There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why... I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?

Robert Kennedy

The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and self-restraint to keep from meddling with them while they do it.

Theodore Roosevelt

But… to motivate as a great manager and leader - is it more than just “picking good men or women” to get the job done?

You may be equipped with adequate resources, but without determination and drive… “the motivation” - you will not be able to take on new challenges or build on existing ones.

Building Your Leadership Skills

Be Equitable

The “Do’s”

Encourage Initiative

Model Creativity & Risk-taking

Exceed Your Own Standards

www.bnkrsu.com

Overview of Do’s and Don’ts

Do . . . Exceed Your Own Standards

Most leaders set high standards for their employees. But successful leaders personally exceed the standards they set for others. If you give your employees reason to question your willingness or ability to abide by the standards you have set for them, their confidence in your leadership skills will plummet and your business could be in jeopardy.

Do . . . Model Creativity & Risk-taking

Leaders model the behaviors they want to see in their employees. Creativity and risk-taking are critical qualities in a growing business, but your employees will be hesitant to apply them until they see you engaging in them first.

www.bnkrsu.com

Overview of Do’s and Don’ts

Do . . . Encourage Initiative

Effective leaders encourage initiative in others. If your employees don't feel as though they have your permission to take the initiative from time to time – they won't. And before long, you will find yourself pigeon-holed into the role of a micro-manager rather than a true leader.

Do . . . Be Equitable

As the company's owner, you have to maintain equity in your dealings with employees and clients. However, being equitable doesn't mean that everyone has the same responsibilities or receives the same rewards. It simply means that rewards should be based on performance and level of responsibility rather than who tells the best jokes in the lunch room.

With Do’s… get to the point immediately; Keep it interesting and be specific

Don’ts

www.bnkrsu.com

www.bnkrsu.com

Overview of Do’s and Don’ts

Don't . . . Play Armchair Quarterback

If you're looking for a way to frustrate your employees, don't offer them any advice about how to complete a task and then criticize their approach after the fact. No one likes an armchair quarterback, so unless the outcome is unacceptable, try to resist the urge to tell employees how you would have done it differently.

Don't . . . Humiliate Employees in Public

Leaders carry the responsibility of enforcing discipline and holding employees accountable for their mistakes. But when it's time to discuss difficult issues with an employee, do yourself a favor and make sure the conversation happens behind closed doors. In addition to degrading both you and your employee, public humiliation undermines morale and reflects poorly on your leadership skills.

www.bnkrsu.com

Overview of Do’s and Don’ts

Don't . . . Shift Blame for Your Mistakes

Some leaders refuse to accept responsibility for their mistakes because they believe it is a sign of weakness. But that's a big mistake. The strongest leaders are those who admit their mistakes instead of shifting blame to others, and in so doing, earn the respect of their employees.

Don't . . . Dwell on Mistakes

Mistakes are not usually a reflection of poor leadership ability. But the inability to get past your employees mistakes . . . That's a different story. Address mistakes, talk about how to avoid them next time, and move on. Constant reminders about past failures discourage employees and make it difficult for them to see how they can redeem themselves going forward.

Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.
