  • I listen to this message on a regular basis to keep me on track with my business and team!
  • How do we create an environment in which our people can work at their natural best? 🙌 When you feel valued by leadership you are much happier and willing to add your own value to the team to make it better as well. 💛 This video is a great reminder that our words and how we treat others matters when it comes to both increasing the overall morale and productivity of the team, and also in creating and fostering an environment that promotes creativity, enrichment, growth and success.💛 Loved the example you used in this video definitely helped to drive your point home in a clear and impactful way.✨

    I wish I could have Simon as leader just for a week. Even he probably has no idea how to do any of my work, I'm sure I would learn more from him than I learned in the past six years from my current narcissistic leader who seems to love to play one worker off against another one, loves to devalue and bash other people for no good reason and threatens you dismiss you when you don't follow whatever he says even what he wants is against the law and can put you in jail for up to 5 years.

    You are the best! Thank you to be a biggest part of my mentally about leadership. I have practiced what iam learning reading your books and listening your videos. Today I am a good environment creator. WORKS!
  • @vitorongarato
    Leadership to me it is the capacity of build trust and safeness to the team, for them achieve the goals!
  • I think I've seen Simon's videos in years past.. but holy F,. it speaks to me right now in my career situation like it never has before. Ugh. Amazing.
  • @ElenaKee
    I set myself a reminder to check in with my team at least once a week after watching this video! Thank you for the help & inspiration to grow & be better
  • @l0gic23
    I've watch this and similar cuts so many time, and will continue to do so. Wish the "leaders" who think they do no wrong would watch and internalize this. Finally I wish they would realize that to build a trusting team it does not start with firing anyone, except maybe themselves.
  • @SK-db8ly
    So inspiring. Thank you very much, Simon.
  • Thank you very much for continuing to create awareness in relation to this topic, which is very much needed; and I hope more of those so-called leaders by Tittle can watch this video.
  • Very well said. Best sentence: Leaders are not responsible for the results, they are responsible for the people, who are responsible for the results. Especially in larger organizations that is missing. But what chance do you have as a „low employee“ to change that, to improve things? Except from leaving and looking for another job in another company … and ending up with the same broken structure.
  • @FRAVSC
    I simply love what you just said. Unfortunately most managers would like to be what you described but fail to become such a manager. There's also a lot of cargo cult behavior out there
  • @Oxreen
    🔥🔥🔥🙌🏿🙌🏿Always dropping the gems 💎
  • Great apeech Simon. I like to hear you because you have a great way to say important ideas.
  • This is one of the reasons why big organisation don't want loyal employees. To hide the weak management and the inexistent HR 😊 Nice speech So true So inspiring
  • Very true. I teach at a couple different places. At one of them, the bosses and at times even the assistants will tell me how to do my job, take over things and just completely undermine me. At the other one i can just do things the way i see fit. Not saying im always right but they let me be me and let me do my job. At the first place i dont have to prepare anything but i hate it. At the second place i have to put thought and effort and time into preparing each class, but when i go to work, im happy and am still happy when i leave work instead of feeling drained. Side note, at the first place, none of the bosses or teaching assistants r actually even remotely qualified to teach but act like they know best (especially the bosses) and they just actively make things infinitely worse. Just yesterday my boss literally told me "dont teach him" cuz she was so focused on making sure she could get the video she wanted to send to the parents and i genuinely said out loud "im a teacher, let me teach"....
