When was the last time you took a step back to evaluate your people skills and their impact on your working environment?
By showing a genuine interest in the lives of those we see at work each day, by regularly communicating why the work others are doing is important, by acknowledging even the smallest of progress made on meaningful tasks, by having a laugh, we are doing our bit to create and sustain a positive and supportive environment that is for the benefit of all.
The quote above is by General Colin Powell.
Do those around you confide in you?
Do you respond appropriately?
What kind of an everyday leader are you?
Remember that your behaviour can be an example of everyday leadership for those around you, be they peers, superiors or subordinates. Set the example.
