“You can be a producer and not a leader, but you can’t be a leader without being a producer. The difference is, people want to follow people who are achieving at a high level, but people also want to follow people who are looking outside of themselves and serving other people.”
– Dan Dowdy
Remember, people want to be a part of something bigger than themselves. Have a vision of where you’re going and share it. They know where they can grow in your business when you have a vision, mission, and organizational structure. When the going gets tough, you’ll need to point to that and remind them that this is why it’s tough, and we need to buckle down and work through these challenging times. Otherwise, they’re jumping ship and headed to your competitor.
