Great leadership starts with serving your people
Serve your people, and they’ll serve your customers. Lessons on becoming an aspirational leader from Brand Pretorius Nadine Todd
When it comes to good leadership, remember this sentence: I am the light switch every morning. When you walk into your business every morning, look each employee in the eye. Your energy will influence your employees and how they do their work by empowering and entrusting them.
Many people live their work lives in figurative darkness, without a sense of belonging, and no confidence in the business they work for and the quality of leadership they’re expected to follow. Their disengagement can impact your business.
However, they might not be solely to blame. Leadership, or a lack thereof, is an important factor in how successful your business is. You need to be deliberate in your efforts to switch on the lights.
