Business and organizations are an ecosystem. While there can only be one Captain of the Ship, growth and success rely on so many people. True enough, while a company survives on the frequency and satisfaction of customers, its long-lasting success relies on engaged employees.The former Xerox CEO, Anne Mulcahy, accurately puts it:

"Employees who believe that management is concerned about them as a whole person – not just an employee – are more productive, more satisfied, more fulfilled. Satisfied employees mean satisfied customers, which leads to profitability."Over the years, we have come to an understanding of how essential employee engagement is. The job of inspiring the team, motivating key workers, growing mentees into full potential, and encouraging employees to productivity, all rely on the one person we call the leader. Heavy is the head that wears the crown.

A huge part of one's role as a leader is to motivate people - your people. But who motivates you?As an effective leader, you bring people out of demotivation and renew their passion for work and life. Successful leaders don't need to wait or look elsewhere to find encouragement for themselves. Great leaders adapt habits and traits that keep them encouraged and motivated.
