We all want to feel like we matter.
The wisest leaders I know are masters of helping us feel like we matter.
How do they do that? They…
- LISTEN to us, intently.
- ASK us questions, to probe our perspectives, opinions, assumptions, values.
- TREAT us as equals and volunteers, not subordinates.
- INVITE us into conversations and explorations around consequential stuff.
The very best of those leaders do these things, not as an act, but because it’s part of their fabric.
