Make my joy complete by being
like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose (Philippians
2:2 NIV)
How would
you rate yourself on the “relationship” scale? Do you see room for improvement,
or are relationships naturally your suit?
People seem to know instinctively whether others like and respect them,
or not. Make room in your schedule for “little
acts of kindness” to the people you lead on a daily basis. Is someone you work with going through a
personal crisis? Let them know you are
there for them emotionally, and offer to help in practical ways such as
shifting a difficult project to another coworker.
Does morale
need a boost? Take a five-minute meeting
with each of those you lead and point out their strongest on the job
asset. Jesus related to people as
individuals, and as you relate to those you lead not just as employees but as
human beings, you’ll notice a newfound richness in your organization.
Relationships
are the currency of leadership, for without people and the necessary give and
take that accompanies any worthwhile leadership endeavor, an organization would
lose its value and purpose. Since people
are your greatest assets, pour your energies into developing them to their
fullest potential. Make the people you
work with your priority today.
