They have their own opinions expressed by business partners.
You can think of a movie when you read the word “leader” GladiatterWherever Russell does, guides his people to fight to defeat the barbarians, and the army follows it without any question. Or you can think of the late Queen Elizabeth II of the UK, which their people honored by her people without ruling them. Or maybe you think of a high school football team coach who comes with dramas, showing his team soft and harsh love to counter this challenge of championship, this impressive “You’ve got it!” Speech
You can read countless books on ways to use leadership and leadership effectively, but I’m going to share some important concepts I have used, which I believe is basically the reason that a great leader can lead a result that can never be achieved otherwise.
Concepts that i Will not Highlighting is becoming authentic, making all decisions, demanding loyalty or making false hopes of greatness or magical speeches.
In fact, these principles are completely opposed.

Be present
The Japanese have a slightly sophisticated word called “Jemba” or “Go”, which is always resonant with me and has been the center of my actions.
Stay here Show your team that you are with them, and when you see or hear something that doesn’t look exactly right or preventing the team or the company from going in the right direction, go and take a look at what is happening.
As a biotech leader, I am going to use a special example of this concept in one of my startups. The company with whom I worked was doing research and development using micro organisms, and working with these organisms needed to be careful in ways to work, so that the samples with whom they were working were free of any pollution and free.
The laboratory began experiencing a ton of pollution, and was stopping progress. The staff and the team were pulling their hair out of what was happening. Some questions were asked, but the team got stuck. So, I asked the lab manager, “Hey, can I walk around the lab with you and let’s talk about what you are seeing and show me the process?”
For a second, the manager was hesitant, but then he had a breath of relief. We started walking and I gently asked questions, listened and took what I had said. And then I saw him… the cleaning solution he was using was not allowed to work, and the staff was never trained on this particular solution, because it was new. I asked the lab manager what we should do, and immediately. , They want to enforce training and get people fast on it.
They went back to their desk and started the next steps.
Consider what happened here. Did I tell them what to do? Did I ask them how could this be and how did they plan to fix it? No – I was just present and saw what was happening for myself.
Make the work, not the person
Very rare is the person who is not right for a job. Nineteen hundred percent, it is the level of their preparation in performing a special task. It is an incredible concept, which, when implemented well, can change a person’s work production. It is also important to know that this is a dynamic process. There are four types of task preparation.
Level 1 If that person is unable to work and ready.
Level 2 If the person is unable to do this but is ready to work.
Level 3 Is that person capable but not ready to work – it is the most difficult to manage it.
Level 4 Is that person worth and ready to work?
Level 1, it is important to know that the person does not really know how you want to do this work, and you can’t just “detect them” because they may not know where to start. Therefore, this is the place where you really spend some time to guide each step to guide them, to relieve their fears and to perform work.
For Level 2, usually the result is not getting your custom because the person is “like Yup, I get it” when they really don’t do it, so it is important to make sure that with some small investigations, make sure they can go about the first two steps of the task. If they say, “I will find out,” then you will know that you need to provide further guidance.
There is a recreational animal to deal with Level 3. That person really knows how to work, they just don’t want to do it. Are they busy with other things? Do they have trouble with the burden of their work? Are they just fed up with something else, and you need to know what’s going on? This is the place where a good 1: 1 chat can help (or maybe many of them).
For Level 4, the completion of this task must not be micro management – let this person walk and supply it with it, and you will be happy with the results.

Be your authentic self and do the right thing
Make fake until you apply it. Don’t excuse anyone you are not. Whenever I have been asked about “doing this in this way” by an investor or board member or “you need to be less like this …”, it just doesn’t work for me, usually because their request is to create a fundamental change in my personality that is not real for me, in fact they are not looking for me to help me.
Be true on your values. Work with integrity. Do not lie, steal or cheat to move forward. We all have a basic compass where we know the wrong. Just do the right thing. It seems easy, but honestly, you will be surprised how many people in this world think that moving forward comes at all costs.
Really take care of your people
Unless you are operating a fully -run business by AI agents, you are working to conclude. Work to ensure that your people feel respected, heard, mentor, appreciated and satisfied with their work.
It’s difficult.
You don’t need to bend you backwards, but “throwing money on the issue” is not always an answer. If you have a small organization, it can be a more personal confrontation. Take advantage of your managers for big organizations. Each one is different, so a blanket view will not work. I have learned that there are basic areas of standards where identity stimulates staff.
Oral identity: These people like to listen to “good job” and sometimes in front of others.
Support: These people want to do something with you or run with you through their progress, so they feel that they are needing teachers they may need.
Development: Learning new tasks or cross -training helps some people feel stable. This is especially important for more frequent working workers. Also, training opportunities or ordinary workplace training can be helpful, such as how to work with fellow workers.
The amount: Yes, some people primarily encourage money.
Quality Time: Some people need a structure or they just want to sit with you or talk to some water cooler. When you ask about their family or the coming journey, they feel. Generally, these people are also looking for one of the other recognizable elements, but it is actually their top.

Keeping yourself even
Listen, pulling every night and eating McDonald’s for every meal seems to be a bold and “determination statement” for your team, but in fact, it is usually the opposite of stimulus. I have noticed that making time with my family or for my workout helps people see that I am human too. This is not about the balance of work life, but for example, about demonstrating things that are mostly important time. They can definitely do and do, but it should not be a way of life.
Being a leader is complicated. This is not just about strategies, vision and mission, but more importantly, how do you perform everyone in the business.
