True Leaders Inspire Confidence

As a business owner you have a major impact on the emotional outlook of your employees. Good or bad, confident or fearful, you largely set their mood.

Below is an excerpt from this week’s Monday Morning Memo by Roy H. Williams

Fear is contagious
“A frightened person frightens other people. And these newly frightened people will frighten still more people until finally no one is spending any money. Fear is the fuel of recession. I understand perfectly what’s happening in the world. I simply choose not to be afraid.

You can choose, too.

Warren Buffett agrees with this outlook.

“Fear is very contagious. You can get fearful in 5 minutes, but you don’t get confident in 5 minutes.” - Warren Buffett on CNBC, Monday, March 9, 2009

Any boss can make staff fearful… but it takes a true leader to inspire confidence.

Are you a true leader?
