Lead by example and set a positive tone from "summary" of Joy at Work by Dennis W. Bakke
As leaders, it is important for us to understand that our actions speak louder than our words. We must lead by example and show our team members the way forward through our own actions. By setting a positive tone in the workplace, we can inspire others to follow suit and create a harmonious working environment where everyone feels motivated and appreciated. When we lead by example, we demonstrate the values and behaviors that we expect from our team members. This could mean arriving on time for meetings, treating others with respect, and taking ownership of our mistakes. By showing that we are willing to hold ourselves accountable and act with integrity, we can earn the trust and respect of our team. Setting a positive tone involves creating a work culture that is inclusive, supportive, and encouraging. This could involve recognizing and celebrating the achievements of our team members, providing constructive feedback in a respectful manner, and fostering a sense of camaraderie and teamwork. When our team members see that we are approachable and supportive, they are more likely to feel comfortable sharing their ideas and concerns with us. By leading by example and setting a positive tone, we can create a workplace where joy and fulfillment are not just buzzwords, but a reality for everyone. When we show our team members that we value their contributions and care about their well-being, they are more likely to feel engaged, motivated, and committed to their work. In this way, we can build a strong, cohesive team that is capable of achieving great things together.
