5 Green Lights for Leaders

If you are a leader, here are 5 things you should be acting on every day!

1. Thank 5 people every day for something they are doing: great attitude, following through, solving a problem, helping someone else.

2. Change before you have to
.  Have enough self-awareness and situational awareness to know when you re causing problems instead of solving them. The willingness to change is one your most effective tools.

3. Fight bureaucracy of all kinds
.  Clear the way for others, then you get out of their way.

4. Forgive:  that means let it go! 
How many times have you seen immature  behavior in the workplace because someone just won’t let something go?  Forgiveness doesn’t mean you ignore the issue.  Be the adult in the room and talk about how to come to an understanding and then don’t pick it up again.
5. Extend trust first
: People make mistakes and  will disappoint you. Get over it – everybody has been burned and everyone has burned someone else. Get beyond your own discomfort and show people you actually care and have enough grace to let them screw up.
