4 Quick Tips to Connect with Others
Healthy leaders recognize that when their team members feel good about themselves, they naturally perform better���meaning they feel comfortable with themselves. They have that healthy degree of inner-security that we have been talking about.
With this insight, secure leaders can be intentional about affirming others. It���s a practical way of moving a person toward being more confident and secure.�� Those types of connections have more power than you can ever imagine.
Whether it���s part of your natural leadership behavior or not, you need to be intentional in doing it. Here are four steps that will help you get there ���
Train your mindset so that it will support your heart in this effort.
– Be intentional to re-train how you see, feel, and think about other, and your heart attitude will follow.
Develop your strategy and tactics to be more intentional in encouraging and affirming others.
– Accept that you will have to be vulnerable and genuinely open yourself to make this connection.
– Begin to observe others and see them as valuable human beings that are struggling to gain a foothold with their own security and confidence.
– Look for ways to affirm them, remembering it must be true and genuine. You may even want to write a short one or two sentence script if it seems difficult to do.
Look for a good opportunity and deliver your message. At first this may be a bit mechanical for those who are highly results-oriented, but it will get more comfortable. Soon it will start to come more naturally.
Make it a habit and use tools if needed. There was a story about a senior vice-president at Bellsouth (now part of AT&T) who put ten dimes in her pocket each morning. Every time she affirmed someone, she moved a dime to the other pocket. Her goal was to move all ten dimes over before the end of the day. How is that for being intentional? It may sound hokey, but it worked. She was an amazing leader who got great results, and people did not want to let her down.
Remember���the goal is to become more intentional in connecting with the hearts of your team (and others too).
