Being a good leader isn’t about manipulating people into following you. It’s all about getting people to believe in you and your vision for the future. If you can reach out to people and show them a clear vision that they want to be a part of, they will follow you for a long time.
Jason Pendergist knows that the key to leadership is experience, and putting oneself in the shoes of others. Emotional empathy goes a long way in being a leader. You have to know how to read people and how to motivate them. In the corporate context, good leadership is also contingent upon being able to see things from your team’s perspective, and putting each individual team member in positions to succeed. This develops confidence, helps you achieve your corporate goals for your bosses, and creates trust between you and your team.
Leaders are typically smart people. They wouldn’t be in leadership positions, at least in businesses, if they weren’t. But good leaders aren’t only book-smart and people-smart, they’re emotionally smart. They can take the world in from different perspectives, put themselves in other people’s shoes, and find ways to understand why conflicts come up in the workplace.
