Leadership and Giving him the Business!
Tis the season for giving.
It reminds me of one of the most famous referee quotes of all time during an NFL football game. Click here to see what he was "giving" him.
On the radio yesterday, I heard that an anonymous donor went into a Wal-Mart here in Birmingham and paid off over $6,000 of items on layaway. Imagine the surprise and smiles of those who came in to pick up their completely paid off gifts.
At my work, we had to move hundreds of chairs and tables out of our four training rooms for the carpets to be cleaned. This 4-5 hour project turned into a 20 minute event as 16 of my co-workers volunteered to help.
Leaders should give year round, not just during the holidays...
As a leader, you should be giving the following to your employees and teammates...
- recognition
- thanks
- coaching
- feedback
- work life balance
- an ethical work environment
and much more.
It's not easy being a leader...but it always seems easier this time of year. Enjoy this season knowing that you, as a leader, have made a difference in 2011.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
