Leadership & Inspiring Others
When people know that what they do matters and have an inspiring vision of the future, their commitment and engagement increases as they can see how their work contributes to the bigger picture. They make better decisions and are more able to deal with setbacks, as they know where they’re headed. The ability to influence and inspire others has so many benefits to overall performance, so create a vision that will give your team meaningful direction and is something you can aim for together. If that vision doesn’t inspire you, its unlikely to inspire others, so work on a message that appeals to peoples interests and remember, its not just about the words. You need to show your commitment to your vision through your actions and this will inspire others to commit as well.
