Hey, they're up in flames, Listeners. Welcome back to another quick tip Tuesday. Today I want to talk to you about how fear in leadership feared dis empowers and respect empowers. Fear based leadership turns employees attention inwards instead of outward. Staff members who are led by fear go into survival mode. They're no longer interested in the company's outcome, the quality of the product or service or customer experience. Instead, they're concerned with keeping their jobs and not stepping on toes. This can create an organizational shift in focus elsewhere from implementation of the strategy or the care of the customer. And a business that doesn't focus on the main things just doesn't last. Respect empowers. Great leaders make those around them better. They find ways to discover the best in people and enable their full potential. Their energy is infectious. They inspire others to go above and beyond the call of duty without coercion. Those inspired folks, in turn, go out, influence more people and a domino effect. A possibility occurs within the organization. When employees are empowered, they're focused externally and more likely to look outside themselves and put their attention on bettering their team and the customer experience, which is a winning strategy. So you guys fear dis empowers, respect empowers. Come on. Now, that's all I got for you guys for a quick tip Tuesday. Enjoy. Don't forget. Choose the hard right over Easy.
