Treating Others Well is the Sign of Great Leadership

“The people with the greatest love, not the most information, will influence us to change.”- Bob Goff

Bob Goff is the New York Times best-selling author of the book Love Does. His quote reminds us that it isn’t what you know that matters as much as how you behave. You may have all the knowledge in the world on important subjects which will make you an expert, but if you don’t have the social skills to lead others with love, you won’t be very effective.

Goff shared a story in a blog post about Galileo, a scientist who used a telescope to determine that the Earth and the other planets rotated around the sun. At the time, this went against the standard beliefs in science and caused Galileo to be arrested and jailed. What Galileo discovered was truth, but his truth threatened those in leadership, and instead of listening, they reacted defensively.

As leaders, it’s important to realize that information changes and what we think we know might be proven ineffective or wrong at some point down the line. As a leader, how you treat others is more important than what you know. Here are some keys concepts to keep in mind-

Key Concept- Being challenged doesn’t require defensiveness. Some leaders feel that their authority should not be challenged. It’s true that a leadership role holds an expectation of authority and in most cases deserves respect; however, respect is best when it is earned. If your authority is being challenged, hold your peace and your maturity and determine if the challenge is worthy. If so, embrace the challenge and work together to seek a solution or remedy or embrace the new information with gratitude.

Key Concept- Seek to inspire not command- Leadership should inspire others to want to take action on behalf of the leader or the common goal the leader represents. How you treat others will determine how willing they are to serve the cause. Great leaders inspire people to go beyond what they might do on their own. By serving as an example, doing the work alongside others, and being the hardest-working member of the group, leaders can encourage others to give their best as well.

Key Concept- Surround yourself with people smarter than you are- Great leaders know that life’s an ever-evolving thing and it requires life-long learning. No one person can know everything in all areas. Strong leaders surround themselves with people smarter than they are in certain areas and empower them and support them to shine. They aren’t threatened by someone else’s knowledge or the fact they don’t know everything. True leadership includes the humility of being less knowledgeable and making no apologies.

What you know isn’t as important as how you operate. Being a great leader includes knowing your stuff, but more importantly, it includes being kind, compassionate, and treating those you lead with dignity and respect.

EXERCISE: Cultivating Freedom Through Foundational Practices

When you drive through the countryside, chances are you’ve noticed abandoned houses dotted here and there, melting into the ground. You may not have thought about them much, or you might have wondered why anyone would let them go so completely.

Talk to an architect, and he’ll point out those houses weren’t built with proper foundations—just four wooden posts anchored in the ground.
He’ll tell you such houses don’t last, especially if they stand empty, airless and cold while dampness gets in. The roof sags, the frame starts to give way, and people can’t sell them. Moral: A house is only as good as its foundation.

It’s the same for small businesses.

A huge majority are abandoned after a few months or years because they couldn’t stand up. Their owners didn’t take the time to lay a proper foundation and floundered when the foundation started to give way.

That won’t be your business. Your website is where clients are going to learn more about you and your brand. But first, you need to get clear on your brand and your ideal customers for yourself.

Take a moment and redefine or reaffirm the following in the comments below:

1. ) Who you want to serve?
2. ) What are your ideal clients are seeking?
3. ) How you can help them most effectively?
4. ) What do you offer?
5. ) Why it is unique? [HINT: if someone else already posted it, then it must not be all that unique 😉]
6. ) Why are you the best person to deliver these services or products?

Once you nail down your brand and message, it will be a lot easier to market your business.

Why Serve Others- Even When You’re the Leader?

Most leaders started out as followers. Leadership comes from mastery of a concept or idea and inspiring and motivating others to achieve a common goal. Good leaders have spent significant time in the trenches and never stop, even after they’re promoted.

Being a leader means more than being the boss. It requires a willingness to take on more responsibilities than the team and to be willing to work just as hard, if not harder. Sadly, leadership can get a bad name. The imagery of someone sitting at a desk with their feet up while others do the work that they claim for themselves leaves a bad taste in your mouth. The idea is that leaders have paid their dues and don’t have to work hard anymore. Sadly, this is a way that leadership gets a bad name. In addition, some leaders lose touch with what it takes to be on the front lines and diminish or discount the hard work of the people they lead. In both cases, this can cause a rift between leaders and teammates.

