What's the Future of Successful Leadership and Management at Work?

"We ultimately believe that it's our role as leaders, as coaches, to find out what about that individual is going to make them fulfilled and be able to achieve their best outcomes in both work and in life. In order to do that you have to be radically committed to that employee."

— Michael Johnson, President & CEO Multiview Financial Software

In the first episode of our podcast, Unicorn Leaders, our guest Michael Johnson relays that being “radically committed” to employees is the key to successful leadership in the business world.

He expands on this concept by saying it’s important to support your team members in everything they do — yes, even if it means leaving your team or company.

This idea is unique because managers generally react with frustration and anger when an employee conveys they want to leave their team.

Some managers may go as far as telling employees the company won't rehire them if they choose to leave. This isn't fair. At the end of the day, if your company is a positive place to work, employees will “boomerang back” to you after realizing the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

The truth is, most organizations treat their employees like numbers, and if your numbers go down, it doesn't look good on you as a manager.

When we start treating employees, partners, clients and vendors like people — where we see their individual needs and goals as more important than the bottom line, — we begin to see improvements in person-to-person dynamics.

If your company stands out as a great workplace in your industry, the people who once chose to leave may be even keener to return.

This tends to happen because when you put a person's needs before the company’s, and your employees are aware of that commitment, they'll feel more comfortable and valued in their work environment.

This is the foundation for solid corporate culture.

The truth of the matter is your team, for better or for worse, will have many changes in staff over time. You have to be realistic.

Below are Michael’s hacks and tips to help you understand the future of successful leadership and management.
