Good morning ,
I attending a breakfast meeting last week at 7:00 (yes that would be a.m.) to hear David Spivey, who is the Director of Leadership Programs with the University of Texas at Dallas. Normally, I don’t agree to attend anything at 7:00 a.m. unless it includes my running shoes or my yoga mat, however, I was asked nicely, the breakfast was free and I was very interested in hearing what David had to say.
I knew I would learn something from David and most likely be able to assist my clients from his advise and knowledge, and I always enjoy working a room of non-morning people when I’m so a morning person; they despise me and I have such fun!
David spoke on Cultivating a Culture of Leadership. A survey was done by Gallup asking, Why do GOOD people leave jobs? 80,000 HR Surveys, the #1 reason for leaving, listen up bosses, people left because they didn’t have a good relationship with their manager.
So here are the Top 10 things people said they want out of a leader, get your pencils ready because this is important stuff. (I copied these in no particular order).
- Clear Vision
- Empowerment
- Clear Communication
- Positive Energy
- Core Values
- Integrity
- To Listen
- Good Reputation
- Recognition
- Be Transparent
