Caring - One of Four Leader Prerequisite...

Timothy Dean Smith, Leadership Speaker, Coach and Podcast Host

About this episode

"Send me a text message and let me know what you think of the First-Time Leaders Accelerated℠ Podcast."

To be a great people-centered leader, you must genuinely care FOR and ABOUT people. You need to do both.

1.Caring FOR people is doing something for their well-being and helping them grow. It’s something you do to demonstrate you care for those you lead.

2.Caring ABOUT people is being emotionally concerned about their well-being and growth. It’s a feeling you have for them.

I look forward to our "get to know each other" conversation.

Treat people like they make a difference and they will.
