Mutual respect and effort from all are the foundation on which success is built. ✅ Upper management has long been sent the message that they’re more important because of their title, paycheck, and the floor on which their office resides. But that’s a fallacy. It erodes company progress and overall performance. We need to change this perspective and see upper management as an equal part of the whole － it exists to remove obstacles for the product producers instead of creating unnecessary hurdles for them to deal with. ✅ Invert the “pyramid”; go against society’s predisposed notion that upper management is the most important role of an organization. ✅ To what degree has your ego infiltrated your leadership and management style? Can you even tell? If you’re struggling to pin this down, objectively look at how you react to feedback from subordinates － it’s a great measuring tool! ✅ Consider the fact your leadership role is not about having all the answers, but about asking really good questions. Shutting up, listening to experienced employees’ ideas, and then implementing them is one of the most meaningful actions you can take in a position of power. ✅ Take advantage of the “calm waters” in your business/organization to give your staff time to lead and shine. However, also make sure that everyone understands and respects when it’s time for leadership to step in during a crisis. The chain of command isn’t needed for everything, but it's there for a reason. ✅ A good leader can only become great when they notice and address embers before they grow into fires that need to be put out. ✅ Jon’s biggest tip: look to introverts, the people who speak up less than others. Though they’re not as keen on expressing themselves, they’re usually exceptionally deep thinkers whose ideas can become an impetus for organizational growth and long-term success. ✅ What type of environment are you providing to those you call “your team”? How do you want them to feel about their daily contributions? Are they in a position to tap into their full leadership capabilities? If not, what are you doing to change that? ✅ Outside of business, people are leaders in many different aspects: mothers, fathers, friends, coaches, community directors, and beyond - honor this. Celebrate their roles so they implement their intrinsic skills into their work environment. ✅ Leadership is not just about telling people what to do, it’s extracting their individual potential and finding ways in which it can benefit the business as a whole. ✅ Rather than quickly eliminating people with questionable skills or integrity, try reorienting their positions first. Sometimes the perceived negative qualities of someone can actually prove a massive boon in the right position, adding perspective and value in unexpected ways. ➡️ Guest Links: ✅ Home - jonsrennie.com 🔗 Connect with Wylie: Website - wyliemcgraw.com Book - Peak Performance: Mindset Tools for Business (Peak Performance Series) Kindle Edition - https://amzn.to/3TK4Alr LinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/wyliemcgraw Instagram - @wisewordswithwylie Twitter - @WylieMcGraw If you’re digging the show, please hit the Subscribe button and share this with those who you know would dig it too 👊 ✅ Subscribe here: https://www.youtube.com/@wisewordsand...
