How Do You Spot a Leader?
Rewarding employees does not mean buying them gifts or giving awards. It means showing appreciation for their hard work and input. Say for example, you just started your new job on a team of six people. You were trained by another employee but they are your equal. The team works together on different assignment given by your supervisor from the client. Each team member speaks at the daily meeting about different ideas. Which team member shows leadership? How would they? A leader may say things like “I really like <insert name>’s idea. Can you go into more detail <insert name>?” Building up the team’s ideas help move productivity forward. A leader builds their teams confidence and motivation to complete productivity tasks.
