Leadership Law X – Be the one to turn the lights off at night
August 20, 2009 by Sally E Smith · Leave a Comment
With a more caring, intrinsic nature, new AGE leaders are keenly aware they are serving their people. Never again will the words “you work for me” be muttered in the halls of business. Walking their talk, demonstrating daily that the business family is no different than a core family, the new AGE leader will remember that they are to be the last float in the parade. Walking out and leaving their people (who are leaders of their families) to work late will not happen. If it is time for the new AGE leader to go home, it is time for everyone else to leave, too.
Leadership Law IX – Build personal goals together with your people

For a new AGE leader to keep a finger on the pulse of their diverse people, they must know their needs, understand their decisions, and have open and clear two-way communication. Setting personal and professional goals together then incorporating a communication loop, letting each other know what’s expected and when they are on and off target will build a team both satisfying and rewarding.
Posting results of these goals and placing visuals throughout the environment will remind everyone of their mutual dependency in life. The new AGE leader will be able to cite the personal goals of their people because they know they are working toward them together.
