3 Way's to Show You Value Your People

Jeffrey Hayzlett

1. Culture – People are our greatest asset in an organization, but do they think we feel the same way? Here are leadership signs that you are creating a great culture
   1. Allowing your people to have entrepreneurial independence to pursue and grow opportunities and possibilities while still demanding results.
   2. Aligning the values of the people who work for you with the values of the company, so you have a shared common goal
   3. Listening to your people and admitting when you’re wrong to create an environment of trust built on real relationships.
   4. Creating transparency by being open, honest, and vulnerable
   5. Being decisive yet grounded by maintaining confidence through the chaos and uncertainty.
2. Inclusivity
   1. Be willing to bring a diverse group of people to the table. Ages, demographics, race, sex, etc.
   2. To create a welcoming environment, you need to learn how to welcome all environments.
3. Giving Back – As a leader, are you giving back to your people, community, and beyond?
   1. Your giving should be measured and directed.
   2. Your giving doesn’t always have to be money.
   3. Do you empower people in your organization to give back?
   4. What will people remember you as? Someone who invested in their people, or someone who cared only about themselves.
