Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a great weekend! Today’s topic covers a quote by Napoleon Bonaparte, “a leader is a dealer in hope”.
It’s easy for leaders to get caught up in the numbers, but at the end of the day, leaders, especially those that get closer to the top of the organizational chart need to be the emotional leader. No matter what situation you face, your first job as a leader is to inspire people to hope for something better. To create a vision that spurs them to want to do what needs to be done.
Why hope? Hope is an incredibly powerful force when harnessed the right way. Giving them hope in a vision or mission gives them the strength and confidence to take risks, to push harder than they ever have, to lay it all on the line.
It could also be giving them hope for the next level in their career. Laying out an employees path is the best hope you can give. If they don’t know where they are going, it’s impossible for them to hope for the next level. When they are hopeless, they lose drive or interest in their work, they start looking elsewhere or they just leave.
Leaders, before you put on your cape or pull out your soapbox, there are no heroes in this story. This is part of your job and if you go into this trying to “inspire” people, your message will get lost. Your job is to inspire by knowing your people, what motivates them, what unlocks them. By creating a rock solid vision for the future, where you are going and more importantly, why. And finally by being vulnerable and admitting when you set the wrong course or the company has veered off course.
This isn’t easy work, but it’s necessary work. If you can harness hope and inspire your people, you can do tremendous things together, but it all starts with you.
I hope everyone has an incredible week! Take care of yourselves and remember that you have the power to build people up or tear people down, always build people up.
