You are a leader. It doesn’t matter if your title is Chairman of the Board or 3rd Assistant to the Supply Room Manager, you must use your natural leadership skills if you want others to do what you want.

Today, I have for you a list of 10 smart ways leaders can bring out the best in others. See how well developed your leadership skills are. Give yourself 1 point for each of these that you already do. Here they are:

1. Instead of saying you care, show them.
2. Have a vision and inspire people by staying true to your vision.
3. Be passionate when talking about your vision.
4. Clearly communicate how you expect them to fulfill that vision.
5. Listen to their concerns.
6. Communicate how following your vision benefits THEM.
7. Surround yourself with people who are “wind beneath your wings”; eliminate or minimize contact with the rest as best you can.
8. Delegate tasks that help others maximize their talents.
9. Show appreciation — a sincere, written “thank you” can be a major (and no cost) motivator.
10. Keep your word.

I hope you’re a perfect 10. These are 10 smart ways leaders can bring out the BEST in others!
