One Thing You Can't Hide

Written by Gordon Goh

One of repparttar

most important of all motivators at work is consideration. Employees report that repparttar 119422

best managers they ever had were people who cared about them as people and as friends. These managers took repparttar 119423

time to ask them questions about their lives, and to listen patiently while they talked about repparttar 119424

dilemmas and problems and situations in their families. The more that repparttar 119425

employees felt that repparttar 119426

boss liked them and respected them, repparttar 119427

more empowered and motivated they felt.

Caring Is The Key

The flip side of this motivator is repparttar 119428 de-motivating feeling that repparttar 119429 boss doesn’t care. This is almost invariably expressed in a lack of recognition, a lack of approval, a lack of appreciation and a general failure to pay attention to repparttar 119430 employee over time.

Spend Time Listening

Remember repparttar 119431 amount of time that you spend talking to and listening to an employee is a signal to that employee that he or she is important to you and to repparttar 119432 company. This is why repparttar 119433 very best bosses spend a lot of time walking around and chatting with their employees. They sit with them for lunch and coffee. They invite their comments and encourage open discussion and disagreements about work. They create an environment where people feel that repparttar 119434 work belongs to them as well as to repparttar 119435 company. In that environment, employees feel good about themselves and more fully committed to doing repparttar 119436 job and doing it well.

Summary: A key stumbling block to leadership success is repparttar 119422 very mind-set of repparttar 119423 leaders. Those leaders who don't believe that results are limitless are selling their jobs and careers short. Here is a four-step process for manifesting a "results are limitless" mind-set.

In Leadership, Results Are Limitless by Brent Filson

Results are limitless. That's not a supposition. That's a fact. Leaders who don't believe that don't understand repparttar 119424 power of leadership to achieve great results. Leaders who believe it and live by their belief have an unmatched advantage over those leaders who don't.

To begin to understand how and why results-are-results are limitless, consider these facts: * In 1878, Jean Bouillaud, member of repparttar 119425 French Academy of Sciences, said upon hearing a demonstration of Thomas Edison's phonograph, "It is quite impossible that repparttar 119426 noble organs of human speech could be replaced ignoble, senseless metal."

* In 1899, Charles H. Duell (Commissioner of U.S. Office of Patents.), urging President William McKinley to abolish his office, said,"Everything that can be invented has been invented."

* An 1909 article in repparttar 119427 Scientific American stated, "The automobile has practically reached repparttar 119428 limit of its development is suggested by repparttar 119429 fact that during repparttar 119430 past year no improvements of a radical nature have been introduced."

* Popular Mechanics stated in March 1949: "Where a calculator on repparttar 119431 ENIAC is equipped with 18,000 vacuum tubes and weighs 30 tons, computers in repparttar 119432 future may have only 1,000 vacuum tubes and perhaps only weight 11/2 tons."

The point isn't that experts are wrong. Experts, we know, have been wrong countless times. The point isn't that things change. That's obvious. The point is this: BECAUSE THINGS CHANGE, RESULTS ARE LIMITLESS. IN OTHER WORDS, WHATEVER RESULTS YOU ARE ACHIEVING, YOU CAN ALWAYS ACHIEVE MORE.
