Principles Every Leader Must Have
b'
CEO number one, takes time to walk into his company\\u2019s locations (over 20) at least twice a year.\\xa0 During this visit he takes time to talk with the people who work there.\\xa0 He knows most of them and calls them by name.\\xa0 He takes time to get to know his team.
\\xa0
When our second CEO goes out to the company\\u2019s locations, she doesn\\u2019t just say hi and go away.\\xa0 No, she is more of a hands-on person.\\xa0 Taking time to listen to the people, but also taking time to help them and pitch in in doing the work.\\xa0 She believes none of us, no matter what level we work at, are do good to get down and do the work.
\\xa0
Our third CEO takes time to talk with people when he is out in the field.\\xa0 Actually, pulling up a chair and having a conversation.\\xa0 Getting a cup of coffee in the break room and sitting with 5-6 employees and learning about stuff that no one else seems to be aware of.
\\xa0
Three different CEO\\u2019s, but all with one common thread \\u2013 they are leaders.
\\xa0
Leaders know the people who work for them by name.\\xa0 They walk in the field with those people.\\xa0 They listen to them and make them understand that those at the top do care.
\\xa0
The greatest resource you have as a leader is your people.\\xa0 When you walk down the road and look behind you, you see one of two things.
\\xa0
People are either following you or they are not.\\xa0 If there is no one behind you, then the best you can be is a positional leader and that just won\\u2019t get it done. (Positional leader is someone who has the title, but that is all)
