If you don’t leave room for people to risk and fail, they won’t achieve what you want them to achieve.
“No matter how upset a leader may be with anyone, that person should never leave the presence of that leader without their dignity intact. This requires that leaders always consider the impact of their tongues on the lives of others,” says Ingenium’s Andre Lynch.
“Individuals learn through constructive criticism, a sense that the leader has a long-term interest in the success of their lives, and, even if disciplined or terminated, that they are not devalued in the eyes of others. If you don’t leave room for your people to risk and fail, they won’t grow, and they won’t achieve the results you want them to achieve.
“The key attributes of a successful leader are character, competency, flexibility, and empathy. The true measure of a leader is how he or she responds when the heat is on. Performance under pressure is the ultimate test of character.
“In business, my role is to service our employees, board, and customers. I live to serve them. The only effective way to become a better leader is through mentorship of a seasoned, disciplined executive who understands leadership through giving and serving.”
