the same feedback it's hard not to at least consider it deeply just make sure to do this with a group of people who respect you and whose opinions you respect another sign of a natural leader is having the empathy to understand the people you lead simply put if you can put yourself in their shoes you'll know how to get the best out of them if a leader isn't able to do this they need to create a lieutenant who can do it for them here's a quick clip from the show to illustrate the point notice that ted's assistant coach is quick to assume a struggling player just doesn't have talent but ted's empathy clues him in to that it might be something else yes it's nigeria maybe the membership's too much fun no he just needs to get a little more comfy here that's all only turns NUMBER_TOKEN on saturday there we go birthday you know we'll do something special for him nudge that ship in the right direction yeah different things motivate different people some need tough love some need positive reinforcement some need a mix of both some people need to be told exactly what to do and others excel when given a goal and freedom to achieve it however they see fit if you want to be a good leader take the time to understand what motivates someone if you can empathize with someone instead of demonizing them you'll be better at aligning incentives rewarding them motivating them and predicting what projects they'll succeed at once you do empower someone to succeed the next habit of a good leader comes into play celebrate other people's wins a theme you've probably already noticed is that if you want to be a good leader you need to get people excited to follow you part of that process that many leaders ignore is making people feel appreciated the show does a good job of highlighting the power of this albeit with over-the-top enthusiasm because it is still a tv show ted loves to praise and reward people who are helpful for instance he celebrates rebecca for helping to block a bad paparazzi photo so i spoke to the owner of the sun you spoke to god no the newspaper oh and he has agreed to not run the photo of you and keely mvp mvp left leg yes yes okay thank you ted sorry yeah bad leaders actually get their emotional reactions backwards they react to good work with mild praise and they save their big emotional reactions for when they're yelling at people because they screwed up now that said as a leader you do need to create an environment where bad actions have consequences but the key is to do it in a matter-of-fact way and not become someone who takes joy in punishing other people this next scene shows it well for context if you don't watch the show jaime is faking an injury here in protest of being moved to the bench and he's basically refusing to practice unless he starts tell you what do me a favor will you get out there set the cones so the other reserves could do a little passing drill i will say it's quite nice seeing jamie put in his place forms thrilling even no no no no this is a no shot in freud zone right nine chardon freud all right being able to strike that balance of celebrating when people do well and having consequences for if they do something
