Leading

I have really enjoyed learning how to become a good leader. I think my favorite part of this week was the talk by President Kimball. I generally always like reading their talks but this one really resonated with me. My favorite part was how he talked about Christ being a listening leader. That is something that is so important in not only running your business but also in your daily life. Everyone wants to be listened to and to feel like they are actually heard. I know that as an employee I enjoy having my boss respond to me in away that I can tell they heard me. Too many people listen but don’t hear anything. When you own your own business you have to make sure that you are listening to your employees, when you do they will be more willing to make sure your business runs as well as they can. The other thing that this talk made me think of was responding with out being condescending. This is something that really makes a difference in how people are going to respond to you. I want to make sure that I always treat people with respect and in a way they deserve. $100 challenge is coming along nicely. I’m really impressed with how smoothly it is working out to be. Hopefully it stays that way.
