b"SUCCESS THANKS TO THOSE AROUND YOU Remember that when passionate employees shut up, it usually signals that the work environment has become very dysfunctional. As a leader, this is something you need to observe and act on immediately.Please don't push your most loyal people to the point that they don't care anymore. When you have passionate, inspired, and motivated people to help the company realize its vision while fulfilling its purpose, you need to do everything in your power to keep that team going. Otherwise, you run the risk of pushing away great talent while settling for mediocrity.6.Freedom to work: Steve Job often said,It doesn't make sense to hire smart people and tell them what to do; we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do. Bad leadership is about building a great team and doing everything in your power to stay in control. I've seen people report to their manager on everything. For example, why is a manager interested in a routine interaction between two colleagues? It doesn't make sense at all.No one can build and maintain an organization if no trust exists. It makes no sense to recruit the best and tie their hands by not giving them the freedom to excel.Great leaders know that the soul of their organization is their team, and they must trust their team to produce their best work, because that is why they recruit qualified and responsible people in the first place.If you want to be a leader, give your team the space to work, create an environmentfreefromtheshacklesoftoxicity,andwitnesssignificant growth in your business, but more importantly, your team.7.Value people: I have found the most powerful motivator to be a simple thank you note for their outstanding work.Appreciation is one of life's greatest motivators, and now more than ever, allofouremployeesandassociatesneedtoberecognizedforthe incredible sacrifice and inspiring work they do every day.A knowledgeable leader must make it a priority to be grateful to his team, tovaluetheimportanceoftheircommitment,toappreciatetheir contributions and, above all, to thank them for their excellent service.Germain Decelles347"
