Ensuring those around you feel empowered and motivated toward a common goal is one of the most important duties of a leader in any field.
At the end of the day, listening first and speaking second can accomplish more for a team than all the planning a leader can do to make the team more productive. The team members are in the thick of things each day, they know better what they need, how they can be supported, and where improvements can be made individually and as a whole.
Listen intently. Lead by example. Continue to learn.

El liderazgo empieza con un proceso de autoconocimiento que nos llevara a la autoeficacia y la inteligencia emocional asi mismo a actuar de acuerdo a nuestros valores y ser genuinos. En el aspecto de la interaccion con el grupo la capacidad de escucha que nos lleva a la empatia, el saber empoderar al grupo, hacerlos sentir unicos, respetados y que sus aportes valen, ofreciendoles recursos pero dandoles espacio para que actuen libremente
Motivating an individual or group is a key feature of an effective leader, but the actual methods employed can vary widely from personalized to general. Know your audience, consider your relationship to them. Individuals tend to respond well to environments that provide constancy in expectations, recognition of their efforts, and provide a them with a "voice at the table". They like to be seen, valued, and feel like their efforts have an impact.
