Thousands of books have been written on how to become a successful leader. Each present their own different prospects , each put their own argument and afferming events to support them. I have my own point of view developed by analyzing many leaders in various different fields.
Employees often talk to the leader about various things they share their ideas, experiences, sometimes their personal affairs too. Now in every management book it's written that a good leader is the one who listens to others but in my opinion there is something missing. Human is a social animal. He likes to be acknowledged, be recognized, be a part of something which is bigger than him but in case he fails to attain that, he gets disappointed and disappointed workers are not good for business.
A good leader is the one who remembers. If a person or an employee trusts you enough to share something with you, it is important for you to remember. If he tells you that his wife Molly is not feeling good and he is worried about her. The next time you see him ask him how is Molly now, is she ok? This forms a bond between employers and employees which is far more strong any bond between a boss and a worker. Once the employees realize that you care for them, that you think them as your own, they would become loyal to you. This will not only create passionate and happy workers but also an healthy working environment in the organization. Care about people you work with. In most cases the leader only asks out of courtesy but never bother to remember. People feel undervalued working and that lack of acknowledgment would yield into workers who have no love for the job which would ultimately conclude as organizational failure.
