How would you rate your energy level during your working hours?
In the Harvard Business Review Emma Seppala and Kim Cameron share that levels of engagement increase when positive (and authentic) energy exists, that attrition is lower, and that profits and productivity can increase four fold.
And while charisma, influence, personality, and innovation are all nice leadership skills, “the greatest predictor of success for leaders is positive relational energy: the energy exchanged between people that helps uplift, enthuse, and renew them”.
We’ll add that effective business relationships drive success!
Leaders that have positive energy and understand the need for effective relationships will be higher performers and influence others to strive to achieve more.
Positive energizer leaders also create organizations with higher levels of:
They are truly “people-people” that care about those they interact with, and they utilize behaviors such as compassion, humility, trust, integrity, and recognition to build meaningful relationships.
The reverse style is de-energizers. These are the people that sap your energy and are uninspiring and maybe even demoralizing.
Take the time to assess those you interact with – what happens to your energy level? Are you energized or do you feel drained?
Now take the time to self-assess – do you think you are a positive energizer? Is there anything you could improve upon?
Sincerely,
- Do you find enjoyment in the workplace?
- Are you energized by the work you do?
- Do you have healthy interactions with your colleagues and direct reports?
- Do make time to develop effective business relationships?
