5 Ways to Love Your Passengers



5 ways to Love your Passengers:

1) Make Time for Them – Spend time with your team. Meet with them individually. Get to know them as people, not numbers. And while you are with them. Be engaged in the present moment. Don’t be thinking about 10 things you have to do that day or the 10 other people you need to meet with. Really be with that person and focus your energy on them

2) Listen to Them – Empathy is the key. Listen with your heart and care about what they have to say. When you ask someone how they are doing, an easy way to show you are listening is to actually wait for the answer and make eye contact.

3) Recognize Them – Praise your players when they are doing things right. The more you recognize them for doing things right the more they will do things right. Feed the positive dog inside them and watch it grow.

4) Serve Them – The higher you get in an organization the more it is your duty to serve the people below you rather than having the people below you serve. The key is to serve their growh, their future, their career, and their spirits so they enjoy work, life, and being on your bus. The more you serve their growth the more they will help you grow.

5) Bring Out The Best In Them – The best way any leader can demonstrate their love for their team is to help each person discover their strengths and provide an opportunity for that person to utilize them.