The best leaders have a heart for service and never stop. No matter how high their leadership title, great leaders serve others and seek to better understand the needs of the people they are leading. Here are some easy ways to continue to serve, even when you’re the leader-

Don’t be afraid to do the work too
Seek to determine what others need
Ask more questions

Delegate, but be sure to do the work too- The best leaders make time to get alongside the people they serve and do the work too. Delegating is an important function of leadership. You can’t lead if you are doing all the work but it’s important to keep morale high and keep your skills polished too. You can do both by working alongside the people you lead and showing them there’s nothing you aren’t too important to do.

Find out what people need to make things easier- The people you lead have a lot on their plate. They have on and off-duty lives too. Keeping your finger on the pulse of what they need offers opportunities for you to serve them and build their trust and respect for you. Great leaders know when their teams need something to make their work easier or to offset troubles they have off the clock. Stay in touch and in tune with your teams and you’ll transform your leadership skills exponentially.

Always ask questions- Leaders have to hand down a lot of policies and procedures that their teams have to follow. Whether it’s your family or people you lead for work, asking them questions and getting their input can help everyone feel heard and valued. Sometimes someone you lead might have an idea or a process that is better than the one you came up with. Great leaders include their wealth of resources in their leadership. This includes asking questions of the people they lead.

Serving others, even when you’re the leader, is vital. There’s no title too high that excludes someone from service. There are many ways to lead and many ways to serve and the two always go hand in hand.

EXERCISE: Cast Your Vision and Begin Reeling in Your Passion

When you started your business, it was strictly a side-hustle. But now, you’re looking to grow it into a full-time business, and you are finding you still can’t stop the 9-5 grind. Most likely, you’re caught in a reactive mode instead of proactive.

Break out of this and get clear on your vision for your business by creating your crystal-clear vision statement.

To create an effective Vision Statement lies, you have to get super-specific on the details you include. Your Vision Statement should be as specific as your tax return (but a lot more fun to create.) Here’s where you will document your current and future goals for your business.

Once you’ve defined your goals, you will have a clear roadmap showing you what actions you have to take to achieve them—as well as possessing a clear picture of exactly what milestone you’ve reached at every stop on your journey.

The vision you create and embrace today will pre-determine many factors of your business, making it easier to take the right marketing direction and work steadily towards your goals.

Let's Connect & Glow Up Together! Answer the following in the comments below and find new friends that are in total alignment with you and your business vision:

🌸 What do you love about your life and want to keep or include even more?
🌸 What do you need to change or discard?

How Mentoring Others Makes You a Better Leader...

If you’re in a leadership role, you didn’t get there on your own. Someone at some point poured into you and helped shape you into the person you are! Having a mentor can make all the difference when it comes to being an effective leader. Being a mentor helps pay forward the help you’ve been given and the lifetime of knowledge you’ve accumulated.

Mentoring others makes you a better leader because it helps you

• Teach a wider range of skills
• Motivate new leaders
• Keeps you grounded

Mentoring teaches more than the obvious- Mentoring an up-and-coming leader requires more than basic skills. Mentoring someone to do a task in and of itself is a great thing to do. Passing on traditions and skills has been a form of teaching for generations. Mentoring someone in leadership surpasses practical skills and includes esoteric skills that go beyond the technical aspects of a trade. Mentoring leaders teaches the psychological and inter-personal skills that make great leaders.

Mentoring motives new leaders- Part of the role of leadership is motivating others. Getting them excited about the possibilities and feeling confident about what they can accomplish. Mentoring new leaders is the epitome of motivating. Sure, you’ll have to cover the challenges of leadership- which are many, but overall you can help motivate a new leader to be their best. This in turn, motivates you and helps remind you of the benefits of being a leader as well.

Mentoring keeps you grounded too- Being in leadership should be humbling. Serving others is what leadership is all about. Being a leader has perks and advantages, but it also has tough realities those who aren’t in leadership don’t have to face. Mentoring others keeps you grounded and reminds you that leadership is an important responsibility and that the well-being of those you lead is in a leader’s hands.

