It came down to their approach and attitude as bosses and how they truly valued their employees. All of these managers were top performers year after year. They worked less and accomplished more.

They all had successful careers advanced in their company, and their employees respected the hell out of them.

They truly made considerable contributions to their companies, and even in bad times, they stood out as being far less impacted in down economies or even recessions.

They all were able to achieve superior results compared to their peers consistently.

What was it?

It was how they valued employees as human beings. And as I thought more, I captured what I believe are the 3 Habits all of these exceptional leaders had in common.

So let's get into it.

But Let's first be clear on the difference between leading and managing.

Management consists of controlling a group or a set of entities to accomplish a goal.

Leadership refers to an individual's ability to influence, motivate, and enable others to contribute toward organizational success.

Influence and inspiration separate leaders from managers, not power and control.

Unfortunately, Nowadays, survey after survey demonstrates a shift toward managers being more focused on management.

By doing this, they may be losing their team members' respect. Yeah, they get things done but with a more difficult burden of doing so.

Also, there is a perceptual confusion that treats both management and leadership as the same, which is not a mere reality.

So, in this leadership tips podcast, we will dig deep into the 3 Habits of Exceptional Leaders on how to shift your mindset and thoughts and move from a Management-heavy style to a more effective leadership style.

What is so critical to these three tips is that they are so simple—but often missing.
