecting a paycheck and making more money.
Question: Have you created a bigger mission or vision for your leaders and/or business? If so, please share with the rest of us and let us know how it has made a difference for you. I would love to hear from you!
