  5. Kofi Annan Secretary General for the United Nations Regarding trust--“If you don’t have relationship, you start from zero each time.”

  6. TRUST (honesty, integrity, respect) • Increases speed and efficiency in the workplace/organization • Respect, integrity, and honesty are the outcomes of strong relationships built on trust • “Relationships flat-out trumps competence in building trust.”

  7. COMPASSION (caring, friendship, happiness, love) “My supervisor, or leader, seems to care about me as a person.” In a study of 10 million responders, it was found that of those who agreed with this statement: --significantly more likely to stay with the organization --have more engaged customers --substantially more productive --produce more profitability for the organization Positive Bias “For people to truly love their organization, it needs to have heart.”

  8. STABILITY (security, strength, support, peace) • Basic Needs • “Followers who have high confidence in their organization’s future are nine times as likely to be engaged in their jobs when compared to those with lower confidence.” • Transparency—give updates on progress on how you’re meeting your organization goals • Help each follower see how he or she can directly affect the success of the organization

  9. HOPE (direction, faith, guidance) • The most powerful question is “Do you feel enthusiastic about the future in your organization?” • 69% of answered yes were engaged in their job • Can be the most influential • STOP REACTING…and START INITIATING • “When high value is placed on outcomes by reacting, leaders spend little or no time thinking about what could be done because they receive more accolades for simply doing what needs to be done.” • If you are not helping people see the way forward, it’s likely no one else is either.

  10. USING YOUR STRENGTHS

  11. FINAL THOUGHTS • The most effective leaders are always investing in strengths. • The most effective leaders surround themselves with the right people and then maximize their team. • The most effective leaders understand their followers’ needs.
