Manufacture Your Day by BEING A GREAT ROLE MODEL TO OTHERS
What is your intention for the next few weeks? How do you want to be as a person? How will you positively influence people to be better and to do better? Is your mind full or are you planning to be mindful this week?
It can be difficult to express what we want, especially if we don’t know what we want. It seems to become even more challenging if we want other people to understand what we want.
You can be the smartest person in the room but if you cannot transform your thoughts into a meaningful message, your team won’t understand what you are trying to say.
Your team members have to know where you are going, why you are going there and why they should come with you.
One way to get started is to demonstrate behaviours that you would like to see in your team members.
Your action:
Write down 3 positive workplace behaviours that you would like to see in your team members.
If you want to see….
- more kindness, you have to be kind.
- team members who show more initiative, you must show initiative.
- employees take on more responsibility, you must take on more responsibility.
- people who care about the business, you must care about the people.
Do you get my point?
Start living and breathing your own expectations. If you observe these positive behaviours, acknowledge and reinforce them over and over again.
By the way, the same strategy works with your co-workers, your children and your spouse.
What if you would start looking for the behaviours that you want to see rather than complaining about the lack of them? We have enough PCs (professional complainers) at the workplace. You don’t want to be one of them.
You don’t need a title to be a leader. Lead with your actions, not with your words.
Food for Thought:
Do you make people happy when you enter a room or when you leave that room?
