Abstract
In most jobs leading staff is a key aspect of your leadership. You can help to set the standards and values for their work. You can enable them to give of their best. You can grow future leaders.
‘The essential thing in organizational leadership is that the leader’s style pulls rather than pushes people on. A pull style of influence works by attracting and energizing people to an exciting view of the future. It motivates by identification, rather than through rewards and punishments.’
(Bennis and Nanus)1
