Great organizations are driven to reach the pinnacle of their successes by the visions and inspirations of their leaders. An effective leader comes to understand that it is not enough to just have visions of a triumphant future, but must also realize that their vision of the future must be communicated in a way that is clear to all concerned.

About our editor:
Chris Widener is a popular speaker and writer as well as the President of Made for Success and Extraordinary Leaders, two companies helping individuals and organizations turn their potential into performance, succeed in every area of their lives and achieve their dreams.
I don't remember where I picked these up but
they hang on the wall next to my desk. For all who are called to lead, they
are a great reminder of what we should do:
People are illogical, unreasonable and
self-centered (including me). Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of
selfish, ulterior motives. Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you win false
friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten
tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.
The biggest people with the biggest ideas
can be shot down by the littlest people with the littlest ideas. Think big
anyway.
People favor underdogs, but follow only
top dogs. Fight for a few underdogs anyway.
What you spend years building may be
destroyed overnight. Build anyway.
People really need help, but may attack
you if you do help them. Help them anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you
will get kicked in the teeth. Give the best you have anyway.
"I have never seen a person who could do real
work except under the stimulus of encouragement and enthusiasm and the approval
of the people for whom he is working."
Charles M. Schwab
One of the most important things you can do to
help your business or venture succeed is to encourage your employees. I know
that for many the tendency is to think that an employee should be encouraged by
their paycheck (and they should), but employees are people, and people need
encouragement.
Here are some ways to help you encourage your
employees.
Tell them that you appreciate them. For many,
this is all they need. A simple “You know, I really appreciate the hard work and
determination you put into this job,” is enough to encourage them and get them
on the road again.
Give them some time off. Have you ever considered
just saying, “You know, you do such a great job, I want you to take an extra day
off this week. Make it a three day weekend.”
Buy them a gift. A good way to do this is to be
aware of what hobbies and interests your employees have. Then when you are out
and about and see something that has to do with that particular interest, pick
it up for them. Coming into the office and saying “Hey, you know, I really
appreciate what you do for the company, and I got this for you as a small token
of my appreciation,” will do wonders!
Be sure to say “Thanks.” No matter what, always
be sure to say thank you to those who work for you. Yes they do it for a
paycheck, but it always helps to know that their work is recognized.
And as for recognition, a great way to encourage
your employees is to recognize them in front of their peers. Stand them up and
praise them before their co-workers. And watch their faces light up, their
countenances change, and their work get better!
What would I say if given just one more chance to
give a short speech that would challenge people to step forward and lead? Here
it is:
The topic of leadership has been and continues to
be one of the most vital topics in human history. From ancient civilizations to
modern day multi-national corporations, men and women of passion, fervor and
zeal have sought to discover the secrets of moving others beyond the gray of
their mundane reality to the rich array of colors that embody the palate of the
extraordinary life.
Every organization or collection of people, from
large to small, requires ardent and skilled leaders. It has been said that
everything rises and falls on leadership, and it is true. Every group –
families, cities, churches, associations and yes, even nations – fulfills its
purposes and potential based on the leadership it is shown.
As leaders we are given the charge, the
responsibility, and the privilege to see grand visions, to dream lofty dreams,
to forge new ground, and to challenge and encourage those who would follow our
leadership to ascend the heights with us. We beckon them to come. We implore
them. All for their own good. This is to lead them toward their possibilities.
Be assured that there will be a leader of every
group. There will be those who influence others, even if you don’t. There may
even be unscrupulous people who use their abilities to lead others astray. The
quote “All it takes for evil to prevail is for the good man to do nothing,”
remains true today, as it has through the annals of time. This is the compelling
motive for you to rise up and lead the way for others.
Our families depend on it.
Our community groups depend on it.
Our nations depend on it.
People will follow you for two reasons: They
follow you because of your character, for who you are. They also follow you for
your skills, for what you can do. Make it your every effort to impart skillful
and honorable leadership for them that would look to you for your wisdom, your
guidance and your belief in the promise of the human spirit.
Someone will lead. Will it be you? If not you,
then who will lead? If you will not lead now, then when?
Today, more than ever, you are needed. Your
strong character is needed. Your finely honed skills are needed. I know you will
rise to the challenge.
Lead boldly. Lead with faith. Lead others to the
pinnacle of the human existence. This is the highest calling and the reward is
of the utmost kind.
You can be a leader, have a fulfilling life and
make a difference in your home, job and community by building and enhancing
these twelve success qualities!
