When Will I Be Loved?

Leadership, Video

There’s an old song that I like by The Everly Brothers, When Will I Be Loved? Or perhaps you’ve heard the Linda Ronstadt version?

As a leader, this might be a question you’ve asked before – WHEN will I be loved? How do others feel about me as a leader? Am I making a difference? Am I having an impact of my team and organization?

And while these are valid questions that we will all likely have at one time or another, they are a bit misguided. Rather, we need to frame it and think about it another way.

Tweet it out: Our job as a leader isn’t to be loved or even liked – but to be likable and work to build good working relationships. @KevinEikenberry
