What’s Your Love Language?

What's one quick way to become a better leader, like that.

I highly recommend knowing more about your employees. Specifically, how they receive "love," right? How they actually perceive what you're doing, what you think for them. 

I highly recommend a book, it's called The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman. It doesn't mean that it has to be about love. The book is actually about marriage, not about business, but I highly recommend having your employees take that quiz, that's on the website for free. 

Because the way that you're giving love, or whatever you're looking to do so that way your employees receive that, they know they're valued, can change between different people. 

For example, I had an employee of mine take the quiz. And in my head, I tell people how amazing they are. Words of affirmation, right? "Oh, you're so great." "You're so amazing." "Thank you so much for that." 

Because one of my love languages is words of affirmation. That's not how they receive appreciation and love actually. Acts of service were, which was kind of interesting to me. 

Me doing little things and noticing, like, "Oh, I did this for you." "Oh, I got you this because I know you needed it. I tried to get it to you faster." Those small things make a huge difference because they feel more valued. That's how they receive love. 

So, I highly recommend today taking the quiz. It probably takes 5-10 minutes. Have your employees do it. It can be a fun little game. But that way you know that they're actually receiving the praise, whatever it is you're giving them. Instead of you just going, "I tell them they're great all the time, why do they feel undervalued?" 

Well, it's because they're receiving that praise or that love differently than the way you expect them to. So, I highly recommend go take that quiz today.
