I appreciate this article from Bob Chapman, CEO, Barry-Wehmiller, titled Building the Case for Caring in Business. Basically, the article talks about how leaders that care about their people can be successful in making the business numbers and the bottom line work in their favor. The best thing I get from my read of this article is that leaders must focus more on WHY people are performing than on WHAT they are doing. Engaging with the reasons people keep going to work puts you in touch with their energy that keeps them performing. I got this courtesy of Dave Bryant, and you read his post on LinkedIn.

I was truly impressed by a LinkedIn post today titled “Five Leadership Competencies That Are Not Optional Anymore.” 1. Leading a remote workforce, 2. Understanding data, 3. Technological acumen, 4. Business intelligence, 5. Preparedness. This is from The Center for Organizational Excellence and is written by Christopher Meadows and Paul Eder. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/dr-david-weiss-93244527_infographics-innovation-leadership-activity-6889547018461622272-7YIG. It contained an excellent infographic shared by Dr. David Weiss and Nicole Valentine, PMP®. I suggested adding \”Leader Engagement\” that focuses on emotional intelligence, empathy, and leader-member exchange theory. Let me know if you want to know more about EI, empathy, or LMX.

Leaders who fail to engage with their team members on a regular basis can put them in difficult, unfortunate situations. Leaders who only engage with team members when there is a deadline may find themselves in difficult conversations. The leader who does not take the time to regularly engage with their people to get to know them is taking a risk. Leaders may know their strengths and weaknesses, but do they know what brings them to work each day? Do they know which tasks they enjoy most? Do they have tasks in mind that would offer them new job challenges? Do they know where their people want to be personally and professionally next week, next month, or next year? How do leaders improve this situation? By using EI or Empathy, or both. EI, or Emotional Intelligence, offers chances to find quality in interpersonal behaviors when one evaluates, controls, and perceives emotions. Empathy is making a conscious effort to put yourself in another person’s position, try to see things from their perspective, and try to grasp the emotions they may be feeling. Both concepts require accepting and offering feedback, getting in touch with our own emotions and those of others, and taking the necessary steps to adjust to those emotions. I assure you, there are more great conversations ahead. Get involved!
