Another football example here in Canny Bites:
This one takes the lessons from one of the most known and respected leaders from the game.
Sir Alex Ferguson on Leadership and the Importance of Respect

Lets begin:
Sir Alex Ferguson is one of the most successful football club managers of all time. During his career as Manager of Manchester United, he won 49 trophies and turned the club in a leading global brand.
Sir Alex knows his football, but what can we as business leaders learn from his success? It all comes down to his view on gaining respect.

He has been quoted as saying:
“You don’t get the best out of people by hitting them with an iron rod. You do so by gaining their respect, getting them accustomed to triumphs and convincing them that they are capable of improving their performance.”

As a leader you don’t need to be loved.

Being liked - or even loved - is nice, but it’s not necessary for respect. However, ruling by fear is not the right way either – your team might do what you want if they fear you, but they will never do it well or for the right reasons.

Above all, a leader needs to be respected. This is the key to effective leadership. How you achieve respect will depend on your team, and your organisation. Listen to others, pick up on the signals that they respond to, and use this to influence your leadership style.

Respect is the universal quality of successful leadership.

Earn it.

A bit more about the Canny Bites format:

Canny Bites is a creation by Safaraz Ali of Pathway Group, Quick informative bites of business wisdom for entrepreneurs and business leaders where it is all about sharing of valuable content.

Safaraz states: Each Canny Bite is created with a lot of thought and reason to create an engaging message. The script is the most important part of the process and only if I am completely happy will this be passed to our design team to work on. If you have any ideas that we could create a Canny Bite then please share that with me.
