Words matter. You teams may not tell you that they crave appreciation and recognition, but the right words – backed by action – can distinguish you as a great leader that builds great teams. Consider these 7 things you should be saying more often:
- “I have total confidence in you.”
- “This was great work.”
- “I want to play to your strengths.”
- “What questions do you have?”
- “What can I do better next time to support you?”
- “What do you think?”
- “This is what we’re accomplishing here.”
