Leaders Do The Little Things…and like the little things
Posted by Michael Poll on March 31, 2010
Sometimes the big things make us happy. An anniversary, a birthday, a graduation. But after that event, what are you left with? If we only enjoy and look forward to the big events, most everything else feels really less special.
The same thing goes for leaders. Leaders do big things…like giving public recognition, leading a team to complete and deliver a project or looking for ways to promote somebody they work with.
In then end though….others will likely remember the “small stuff” that others do. Saying thank you in a meaningful and sincere way. Rolling up shirt sleeves to assist someone during a stressful and busy time. Providing some encouraging words. Loaning somebody a book on a topic of interest of their development.
What’s one “little thing” you will do as a leader today?
