Be someone they can trust.
A great leader or manager is someone who can be trusted.
What are the things that will make people trust you?
Number one, don't talk behind their backs.
You don't want to be super friendly to them.
And then when they are not here,
you criticize them and you talk negatively about them,
then they won't trust you.
So be careful with that.
Number to be human.
Don't be unemotional, less robots that comments people.
Use your human skills like empathy, comprehension,
emotional intelligence, social intelligence, and so on.
People who don't want to work for robots,
they want to bond with humans,
will see most of these skills in this course here.
Don't forget to apply them.
Don't forget to apply empathy.
Don't forget to apply all these amazing skills.
Number three, be someone they can learn from.
You can give orders,
but also be someone that can learn from.
It can be by asking you
questions or by looking at how you act.
You want to be a role model for them.
You want to inspire them for greatness.
You will be able to connect with them easier if they
can evolve and be better version of themselves,
if they can be inspired.
How can you do it?
Just remember that your actions
speak louder than your words each morning.
Ask yourself this question here.
How can I be the best version of myself?
And you show them support,
or at least you show them that there are
certain people that they can reach out to for support.
And that way you are going to be an inspiration.
Be the boss, leader,
or manager, but don't be their friends.
This one is a tricky one.
You want to lead them,
but you don't want them to see you as their friends.
You want them to see you as a friendly leader or manager.
The issue is being friends with others in
this particular social setting is that they can
forget the boundaries that they
are in a professional setting.
Then when you are their friends,
it would be more difficult for you to be
respected and give orders.
You want to be friendly,
but you don't want to be their friends.
It's a small distinction,
but an important one.
To understand it better,
just ask yourself this question here.
Who is my friend and who is friendly?
You will then understand the difference.
If a friend gives you an order,
you more likely to follow it?
Or would you rather follow an order from
a manager and a leader that is friendly?
It's a small distinction,
but an important one.
In order to be friendly but not their friends,
just remind yourself that you
are in a professional setting.
Of course, there are exceptions
depending on the company culture,
but these are the thoughts that you should consider.
