The 10/10/10 method for decision making!

QUESTION: What was your dream job as a child? And what does that tell you about the kind of manager you could be now? Mine was to be a voice over artist for cartoons or to be the head of the United Nations. And if those didn't work out, I decided I would settle on being a teacher - of drama (my first career - I'm on my fourth career now). So what does that tell you about my management style? OK now it's your turn.

FUN FACT: It is true that people are more likely to follow your leadership if they know, like and trust you. But did you know that a "personal story" at the right time can be key? One of my benchmark childhood stories is one my father told me about how he handled a bully when he was little. It really helped me to deal with my tormentor at the time. How about you? What's story you could use to help the people on your team?
As you develop the necessary self-awareness about what is actually attractive about you to other people, you will have a team of people who want to follow you, and willingly contribute their talents and energy towards whatever goal you need them to work on. https://cstu.io/63e3a7
