Employee Leadership in 3 Easy Steps

Written by Deborah Merkin | 09/29/2014

Employee leadership is critical to maintaining employee morale and motivating employees toward organizational goals. Here are three tips to ensure you lead your employees effectively.

  1. Accountability- Leaders hold both themselves and their employees accountable for their actions. Hold yourself as a leader to a high standard and your employees will follow. This leads to greater team camaraderie and more productive individuals.
  2. Respect- Respect is contagious! Yes, it's cliche but it's also true. People expect leaders to respect them and in turn trust leaders more when they respect them. Without respect your leadership capacity will be limited.
  3. Authenticity- Be yourself, by honest and be authentic. Don't ask people to do things that you can't deliver on and don't pretend to lead in a way you can't effectively. Be yourself and your leadership skills will blossom.
