Advice For Those In Leadership...Joyce Meyer

“(On being in a position of leadership) Even if it's your dog, you've got authority over somebody. Start treating him better.”

--Joyce Meyer (http://www.joycemeyer.org/)

Every other Tuesday, WOMEN AT LIBERTY provides a platform for a variety of voices and resources to develop, encourage, and strengthen women leaders. Today's Leadership Tuesdays' blog features the article, "3 Keys For Bringing Out The Best In People" by Michael Beck. This article aptly brings leaders back to the fundamentals of effectively leading people with this quote:

"When a leader regards the members of their team as people, they acknowledge that everyone - regardless of position or tenure - has hopes and dreams, fears and stresses.  They understand that people generally want to do a good job.  And when results aren't what the leader expects, he or she addresses the issue as one person to another, rather than to dish out a "scolding" or respond in a manner which treats people simply as an "asset" or a "resource".  In effect, good leaders treat people like they themselves want to be treated."

When things are not going well in an organization and goals are not being met, it is easy to forget that people are the most valuable part of an organization.  This article reminds us of that with three simple keys.