Mentoring is a wonderful way to sharpen your leadership skills and transform you as a leader. Teaching up-and-coming leaders the nuances of their roles can help them become better leaders in a shorter amount of time. Remember those who taught you along the way and be sure to pay it forward to the people you are fortunate enough to impact. Your teaching time can be learning time for you too because your mentee will surely have something new to teach you as well. Celebrate your mentees and help them achieve their best by mentoring them and pouring into their futures.

Let's Talk Heart-Centered Pricing!

Pricing at different levels allows potential customers to find the best fit for their price range.
Depending on the product, pick and choose between:
• Tiered payments
• Split-payment options
• “Lifetime” one-time lower price (that still gives you a great profit margin)
• Specials rewarding subscribers, your past and present students and clients
• “Early bird” limited-time deals
• One fixed price – no deals, no negotiations

Remember also to provide different options that allow for upselling during check-out. You don’t want to offer an overwhelming number of packages. Take into account what is most popular with your customers and think about bundling that way.

When you upsell, think of it as providing customized options. After all, some people may eagerly jump at the chance to have a watercolor pencil set added to your inspirational coloring book, while others might already own a favorite set. What you’re providing when you upsell are choices—a chance to make your offer even more perfectly suited to your ideal customer.

It’s up to each customer to say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ – but don’t give them NO choice.

🏄Add that upsell!

The 3 "C"s of Leadership Development

You’ve only just begun the leadership journey. Becoming a leader qualifies you to lead others, but your skills will grow over time making you more and more effective. Growing as a leader should always be the goal whether you’ve just begun or you’ve been leading for years.

The best leaders have things in common. They are generally-

Confident
Considerate
Consistent

Being confident, considerate, and consistent are not static things. They change all the time. Being confident wanes from time to time when life throws curve balls. Being kind and considerate of others can be a challenge when you’re overly stressed or worried. Consistency gets jeopardized when life is overwhelming or underwhelming. That’s why great leaders are always working on these areas of their lives.

Here are some practical ways to keep growing as a leader in the areas of confidence, consideration, and consistency.

Confidence- Pay attention to what gets you down. We all have the triggers that affect our confidence. It’s possible to be highly confident in one area of life and completely wrecked in another. Pay attention to what gets you down at certain points in life. Your confidence might need to be bolstered here and there, even when you’re leading. Life’s circumstances can trigger areas where you don’t feel strong. Seek to find solutions when you feel your confidence get weak and you’ll be able to overcome your insecurities and become a more effective leader in the process.

Consideration- Pay attention when you feel foul. When life’s firing on all cylinders it’s easy to be kind and considerate. People respect leaders who are fair and decent. They resist leaders who are harsh, unrealistic, and mean. Your off-duty life could be affecting your on-duty leadership. If you’re going through a tough time, it’s a great time to stretch and grow and learn new stress management techniques or how to overcome overwhelm. Whether you are leading your family, a community project or a team at work, being considerate is a primary character trait of successful leadership.

Consistency- Pay attention when you are erratic. One of the key characteristics of great leadership is dependability and consistency. That how you show up is the same today, tomorrow, and down the line. The surest thing to breach trust with others is to be erratic. When it comes to leadership, consistency is key. If you find that you are going through a season where you’re dropping the ball or you are acting in unpredictable ways, it’s a great time to grow as a leader and learn how to manage yourself and get back on track.

Leadership is not a destination, it’s a journey. Being an effective leader includes the commitment to grow. The issues you face today, won’t be the same tomorrow. The people you lead on and off duty will cause you to need new skills. Keep focused on your confidence, consideration, and consistency so you can grow and maintain high-quality leadership skills.

What is your proudest accomplishment so far?

Is it something you accomplished in your career or in your life?

So many of us define our successes and failures by our career status but our overall life can be a far more honest reflection of the progress we have made.

So what are you most proud of at this point in your journey?

Every day my inbox is blown up by entrepreneurs and creatives that went from being super pumped about their shiny new sales funnel to totally bummed when they realized they had no clue how to promote it...

wah wah wah...

so... for today's EXERCISE I'm showing you how to Determine Where To Market Your Sales Funnel🎉 🎉 🎉

Consider running a lead generation ad on your most responsive platform.

Post polls to check where your audience is most engaged on your topic.

Give behind-the-scenes peeks, share snippets of teaser content from your gift, and talk up why your new gift or product is going to be helpful for your followers.

