8 Things Exceptional Bosses Constantly Tell Their Employees<\/h1>\n

Whether you’re\u00a0managing an intern<\/a>\u00a0or running an entire business, your employees’ success (and your own skin) depends on\u00a0your leadership<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, the solution for motivating your team and squashing any issues is right at the tip of your tongue. It all starts with communication — the skill\u00a0experts point to<\/a>\u00a0as the make-or-break factor for successful leadership.<\/p>\n

Here are eight things that exceptional bosses tell their employees daily. Start using these daily (or begin looking for a boss who does), and watch your success skyrocket:<\/p>\n

1. “I have total confidence in you.”<\/h2>\n

There’s nothing more discouraging than a boss who doesn’t believe in a person’s abilities and tries to micromanage them at every turn. Even\u00a0ultra-confident individuals<\/a>\u00a0will see their self-belief plummet if they’re treated like a white-collar toddler.<\/p>\n

As\u00a0President Theodore Roosevelt said<\/a>, “The best leader is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and self-restraint enough to keep from meddling with them while they do it.”<\/p>\n

It might be tough to let go of the reins at first, but if you give your team opportunities to rise to the occasion, you’ll find a happier and more motivated office environment.<\/p>\n

2. “This is what I want us to accomplish…”<\/h2>\n

CEO and president of Lockheed Martin\u00a0Marillyn Hewson<\/a>\u00a0found this to be the biggest key to success in her career: “Great leaders motivate and inspire people with why they’re doing it,” she says. “That’s purpose. And that’s the key to achieving something truly transformational.”<\/p>\n

What separates exceptional leaders from mediocre bosses is their ability to communicate their plans and tie the daily drudgery into big-picture goals. Charting a clear course for your team fosters a sense of job stability and drive at work — so always take the time to explain “why” instead of merely doling out orders.<\/p>\n

3. “What can we do better next time?”<\/h2>\n

As Arianna Huffington\u00a0sagely suggests<\/a>, mistakes are the best teachers. “We need to accept that we won’t always make the right decisions, that we’ll screw up royally sometimes,” she says. “Understanding that failure is not the opposite of success, it’s part of success.”<\/p>\n

Every person on planet Earth has messed up at his or her job at least once (even me…well, maybe more than once). Mistakes happen, especially when you’re trying something new.<\/p>\n

As long as it’s not a reckless or careless mistake, turn that error into a learning experience. Teaching someone what to do next time to avoid a blunder is much more productive than reprimanding them.<\/p>\n
