Inspire Someone

Written for the Write Tribe Festival of Words #3 Day 5 - Inspiration

We all love to read inspiring stories. Today is your turn to tell us one – preferably your own experience, or a story about someone who inspires you. 

Someone once said to me - "you have the ability to make us do the things we thought we could never do without ever forcing us to do it. How do you do it? "

My answer, I really don't know. We each have our own individual style of managing. So here's what I do ...

• Encourage - you cannot motivate anyone, only they can motivate themselves, but encouragement helps that motivation

• Focus on strengths, not weaknesses - trying to improve weaknesses makes mediocre, focus on their strengths and make them great

• Acknowledge - This does not have to be in big ways. even a simple "good job" goes a long way.

• Learn to give a little - when you give a little you get a lot

• Make people feel important and special - remember that your team lifts you not the other way around

• Be polite and respectful. Respect is earned - it is not the right of the title or position 

• Back your team no matter what - you can take them aside later and explain if things went wrong but in front of others, always back them - and they will never let you down

• You are the manager, the buck stops with you. Make it your problem not theirs.

Share your style and then go inspire someone today!
