Leaders and values

This months development thought is around leadership skills; there are positive leadership traits that we could all show, that would improve ourselves. One example of this is how we feel good by inspiring others.

A good leader acknowledges individuals' values without judgement or criticism. Values are key, and individual to each of us. Look and listen for the values of those around you.

People use their values to judge whether they've done a well, or badly at things; so when you want somebody to really appreciate your praise think about how you can link your praise with their values. You'll be encouraging them to praise themselves, as well as accept your praise.
