价值传递型领导者的8大特质

    5. 要随机行事，不要事事都被他人预见

    按照不同的路线穿过办公区，每天早晨在新员工办公桌前驻步，与其闲聊，每天戴风格奇特的领带，或宣布每周二为小礼服加T恤衫日。你有任何想法都可以付诸实施。这样做的意义在于，这种意外会使员工感兴趣，保持高昂的士气，更不用说培养一种创意文化，即所有人都可以尝试新事物，将失败作为学习工具。

    6. 要坦率，不要粗鲁。

    从领导者的角度来看，必须始终明确一点：你在什么情况下应该与员工保持一致。如果人们声称总是出现意外的变化，这说明作为领导者，你并没有有效地以开放的态度传达自己的意图、目标和指导。

    7. 要信任，但不轻信

    有人认为，建立信任最好的方式，就是相信他人，如果其他人愿意接受这种信任，这确实是一种不错的方式。愿意相信他人的态度，与信任本身一样宝贵。

    但作为领导者，你需要知道，每个人都想占用你一些时间，却并非所有人都抱有最好的目的。有些人只是希望能被其他人“看到”自己与领导者在一起。有些人认为他们的计划才是最重要的。当然应该给其他人一个机会，但不能将信任感与值得信赖混为一谈。

    8. 永远保持一颗感恩的心。

    好消息是，领导力并非由职位、人气、地位或外貌决定。相反，这是一种通过个人选择表现出来的可操作行为——这种选择能够使一个人具备领导能力，而不会削弱这种能力。

    5. Be random, but not predictable.

    Take a different route through the halls, stop by a new employee’s desk every morning to chit-chat, wear an outlandish tie every day, or declare Tuxedo T-shirt Tuesdays. You get the idea. The point is that surprises keep people interested and morale high, not to mention breed a culture of creativity where it’s OK to try new things and use failure as a learning tool.

    6. Be candid, but not rude.

    From a leadership perspective, one thing should always be clear: where you stand with your employees. If people claim that unexpected changes always arise, then you, as a leader, are not doing an effective job in openly communicating your intent, goals and guidance.

    7. Be trusting, but not gullible.

    It has been said that the best way to build trust is to extend it, which is fine as long as the other person is ready to receive. A willingness to trust can be just as valuable as trust itself.

    However, realize that as a leader, everybody wants a piece of your time and not always with the best intentions. Some people just like to be “seen” with the leader. Others think their initiatives are the only ones that matter. Certainly give people a chance, but don’t misconstrue the perception of trust with being trustworthy.

    8. Be thankful. Always.

    The good news about leadership is that it’s not determined by position, tenure, status or good looks. Rather, it is an actionable behavior personified through personal choice — a choice that enables rather than disables.

    Make your choices count.
