TCF1034: Are You a Lighthouse?

Strive to be a 'lighthouse' leader: Be a steady, positive, and predictable presence that guides your team safely, rather than a 'tugboat' that pushes and pulls.

Cultivate likability: Make your team excited to see you by focusing on positive interactions and making them feel valued, similar to a 'golden retriever'.

Establish clear core values: Use your company's core values as a moral compass and decision-making guide, providing stability and direction for your team.

Practice the 'five positive things' rule: Before addressing a negative, find five positive things your team is doing to foster a more encouraging and appreciative environment.

Reward desired behaviors: Actively acknowledge and praise the positive actions and efforts of your team members to reinforce good habits and improve overall performance.

Create a safe environment: Ensure your employees feel secure and supported, knowing you have their back, which encourages loyalty and better performance.
