 In our undercover research, we see five consistent qualities that always earn the respect of employees and that's confidence, credibility, competence, candor, and caring. You need these five qualities if you want to influence others because they are the keys that open the door to allow people to actively choose you as a mentor and accept the guidance that you have to offer. So today's weekly tip is to look for these five C's inside yourself and choose one that you can build on right now. Could you increase your confidence by learning to get out of your own head? Or could you get a certification to increase your competence or demonstrate stronger credibility? Or what about building a positive culture that supports candor? Or even finding ways to deepen your care for your employees? Start with just one and then build from there because you can't become a mentor until the mentee invites you into their heart.
