Why is it important to keep your people informed? Listen in and learn why keeping people informed and up to date raises morale and turns them into self-motivated team mates. People are inquisitive by nature. If we don't give them the right information they will often get hold of rumor and inaccurate information. To promote efficiency and raise morale, leaders should keep people informed and tell them not only what must be done but why. Giving people the right amount of information engages their passion and helps them to invest in what your organization is driving to accomplish. Join us as we discuss this key to effective leadership.

In Principle 5, Know your people and look out for their welfare, listen in and learn why it’s not enough to know the names and birthdays of your people. It’s important to understand what motivates them and what is important to them. Commit the time and effort to listen to and learn about them. Showing your genuine concern for the people you manage and lead builds trust and respect for you as a leader. Merely telling your people you care about them has no meaning unless they see you demonstrating it through concrete actions. They assume that if you fail to care for them daily, you will fail them when the going gets tough. Can you demonstrate sincere concern for others? Learn here the important link between caring and leading.

In Principle 4, Set the Example, learn exactly how powerful your own example can be to those around you. Learn why Army leaders are taught that they can't ask others to do what they won't do themselves. What signals are you sending by your example? Is it possible that you may be sabotaging yourself by not knowing the effects of the powerful warning, "I can't hear what you're saying because your actions are drowning it out!" The example we set-- in appearance, bearing, and, especially in the words we choose to use on a daily basis-- shapes our every success and frames our every failure. Listen in to understand more clearly why setting the example is crucial to effective leadership.

In Principle 3, Seek Responsibility, learn the importance of taking a proactive approach to solving problems. Learn why military leaders are taught to assume responsibility for situations as they proceed through their day. There was a time when a leader's AOR (Area of Responsibility) moved with him as he walked down the street and included everything within his field of view. Is this something you could do, too, in your daily work? Learn here the important link between seeking out the challenges you face versus waiting for those challenges to find you.
