Are you a great partner, at work and in life, to those around you?
Relationships with our work peers, friends, family, neighbors, or even strangers are not always healthy. Yet numerous research studies provide indisputable evidence that positive relationships lead to greater well-being and longer life.
Most of us humans realize that we could serve others more effectively. Often, our selfish desires quash our ability to see opportunities to serve – and to act on those opportunities.
What we need is a simple model to guide how we interact with others daily. Here is my best thinking on a GREAT partnering model.
In 2013 I published a book on how to be a GREAT boss. Those recommendations are still important and relevant. Whether you’re a formal leader or not, though, you’re a colleague, neighbor, and partner with many people each day. What each of us need to do is BE a GREAT partner as well as surround ourselves with GREAT partners!
GREAT partners demonstrate and inspire these five characteristics. “Demonstrate” means we model these qualities daily. “Inspire” means we generate others’ demonstration of these qualities, daily, as well.
Generosity
Respect
Encouragement
Aspiration
Trustworthiness
In this episode of my Culture Leadership Charge video series, I share the positive impact of these qualities in action.
This is episode seventy-five of my Culture Leadership Charge video & podcast series. In these concise episodes, I presents the best practices for creating and maintaining a purposeful, positive, productive culture - at work, at home, and in your community.
