Actually, it shouldn’t be a surprise

Colleagues,

MVP: Surprise – research says leaders who are present have big positive impacts!

Eat, Sleep, Work, Repeat is one of my favorite podcasts and last week they had an episode on presence. I strongly suggest you give it a listen (link). There were two big takeaways.

First, leaders who are fully present with people have a massive impact on job satisfaction and productivity. There is research backing this up.

If you are a leader and you want people to be happier and more productive, the simplest most immediately impactful thing you can do is to show up!

Be 100% present. Listen, ask questions and listen some more. Listen and learn.

Don’t make it more complicated.

Today’s intention: Are you being fully present? Keep checking after each human interaction.

Cheers!

Frederick
