I read a post by David Geurin this morning and it inspired me to share his thoughts. He said that he couldn’t prove this true but that he believes that when teachers are excited about what they’re teaching, the students get excited also.
Personally, I’ve noticed that as well. Whenever I get excited about my topic, my students get excited as well. No matter what age my students are, if I’m pumped and excited, they’re the same.
I think this is also true for leaders. When leaders are excited about their work and the people who work for them, it is contagious. I’ve also noticed that if I’m empowering my students and people who work with me, they get excited and empower each other.
So, love what you do and your people will perform better.
