  Running Time: 11:04 Date: 01/05/2012 Want to be a successful boss? Don't let your ego get in the way! Are you there for the benefit of your people, or are your people there for you? It's an important question, according to Paul Stapleton, the Australian representative of Blanchard International. The concept of "servant leadership" has been created by leading US business thinker, speaker and authorKen Blanchard, who believes that if you help your people to be successful, you'll be successful too. But don't let your ego get in the way. Following the "servant leadership" principle,Paul Stapleton suggests that you surround yourself with competent people, build skills when necessary and confidence where it's needed, be there as a sounding board, recognise good performance, commitment - and think about the flexible behaviours of leaders you yourself may have admired. Diagnose the capabilities and the needs of both your business and your people. Then, understand the value of listening, supporting, facilitating and explaining - and you're on your way to building a successful enterprise. Topics: Leadership |
