The Power of a Leader’s Applause

Overview

Encouragement is the most affordable, most accessible tool there is for leading, engaging and developing members of the team. It often represents the difference between success and failure. Unfortunately, most leaders give far too little encouragement. The best leaders don’t wait for their teams to earn their encouragement. They provide it early and often to inspire success.

The right words spoken by the right person at the right time make all the difference, especially when coming from the leader.

Key Takeaway

A leader’s words make all the difference—they have the power to inspire and motivate team members to achieve any goal.
