The Influential Leader

75% of employees quit because of their manager. And their leadership (Gallup) Credit to Dora Vanourek. Follow her for more. Original post: __________ Poor culture doesn’t happen overnight. It builds slowly, one overlooked issue at a time. Your high performers notice everything. They see who contributes and who doesn't. When you tolerate mediocrity, you silently tell your best people their effort doesn't matter. What great leaders do differently: 1. Set the bar clearly ? Define what success looks like - no guessing ? Write down the rules so no one’s confused 2. Address issues early ? Small problems become big ones when ignored ? Have tough conversations while solutions are simple 3. Be present, not just available ? Prioritize 1:1s to ensure people know they matter ? Truly listen - and catch things early 4. Do what you say, every time ? Track promises. Deliver on them ? Show visible progress to build trust 5. Celebrate what actually matters ? Recognize the behaviours you want more of ? Skip the vague praise - be specific What you tolerate becomes your culture. Make sure it’s one your top performers want to stay in. __________ Become a better leader in just 1 minute a day.

It took me 8 years to realize: True leadership isn't about commanding; it's about serving. Credit to Victoria Repa. Follow her for more. Original post: __________ You don’t just give orders. That might yield short-term results. You guide, mentor, and uplift. And that’s the only way to build a strong business. To bring out the best in your team, you must give your best: Want the best performance? ? Give them the best opportunities and resources. Want quality changes? ? Provide quality feedback. Want better productivity at work? ? Give them better rest and recharge conditions. Want your team to grow? ? Provide them with learning resources and mentorship. Want more victories and new achievements? ? Celebrate the team's achievements with gratitude and enthusiasm. Your team’s success is your success. Their growth is your responsibility. If you’re not serving, you’re not leading. A leader is not the one who is #1 in the team. A leader is the one who treats everyone in the team as #1. __________ Become a better leader in just 1 minute a day. Get daily leadership insights, trusted by 1.6M+ followers on LinkedIn.

Treating your people well is essential in any business. Be kind. Credit to Rachel Mitchell. Follow her for more. Original post: __________ Imagine this: You walk into the office (or log onto Zoom), and the energy is off. Your best people seem disengaged. Conversations feel forced. Productivity? A fraction of what it could be. A man messaged me about how he hired a manager and caught him being rude to a staff member. He noticed the energy around the office has been “off” ever since. The manager’s actions are revealing that he is not as “positive” as he thought. He is starting to think that sales are down because the team doesn’t like the way he manages them. So he asked each of them separately if they think he is kind with his approach? The answer was no. They revealed that he was micromanaging and threating their jobs daily. After analyzing thriving businesses that have the same target market as his, I shared this: It’s not the market. It’s not the economy. It’s leadership. Because how you treat people when no one is watching determines whether they stay when everyone else is leaving. ? A paycheck keeps people working. ? Respect makes them loyal. ? Appreciation makes them go the extra mile. The companies winning today? They don’t just retain talent. They inspire it. Be the leader people talk about when they say, “That job changed my life.” Not because of the work. Because of how they were treated. Be kind. Be human. It pays better than you think. Kindness in leadership is not weak. It is a strength that builds loyalty and trust. __________ Become a better leader in just 1 minute a day.

If they don’t value you, leave. Here are 3 signs it’s time to walk away: 1. Your worth isn’t recognized They take you for granted. No appreciation. No respect. No growth. 2. You’re drained, not inspired The right people energize you. The wrong ones exhaust you. 3. You’re forcing what should flow Effort is good. Begging for basic respect isn’t. Walking away isn’t quitting. It’s choosing yourself. The right people will see your value. The wrong ones never will. Written by Adam Danyal. __________ Become a better leader in just 1 minute a day.

Hola my friends from LinkedIn, day 87 in the office in Moldova. Long day, a lot of work! #bpg

You’re hiring the wrong people (I learned this the hard way) Credit to Rob Dance. Follow him for more. Original post: __________ Experience looks great on paper. But it’s potential that truly drives performance. The right hire? They’ve got attitude, not just a polished CV. Here’s the six signs to look out for in high performers: 1) They ask uncomfortable questions. ? Not to challenge authority—but to understand the bigger picture. 2) They take feedback without flinching. ? You can be honest. They don’t take it personally. They improve. 3) They learn beyond their role. ? They want to know how it all works. Future leaders in the making. 4) They’re resourceful when no one’s watching. ? No hand-holding needed. They figure things out. 5) They notice what’s broken—but don’t complain. ? Instead of whining, they show up with solutions. They get things done. 6) They care about the team’s win, not just their own. ? They celebrate others. They share credit. They lift people up. You can teach skills. You can’t teach mindset. Do you agree? __________ Become a better leader in just 1 minute a day. Get daily leadership insights, trusted by 1.6M+ followers on LinkedIn. Sign up free → LeadershipRight.com
