These ideas can transform you into a leader people want to follow.
Some people are born to lead. Almost effortlessly, they are able to gain the trust and respect of their teams while engendering an atmosphere of cooperation and collaboration. Other managers foster a work environment that ranges from noticeably unpleasant to openly hostile. Most of us fall somewhere in between these extremes. Since staffers are unlikely to perform well, let alone thrive when they feel unmotivated or unappreciated, we may wonder, “How can we inspire our team to achieve outstanding success?” Dr. Dominic McLoughlin’s tremendously helpful book, Be a Better Manager in Five Minutes a Day: Create Trust in Your Team, not only addresses this common workplace conundrum but equips readers with reasonable tools to improve.
