3 Ways to Instill Passion in Your People

Passionate employees produce better results. The best way to spark passion in your people is to demonstrate your own passion — but you needn't be a cheerleader. Here are three ways to authentically show your enthusiasm and inspire others:

• Focus on the positive. Employees know when a leader truly cares about a company or a project. Passionate leaders can't help but talk about what's working well and try to find ways to fix what isn't.
• Don't ignore the negative. Passionate leaders aren't all about sunny skies — they address negatives in a realistic way and help people solve problems.
• Set high expectations. This doesn't mean unattainable workloads. Passionate leaders should inspire and challenge people to do their best, without overloading them.
