One of the best ways to identify a potential leader is to
ask people: “Who do you enjoy working with?
Who do you respect in the workforce?”
The names you hear in answer to those questions are the kind of people
you want to identify as potential leaders and promote.
Great leaders are great because their people trust and
respect them, not because they have power. So think about it: Who do people
trust and respect in your workplace? Who do people go to for advice who might
not be a leader now? Those are the ones
you want to identify. Those are the ones who have the potential to be leaders,
because people are already attracted to them.
