A study done by DDI and Harris Interactive found that 98% of employees who have good leaders are motivated to do their best, while only 11% of employees with ineffective managers felt motivated to give their best.
Being able to bring out the best in others is a skill that involves just 10% natural inclination; the other 90% has to be deliberate, says Wellins: “It can’t be learned by listening to a lecture or reading examples,” he says. “It needs to be practiced, reinforced, and used day to day.”
Here are six of their daily habits:
1. THEY FOCUS ON THE PERSON’S STRENGTHS
2. THEY EMPATHIZE
3. THEY GIVE RECOGNITION
4. THEY CONNECT THE RIGHT PEOPLE
“Multipliers take the time to understand the capabilities of each individual so that they can connect employees with the right people and the right opportunities—thereby building a virtuous cycle of attraction, growth, and opportunity,” she writes in an article for Harvard Business Review.
5. THEY DON’T MICROMANAGE
6. THEY CREATE SAFE ENVIRONMENTS
“They generate an intensity that demands high-level work from the team, but they also have a high tolerance for mistakes and understand the importance of learning along the way,” she writes. “So they create mental spaces in which people can flourish.”
