Welcome

Inspired Leadership is a blog to provide a collection of my thoughts on leadership. I have helped numerous executives including general managers, department heads and supervisors over the years with various HR and operational matters and I find myself being driven to help those in and outside of the companies I have worked for.

I often find parallels in the things we do in life so you will find a collection of things that drive me forward in my personal and business life towards continual success. I also found great success utilizing concepts found in the Secret, the 8th Habit from Effectiveness to Greatness and Eat that Frog so you will see that a large part of what you will read will have a good deal of its base from those concepts.

What is praise?

Praise is positive feedback, a genuine positive statement that is given sincerely and is a true statement. Successful leaders celebrate the simple and small things and from that their team follows through on big accomplishments. Unfortunately it is not done enough in most cases. Have you ever come home and said man! they just give me too much praise at work! Or have you ever heard someone over lunch or out with friends and hear those words? No I didn't think so.

We are usually conditioned to look for the problem and issues and yes we have to do that as part of process control and so forth. However those are management issues and giving praise is a leadership behavior and action.

Ask yourself how many times this week did you catch someone doing something right...and let them know you noticed. Also how can you and your team become even better at giving praise and spreading that habit of giving well deserved praise through out the organization. Imagine the implications this can make on your team and your workplace for that mater.
