We All Need Encouragement

Brett Cooper,

Leaders Encourage The Heart

It’s pretty safe to say that most of us do better work when we feel encouraged by our leaders. It’s always nice to have someone at your back, cheering you on. And this is a practice that we can all get into, regardless of your level in the organization. Recognize the members of your team when they do something awesome. And rewards don’t have to be costly, the point is just to recognize and encourage.

Integris Performance Advisors consultant, Dan Schwab, and co-founder and managing partner, Evans Kerrigan, talk about The Leadership Challenge and the importance of Encouraging the Heart.
