After reading such article, it reminds me of undercover boss. CEOs in a lot of cases don’t know what it’s like to be the individual at the bottom of the totem pole making the business run. There are various opportunities to find out the needs of employees at the bottom of the latter. The idea of understanding your employees at all levels important rather than the numbers. In my career, I not only want to be a boss but, a person my employees feel they could come too and I actually understand where they are coming from.

INSTANT MBA: 'Be The Leader Who Hops In The Delivery Truck'
I love this type of manager because they know how to empathize with their employees. This symbolizes that the employees and employer are a team, and influences everyone to work together. The manager gains firsthand insight on the strengths and weaknesses of the departments and employees specifically. Together they work more closely toward the common goal.

INSTANT MBA: 'Be The Leader Who Hops In The Delivery Truck'
Communication with employees working under you is important when you are the manager. I would want to know firsthand what the problem is in my company by grabbing lunch with some of my workers, going in the delivery trucks, and other activities that my workers take a part in. It is very important to see what is going on and how you can help when you are a leader of a big organization and being there face to face with employees occasionally is important also.

INSTANT MBA: Be The Leader Who Hops In The Delivery Truck
Leaders should never feel that they are too big for what they do. Sometimes leaders feel that they are above everyone else and they act like they don't have to do the dirty work anymore because they can just tell everyone else to do it. This article shows you that leaders are never too good to get dirty. Sometimes leaders are more respected whenever they actually go on the site and check out the labor on their own. Leaders should every once in a while try and connect with their employees and get to know improvements on themselves. The fellow employees will respect their leader and also enjoy coming to work for this type of leader.

People respect a person much more than a position. This is a great article expressing the importance of leaders not acting better than their employees and relating with them on a personal level. People respect when in you get down and dirty and work along side them. As a leader, spending time with the people who make the company function will increase your ability to properly make decisions that affect the entire organization.

I definitely agree with this link of the day. It is important to be able relate to your employees to be a good leader or a good ceo. Getting on their level by helping them and asking them ways that you can improve are great ways to relate to and work with lower level management and employees.

INSTANT MBA: 'Be The Leader Who Hops In The Delivery Truck' I think that In order to really know how you and your business are doing, you should connect with your people. A conversation with an outsider can give you an insight onto how you are doing. Sometimes outsiders can recognize problems or opportunities that you may not even see while working for a business.

In your business you want to make your employees feel like you are a part of the team, not just the leader who bosses everyone around. When you are willing to do what your employees do- even if it means doing the smallest job. When your team sees you as someone who is willing to do whatever it takes to make your business succeed. This will make them want to do whatever it takes to be successful in your eyes as well. This overall will make your business better!

INSTANT MBA: 'Be The Leader Who Hops In The Delivery Truck'
Want to increase output? Then increase the critical input. The more construction criticism a manager can gather about the operations of their business, then more that manager can effectively engage in changing. It is the manager's role to engage the employees and ask for this criticism and the managers who do this are more affective motivators and often increase the morale of their workers. I agree with this article.

I agree with this article 100%. Be the leader that leads not just throws out demands. No one wants to work with the boss that just tells them what to do and sits back and watch. Be the leader that leads by example. If you are out there working hard, your employees will know they have no option but to match the effort the leader is putting out. They will respect you more and work hard for you. I would much rather a boss that got down and dirty with the “bottom of the hierarchy” as opposed to someone who walked around with a megaphone calling out orders and thinking they are too good to work.

I like and agree with this article. What better way to figure out what is wrong with the company then by getting other peoples' opinion of how you are as a leader of a company. It reminds me of that show on tv where the CEOs work on the ground floor with the employees of companies, Undercover Boss I think is the name. This way of leading is very good because problems that aren't heard through the upper tier of the business ladder are vented to you in the form of the lower tiered workers. I believe this to be a very effective tool that can be used by upper management to see where the real problems are.

This is a great article. It discusses putting yourself in your employee’s shoes. Ask questions and learn directly from them the things they think needs improvements. It may sting to hear things about your company but it could do wonders for your business if you learn from them and make improvements based on what your employees are saying.

This article talks about being a leader and putting forth the effort. You need to lead by example to be a good leader in my opinion. Don’t just show an employee how to do something, actual complete the act so they can see how you want it done.
