At the End of the Day- “A Favorable Leadership Culture: Believing in Your People”<\/p>\n
In today’s professional world, it is common for the employer to forget one of the most important duties, LEADING his\/her people.\u00a0 Employers adopt negative behaviors that have an equally negative influence on the employees.\u00a0 When the work environment is discouraging and overly critical, the work quality suffers, and the organization as a whole, begins on a downward spiral.\u00a0 Many times an employer will lose sight of themselves as a leader entirely, yet they will campaign with the message that they “believe in their people”.\u00a0 He\/she will act or behave in ways that show them as anything but a leader.\u00a0 Here are some of the behaviors that are seen today:<\/p>\n
Everything in life has an equal and opposite reaction.\u00a0 When leaders do everything but lead, the employees are the ones that feel the repercussions.\u00a0 On the receiving end, the people react or behave in the following ways:<\/p>\n
True belief in people is demonstrated by employers as they allow their people time and space to think and act.\u00a0 The employer can reclaim his\/her leader (and not “just the boss”) status if they are secure in who they are as a person and as a professional.\u00a0 Truly believing in people illustrates that people are the most important part of the work environment.\u00a0 Also,\u00a0it is crucial to keep things in context.\u00a0 It is easy to say one believes in their people when everything is going right.\u00a0 The challenge for leaders is to believe in their people when the chips are down.<\/p>\n
The Bernard Bass “Transformational Leadership Style Model” includes these four elements:\u00a0 the Influential, the Inspirational, the Intellectually Stimulating and the Individual Consideration.\u00a0 Each of these elements exists when the leader’s behavior reflects that they believe in his\/her people.\u00a0 In turn, the people will be more likely to go above and beyond for their leader, as well as other colleagues.\u00a0 When the leader of the organization truly believes in his\/her people, it results in a positive leadership culture.<\/p>\n
