When managers focus on strengths, it gives people an opportunity to do what they do best every day. Gallup's research shows that when people use their strengths they perform better at work, have more energy, are more likely to achieve their goals, have more confidence, have higher engagement levels and are more effective at developing themselves and growing as individuals.

"Leadership is about growth - for yourself, your relationships, your productivity, and your people. To lead well, you must embrace your need for continual improvement"

"The very best leaders are always able to inspire their employees to remain loyal, hard working, and enthusiastic."

Becoming a more likeable leader is completely under your control, and it's a matter of emotional intelligence (EQ). Unlike innate, fixed characteristics, such as your intelligence (IQ), EQ is a flexible skill that you can improve with effort.
