EntreLeadership Leaders

I came across this post from EntreLeadership on X.com, I want you to check it out:

Only 16% of employees say their last conversation with their leader was truly meaningful.

Being a leader is more than making payroll or maximizing ROI on every team member. It means taking the time to know what is going on in their world.

And it only takes 13 seconds to check on them and make them feel seen, heard, known, and loved.

And then the graphic says:

If you don't know where they're struggling, you're not leading them. You're losing them.

I don't think a leader needs to know every little detail of someone's life. But, I think they do need to be interested in their people enough that their workers feel important and needed.

I recently had an experience where I helped out at a youth camp. My wife was directing this camp, and she did a superb job. I got to help out by carrying tents, pounding in stakes, lighting grills, campfires, and serving tables, etc. I definitely felt needed and useful, and my wife would eye me every so often, to let me know that I was needed in another part of the camp, to ensure everything went smooth for the youth. The youth had a great time, and I felt awesome, because I was needed, and I could see the help I offered was serving others.

The point is, we need eachother, and we need healthy relationships with eachother. Whether that is employer/employee, friends, or co-workers.
