LEAD TO WIN : No 2 - Building Relationships - Are you a boss or a leader?

"The glue that holds all relationships together -- including the relationship between the leader and the led is trust, and trust is based on integrity.” - Brian Tracy
“A boss creates fear, a leader confidence. A boss fixes blame, a leader corrects mistakes. A boss knows all, a leader asks questions. A boss makes work drudgery, a leader makes it interesting. A boss is interested in himself or herself, a leader is interested in the group." - Russell H. Ewing

Do you consider yourself a boss or a leader? How would your direct reports label you? Unfortunately there may be times when you report to a “boss” instead of to a “leader”.

Here are some tips that will help improve relationships:

  • Be receptive to coaching or direction from your leader
  • Focus on expectations and understand desired results
  • Stay current on required work skills
  • Share your successes and accomplishments
  • Escalate issues and problems immediately so your leader is not blind sided
  • Be loyal to and support your organization; avoid gossip
  • If integrity issues exist, escalate them with facts and specific events
  • Solicit feedback from your leader and/or direct reports to assess what’s working well and what is not
  • Consider how you respond to situations; are you contributing to a non-productive relationship?
  • Key questions to ask to diffuse any situation and build relationships are:
  1. “What could I do to help?
  2. “How can I improve the situation, issue, etc”
  3. “So you think I could . . . “

Learn from your experiences and model your leadership behaviors after a leader you admire!
