You try to lead your people but they just don’t follow your direction. They don’t understand your motives, they question your policies, and they buck the system. What’s at the center of this? How well do you really know your people? Perhaps you could benefit from learning some relational leadership skills.
What is relational leadership anyway? What it boils down to is leading by building positive relationships within the organization. I can tell you first hand that it’s hard to lead people you haven’t established relationships with. They see you as a title, an authority, as anything but a real person who breathes the same air they do. Until you build trust, your people really don’t know who or what you’re in it for…them or yourself.
