Leadership - Making People Feel Good About Themselves

Submitted by ikayebsi on July 15, 2012 - 7:44am.

This is one of the best videos I have seen on Leadership... click here

Robert Chapman is a leader of a successful company that has grown by 20% compound per annum.

He says that 7 out of 8 people work for an organisation where they feel that they are not fulfilled and nobody matters!

At a wedding, the father hands his daughter to the young man... and what he is saying (or thinking) is... "lookit young man, I am going to trust you with this precious human being, whio has been given unconditional love and I expect you to continue to allow her to be everything that she can and wants to be"

Leaders of an organisation have a responsibility to give every person the oppportunity for them to become and achieve what they could and be everything they were meant or could be!

We need to make our team feel good about themselves. People want to do well. A leader should show them how to do thiss, and reward them accordingly.

If people go home fulfilledd and satisfied, they will argue less, divorce less, happier homes, happier children and better lives. "Continual Upliftment"

Leaders should have KPIs and a system whereby they recognise goodness and wins. (idea, give people opportunity to drive a porsche for a month... based on employees voting who should win..... 1st people they would give a ride to is their mothers.... to tell the persosn (the source of where the goodness came from) that they turned out ok!!

A key is to teach them how to become good leaders... and that is why we are passionate about our initiatives on sharing our leadership knowledge with other corporates and people!!

Gems from the 1st Session of the BSI Mastermind Groups on Leader

By Ivan Kaye on July 20, 2012 - 2:19pm

The first of 8 leadership Mastermind Groups – based on John Maxwell’s irrefutable laws of leadership, facilitated by Ivan Ang were held this week at our city offices. Looking forward to the next 7!!

Some Gems that came out of the session:-

• Leaders create a vision in which others can believe and want to follow, They inspire, motivate and guide others to reach the set goals – be it change, innovation, growth or Canai (Constant and Never ending improvement)

• Words that came to mind when identifying leadership traits - Great communicators, respect, integrity, honesty, vision, inspiration, passion, sense of humour, take responsibility, confidence, be able to do it - demonstate the product or service of the organization.

• Leadership skills can be nurtured – very few have the natural ability. Leadership is something that one learns. The more laws that you learn and master, the better leader you will become.

• Leadership is the ability to Influence – nothing more – nothing less!

• An organization will not grow beyond the leadership capability of the leader… (The Law of the Lid!). If the leaders lid expands and rises, so will the company. We went round the room, and each person rated themselves as leaders… there was definitely room for improvement with all of us to become better leaders.

A great example was the Macdonald Brothers – had 3 great restaurants – and they couldnt grow it beyond the 3 brilliant restaurants they had (their genius being the speed of delivery of the hamburger to the customer). It was Ray Krok that saw the global potential, and bought the business for $2.7m and took Mcdonalds Global.

• There are certain myths of leadership!

Great managers – don’t necessarily mean that they are great leaders…. Both are fundamental to a business, however there could be major constraints when a great manager who is not a leader – takes oer a leadership role.
Entrepreneurs don’t necessary make great leaders – although they may have a great ability to start a business – or have a great product that they have developed, they may not have the skills to influence a team
The knowledge myth – People with high IQ’s don’t necessarily make great leaders.

• There was an amazing sense of collaboration and a will to assist each other in each of the groups. Am looking forward to the next 8 weeks!

It would be great for those who had other insites on leadership to add to this:-
