YOUR STYLE: BRAGGER OR LEADER
6. INSPIRING THEIR WORK
• Braggers take the majority of credit for their
team’s accomplishments. They believe this
impresses the higher ups. Braggers will also be
first to lay the blame for problems on
someone other than themselves. It this puts
an individual team member – or everyone else
but the Bragger – in an unfavourable light, at
least the Bragger comes out smelling like
roses. Or so the thinking goes.
6. INSPIRING THEIR WORK
• Leaders, on the other hand, take less credit
and accept more of the blame. From their
perspective they are being the bigger person:
it shows humility admitting personal
responsibility for their team’s errors; and
demonstrates self-confidence when
highlighting their team’s role in triumphs.
6. INSPIRING THEIR WORK
• To inspire your employees, try shouldering
more blame and sharing more credit.
• However it can also gains you the respect of
your team. And shows the higher ups that you
have leadership qualities above and
beyond the norm.
6. INSPIRING THEIR WORK
• Reward the efforts of your employees by highlighting
their individual achievements when informing senior
managers about successes.
• Mention your team members by name whenever
possible, rather than always calling them “my team”.
• Accept more of the blame when your team fouls up.
• Provide opportunities for those employees of yours
who mess up to redeem themselves.
