A leader needs one thing to be considered a leader: followers. Gaining the trust and respect of your team members is one of the most difficult challenges a boss must undertake. Still, it is vital in creating a productive and compassionate work environment.<\/p>\n

One of my mentors, a pioneer in leadership at HBO, Larry Carlson explains it this way, \u201c <\/strong>Communication is the cornerstone of any successful business or relationship. Honesty creates a deeper sense of connection; there\u2019s an unparalleled level of understanding, and work becomes easier and more efficient after that.<\/p>\n

From our discussions over the years, Larry\u2019s wisdom resulted in a model we use at Compassionate Leadership called the Carlson Leadership Pyramid to help leaders move from a foundation of honesty to leading with love:<\/p>\n

<\/fbs-ad><\/p>\n

He explained this concept through an organic and thought-provoking progression of team development. First, you begin with honesty, leading to trust; then trust leads to intimacy, and intimacy leads to love. Teams that love each other can do amazing things!<\/p>\n

As you move along this progression, you must be able to challenge your own limiting beliefs about your team and your ability to lead them with love.<\/p>\n

As a leader, fostering positive relationships with your employees and retaining extraordinary talent may begin with taking an inventory of the beliefs that make up your overall attitude. To help managers develop, I define limiting beliefs as those ideas that hold you back from being an effective leader and moving your team toward a vision. These ideas can be very subtle yet extremely powerful.<\/p>\n

Here is a list of some common limiting beliefs that have been held by executives I have coached and how they can be challenged and transformed into a more positive and empowering reality.<\/p>\n

Limiting: My team is too inexperienced \u2013<\/em><\/p>\n

Empowering: I need to provide more coaching and training for my team so they can reach their potential.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Limiting: My company has not given me the tools or resources to succeed.<\/em><\/p>\n

Empowering: I have to present a cost\/benefit analysis to my boss to get more resources for my team.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Limiting: We will not succeed in this economy. <\/em><\/p>\n

Empowering: In this economy, I have to encourage more innovation.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Limiting: The top leaders in this company do not know what they are doing.<\/em><\/p>\n

Empowering: I believe in the mission of this organization, and its leaders are doing their best. I bet I can help by being more courageous in the feedback I give them. <\/em><\/p>\n

Limiting: This job is beyond my skill level.<\/em><\/p>\n

Empowering: I need to invest more time in my leadership development.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

As you can see, limiting beliefs can stop you from being creative and productive. Empowering beliefs can help you get unstuck and move into effective action.<\/p>\n
