I’m a firm believer in people first.
I measure success with the happiness and personal growth that I see around me.
I firmly believe we all can make a difference because, at the end of the day, it is your team members going home fulfilled, happy, and appreciated.
They are going to be a better person and happier. All that matters is this.
How can the leader in question support his/her employees to this end?
General Krulak gives the following answer:
Offer them the freedom to fail and with it, the opportunity to succeed;
Micro-management must become a thing of the past;
Supervision must be complemented by proactive mentoring;
Empower them, hold them strictly accountable for their actions
Leaders are judged, ultimately, by the quality of the leadership reflected in their subordinates.
A leader’s main responsibility is to ensure that their employees make the right decisions.
Krulak’s Law of Leadership states that the future of an organization is in the hands of the privates in the field, not the generals back home.
