Useful Tips

In the speech last week, I think those two sentences below are the most helpful:
"Good job!", as a leader, we should learn to appreciate and praise other people's efforts. Such positive feedback is important to keep a team going and to form a united and friendly team atmosphere. Everyone's longing for success, but not every effort pays back. Personally, I think achievement is not just about success. Even resulting in failure, if we can learn something and make some progress from it, that's an achievement for me. Thus, it's not only important to praise others, but also important to say "good job" to ourselves.
"I made a mistake.", sometimes, it's hard to apologize. But remember, apology do not necessarily mean "deny ourselves". On the contrary, if one's confident enough to apologize, which also means that he's ready to shoulder the responsibility and is on the right track to improve.
These two sentences, of course, are just little pieces regarding leadership. But if we can start small, and keep working on it, we'll see that "leaders are not only born, but can be trained as well".
