Leadership combines the science of fact and emotion, but not always in equal parts. Facts alone have never won a single game in any sport. Facts alone have never built a company, sold an idea, or motivated people to reach beyond themselves. Leadership is tapping into the passion and emotions of your team and combining them with the facts. The simplicity of creating passion and connection is to listen well. Listen as if that person is the only one in your universe. Don't interrupt and don't relate anything back to your own experience for at least 5 minutes. Pay attention to what your team member or colleague is passionate about.
Ask yourself "What is important to you in your work?" "What is important to you in your life outside work?" "What do you want to achieve in life, more than anything else?" "What single thing in business or in life is worth the struggle?"
