Leadership Tip of the Month:
Know What Employees Want in a Leader

A recent Forbes.com article outlined seven things employees expect from their leadership. Here are the top four:
  1. Specificity. Be clear, direct and explain what you want in plain language.
  2. Empowerment. Give employees the tools and freedoms to make decisions and learn from failures.
  3. Vulnerability. Don't pretend you have all the answers; ask for help when and where you need it.
  4. Honesty. Tell the whole truth -- even when it's tough.
