The first thing I want to give you is this phrase, \u201cWhat you focus on, you empower.\u201d There is no doubt about this. Your employees will watch what you do. And what you do, they\u2019re going to follow. You are the manager, the leader, their point of contact with the business. What you do, they will watch. What you do, they will focus on. And what you do, or focus on, you empower.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, I want to talk to you about the value and power of perception. Look at this familiar picture.\u00a0 What do you see?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Do you see the young girl, or do you see the old hag?\u00a0 It\u2019s not important what you see. What\u2019s important is that others can see something differently than you do. As you walk through your life as a manager, you want to make sure that your employees see what you want them to see. You need to be aware of what they see. You need to know; do they see the young girl, or do they see the old hag?\u00a0 Again, it doesn\u2019t matter what they see between the two. The important thing is that you know what they see, so that you know; are they seeing what you want them to see?\u00a0 There will never be a 100% assurance that you know what they see.\u00a0 But, if you pay attention to the potential for misunderstanding, you will be in front of potential issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s very important that you know how your employees see what you do. If you\u2019re walking steps blindly without knowing what your employees think of what you\u2019re doing, not as much an opinion but an understanding, they need to get the message that you\u2019re trying to send.\u00a0\u00a0 I went through a situation one time, and I\u2019m glad it was pointed out to me early in my career. I had a plan of putting something in place. I was just going through a process of implementing procedures and principles.\u00a0 Someone come up to me and said, \u201cYour employees are very upset.\u201d And I asked, \u201cHow come?\u201d He said, \u201cBecause this is what they see you\u2019re doing.\u201d And you know what my answer was? A very common answer, \u201cThat\u2019s not what I meant. I didn\u2019t mean that at all.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It didn\u2019t matter what I meant. It mattered what they saw.\u00a0 Perception is reality until proven otherwise. So, between What You Focus on You Empower, and the Power of Perception, these two realities will have an impact on your business and can significantly impact your career as a manager and leader.\u00a0 It is easy to get wrapped up in what we are doing.\u00a0 It is fruitful to get wrapped up in what your employees see you are doing.\u00a0 It is also a whole lot more fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
