How would you rate your ability to inspire those around you? This ability is what distinguishes exceptional leaders from the rest.
Today, I talk about the importance of this ability. I share research on the subject, and I offer four specific methods for developing it. I contrast telling your team what to do with engaging them to do what needs to be done for mutual benefit. I note the importance of understanding your needs, my needs, and our needs. I stress the need for transparency and a voice for everyone, and I talk about the importance of a common, integrated set of values.
