Be a leader that creates a collaborative environment

Listen to understand, not to respond
Show positive, attentive, and interested body language to signal you’re paying full attention to the other person. Make eye contact, respond with nods, take notes if needed and confirm your understanding.

Smile more!
Smiles are contagious, and they send messages of warmth and influence to the other person.

Be resourceful but humble
People are naturally attracted to those who can fulfill their needs. Master your strengths and find the people who can complement your weaknesses. Build your network to broaden your horizons and keep high standards for yourself. Take every opportunity to grow.

Do inspiring work
Choose to have a good attitude by practicing mindfulness. Remind yourself to relax and have fun. Take small actions to make someone else’s day - bring a colleague a coffee, for example. Most importantly, be there for others, be fully present, go the extra mile to help, and show empathy.

Become more of who you are
Be yourself and be real - tap into your inner qualities and let them shine. Help others feel special by remembering their name, complimenting them, and paying full attention when they speak. Take care of your physical appearance too.
