Great leaders are able to motivate their employees by helping them see the benefits of moving along with them – towards their vision.
They would not pose general vision statements such as – ‘my goal is to double the profits in 2 years.’ An employee may just think -‘So what?’
He would, in every conversation talk about what his goal would mean to them – job security, stability, new flex time policies, more day-care for working mothers etc. He would articulate the benefits for them all along and never leave them guessing.