And do get your affiliates and JV partners involved if you are running an affiliate program!!

Give them incentives too like:
• A group for affiliates only
• Time-limited challenges
• Informal contests
• Shout-outs for sharing
• Advance access to your gift

You’ll want to give them advance access anyway, but position it within your private affiliate group to get a discussion going.

As with all other areas of your marketing, it’s all about putting careful thought and research into deciding where your marketing dollars and hours are best spent.

Lift Up Leaders and Help Them Grow

Being a mentor is a wonderful thing. Helping lift up-and-coming leaders up and help them grow through a mentorship relationship helps the mentor and the mentee. Outside of mentorship, leaders can help one another out too. Your colleagues need your support to help them thrive and grow….because leadership isn’t for the weak.

Everyone faces tough times- Businesses close, projects fall apart, new launches are delayed, and things at home can impact everything else. Leaders need other leaders to help. No one understands the struggles that leaders face better than other leaders. It’s important to lift leaders up and help them grow in the process.

Be there when your colleagues need you...

Leadership is its own club. People who lead need other people who lead to be there when times are hard…whether they ask or not. If you see someone in the leadership community struggle, get in there and offer your support. Reaching out and letting someone know you care can make all the difference in how well they cope during a tough time.

Note- leaders aren’t just work folk. A struggling mother or father is a leader. If you see someone who needs support, reach out and help lift them up.

Celebrate when your colleagues win...

It’s natural to feel a tinge of jealousy when your “competition” gets a win. Great leaders celebrate big wins whether they’re for the competition or their friends. Your genuine enthusiasm for other people’s success will only make yours stronger. There’s no limit to the amount of success available to you and those you are in leadership with. Get excited about their successes and genuinely congratulate and celebrate with them.

Step in when your colleagues fall down...

Sometimes people take a fall. An illness, injury, or even a scandal can set someone in leadership back. Be willing and able to step in when your colleagues fall. Offer to take some of their workload, offer to assist them in practical ways, or take the initiative and lead for them in their absence. You’re a leader and there’s no better time to lead than when your fellow colleague can’t.

Being in leadership is a sisterhood and brotherhood unlike any other. There’s a comradery between leaders who have worked hard to encourage, mentor, and motivate their teams. They need the same encouragement themselves. Leaders lean on leaders who understand and have the unique abilities to support them and help them grow too.

As A Business Owner, You are Always Leading- On and Off Duty!

Being a leader isn’t something you take on and off like a coat. Leadership skills and operating from a leadership perspective is something leaders do on and off duty. That’s because the skill sets that make a great leader also make great

• Spouses
• Parents
• Community partners
• Volunteers
AND
• Mentors

Great leaders don’t go to work and put on their leadership hats only to take them off when they leave. Great leaders lead in all that they do. They lead by how they

• Solve problems
• Approach conflict
• Prioritize their schedule
• Treat people in their lives
AND
• Much more!

Great leaders succeed in their leadership because their leadership skills are ingrained in their everyday life. How you see them when they lead is also how you’ll see them when they’re behind closed doors.

In the truest sense, everyone is a leader one way or another. Your title might not officially place you in a leadership role, but you are leading. Whether it’s leading your family, friends, or a small group of people volunteering in the community, you are leading. Taking on a leadership mindset on and off duty can help you be a more effective leader that people willingly and enthusiastically follow.

It’s important to realize that people are always watching, and in doing so they are evaluating one another’s leadership skills and getting behind the people who are leading the way. People feel comfortable with others who are confident, considerate, and consistent in their behavior and their attitude.

Not all leaders desire to lead. Some people are placed in situations where they are required to lead despite their preference to blend into the crowd. Leadership is important though, and having the courage to lead…even when you don’t want to…is important too. Sometimes you’ve got to take the reins and do what’s best for the situation.

Whether you plan to lead or find yourself leading unexpectedly, you are going to lead at some point. Everyone is leading somehow and making things better for others in the process. Be aware of the importance of leadership and having a leadership mindset whether you are at work, at home, or in the community. Be aware of your impact on others and be sure that your leadership style is motivating and encouraging so you aren’t overrunning others or making them feel inadequate. The best leaders consistently make those they lead feel empowered and capable of whatever tasks need to be done.
