I’m determined to be a better manager in 2022. I want to keep a sharper eye on revenue goals. I want to be more proficient at using our internal systems. I want to be more competent at handling managerial tasks. And I want to do a better job of serving the people on my team. I like to think that I do a fairly good job at my role but when I take stock of myself, I definitely see room for growth. I want to be more patient (a struggle for me when I’m under stress). I want to listen more than I talk. I want to find more ways to give praise. Today’s HR Leader story talks about being a big-hearted leader. Don’t dismiss this one as a fluff piece. It’s so not. Leadership coach and consultant Dan Rockwell details the urgency and the benefits of leading with a big heart. He’s right. I’ve seen it. Leaders who are genuinely empathetic are able to boost engagement and generate loyalty among their teams. And they do it while still staying laser-focused on goals and revenue priorities. How can I serve you better with this brief? Let me know! And if you enjoy this brief, tell others so they can benefit also.
