Inspire (Leadership)

Inspiring is key for a team to be motivated and for performance not to decline. Inspiring leaders motivate the entire workforce, encourages them to take on new challenges and achieve higher performance.

 

Bain & Company conducted research in which they asked 2,000 people what inspired them in their bosses. Although the result resulted in a list of 33 traits, they found that just one was enough to multiply the chances of being an inspiring leader: being focused. With being focused, they refer to an attitude of full attention that allows leaders to remain calm in stressful situations, be empathetic, listen actively and transmit that calmness to the entire team.

 

And in what other ways can a leader be inspiring? Involving the team in the company's achievements, cultivating equity, enthusiastically thanking the work they do and praising the effort they put into it.

 

With a motivated team, the new objectives will be assumed with more enthusiasm and the problems that may arise will be solved more effectively.
