Abby is dedicated to inspiring community, moral courage and a new generation of great leaders by leading with FIRE. In her quest for workplace justice, she spent countless hours searching for resources and found none. With that realization, she set out to create the resources that were lacking. Abby now draws from her experience in leadership, as well as the wisdom she learned as a firefighter to coach others how to lead with FIRE in their lives, in the workplace and beyond. The little girls and boys who dream to be just like them depend on us sharing our experiences in hope of improvement. Since January of 2018 when my passion would no longer let me be silent for others, I had an overwhelming need to create a place of transparency and advocacy.

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. Silence Lead with fire going, abby bolt dot com Have a great day.
