Apr 23 Model The Mood

Apr 23 Model The Mood
At a recent networking event, the atmosphere turned dark and depressing--the opposite of what job seekers need.

What I observed is that the leadership of the group needed to model networking behavior and model a positive attitude. That would have been the most valuable leadership action at that moment. Instead,a half an hour of networking was lost as people came in, sat down and didn't seem to speak with anyone, including the person seated next to them.

Leaders, including volunteer leaders, can add value to the leader/follower relationship by modeling the behavior and attitude that will benefit the follower. Job seekers need support in maintaining a positive attitude. For groups in which networking is not a natural skill, modeling the behavior would benefit everyone.

Leaders in every position bring value when they model attitude and behavior. Do people need to feel at ease networking? Model it! Do people need to feel more positive to be more productive? Model it.

Modeling is a powerful leadership tool. Use it often.
