The Energy BusFIVE WAYS TO LOVE YOUR PASSENGERS
(Continued)The more you recognize them for doing things right
the more they will do things right. Feed the positive
dog inside them and watch it grow.
- Serve Them—A great leader once said, the higher
you get in an organization the more it is your duty to
serve the people below you rather than having the peo-
ple below serve you. The key is to serve their growth,
their future, their career, and their spirits so they enjoy
work, life, and being on your bus. The more you serve
their growth the more they will help you grow. - Bring Out the Best in Them—We saved this one for
last because it’s the most important. When you love
someone you want the best for them. You want them
to be successful and happy. You want to bring out the
best in them. Thus the best way any leader can
demonstrate their love for their team is to help each
person discover their strengths and provide an oppor-
tunity for that person to utilize them. When you cre-
ate a system that provides a way for your people to
shine you not only bring out the best in them but in
the rest of the team and company as well. If you re-
ally want to love your team, help them do what they
do best. It’s that simple.
