#1 of FOUR BRAIN-BASED LEADERSHIP SECRETS – The 1st leadership secret is: IDENTIFICATION

 

When a team knows that you care about them, then they’ll listen and engage. When your team (and others) feel that you are part of the ‘tribe’ with them, and not apart from the ‘tribe’, then the team can move mountains.

“Evolved leaders win the trust and support of the people through their complete identification with them. The interests of the people are naturally promoted because they become the interests of the leader as well.” – Lao-tzu

Developing the leadership capability to genuinely and authentically demonstrate caring (identification) is surprisingly challenging, and is a common coaching topic in my global executive coaching practice. Why? Because as leaders gain power they tend to become more focused on goals and less focused on people – that’s just the way our unconscious brain responds to power!
