Everyone
watches what the leader does. That isn’t an ego trip; it’s a fact. As a leader
in an organization, their behavior—for good or for ill—is the primary example
by which everyone else acts. People will follow the leader’s manners, conduct,
even writing or presentation style. That’s not a bad thing, necessarily. But
it’s a bad thing to underestimate it. Whether it’s the time he or she arrives
at work, the way he or she signs off emails, or the accolades he or she gives
or neglects to give to team members at the year-end party, employees are
watching the leader. While many leaders know in a general sense that others are
observing and reacting to them, they are often surprised at the degree of
detail to which employees zero in. Simple statements and actions often take on
great weight when it’s the leader who’s making them. Why? Individuals want to
please the leader, out of deference and respect, and because their jobs depend
on it.
