It's about being with oneself, knowing oneself, being at peace with oneself. Being honest with oneself, even if it hurts. Working on oneself when things seem out of balance, instead of blaming others for it. Stepping back during the successes of employees and giving them the glory, celebrating with them. Telling them what great work they are doing and how important they are for the team and the company.⬆️ If leaders are aware of themselves, all of this comes naturally and easily. If they are not, they make themselves big at the expense of others - the employees: ⬇️They criticize their performance - to feel big. ⬇️They communicate little - to feel big. ⬇️They take credit for others' work - to feel big. ⬇️They behave disrespectfully - to feel big. ⬇️They defame them in front of others - to feel big.
⬇️the list goes on...
All of this ultimately leads to demotivated employees, resignation, and internal quitting. According to a 2018 Gallup study, the economic damage amounts to billions. Which company can afford that? Leadership is personal development and therefore a process that takes time. Leaders need time and support to be able to develop.
