Are you looking for opportunities to work as a Working Solutions agent?
The workplace is filled with four-letter words. “Work” itself is one. And so are “hire” and “fire.” No mistaking their meanings.
But what about words that convey more feeling? Such as “care” and “love.” True, they’re not as tangible. More telling, though, they speak volumes about being in touch with your workforce.
You see, it’s between the hiring and firing—and the caring and loving—that the business runs. It’s where emotions, as well as time and money, are invested.
In its “Must Reads” series, the Harvard Business Review (HBR) compiled 10 articles into On Emotional Intelligence, featuring bestselling author Daniel Goleman.
HBR states: “In his defining work on emotional intelligence,” Goleman “found that it is twice as important as other competencies in determining outstanding leadership.”
Ah, those coveted soft skills. Nuanced and nurturing. It’s how leaders relate with workers, and coworkers with each other, that gets the job done.
In my career, I’ve experienced all types of leadership—bad, indifferent and good. As an employee at several companies and later a consultant, I went from fiercely competitive workplaces to detached management to leaders who do right by people, my preferred style.
From the start at Working Solutions, we sought to establish a high degree of emotional intelligence, with both employees and agents, who are independent contractors working from home.
Twenty years ago, we knew that making a strong, caring connection companywide only made sense in leading a remote, on-demand workforce.
Here’s why: If you show and feel genuine interest for your team or community, immediately you find the level of respect for clients and other team members increases. You also will find business results increase and the team is honestly happy with each other’s success.
Or as The Beatles sang it: “And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.”
