Show Notes:

• They need to feel loved because it's the right thing to do (part of our Noblesse Oblige) - but some won't reciprocate what you pour into them.... why?
• They need to have autonomy, but with that autonomy must come extreme clarity on what, why, and how
• They need to be held accountable - mediocrity doesn't help anyone - but you must establish the criteria as to why they are not accomplishing what you require of them; do they know how, can they and do they want to?
• Trustworthiness - high integrity, truthfulness, transparency, good stewardshipLoyalty - showing up early, staying late, attending company functions, asserting themselves to honor the company and its people, being a brand ambassador, saying, "tell me what needs to be done, and I'll do it"
• People WANT strong leadership - top-performing companies have strong leaders.
• Strong leaders help to create more leaders, not followers. One of the dichotomies of leadership
• Implementing EOS- empower your employees to solve issues on their own
• People come to work for people, not companies.
• The 5 Love Languages
