I’m following you!” A letter of gratitude.
“You shared another powerful message the other day! What you said made me pause and contemplate my actions, the things I say and the way I think about things. I want you to know that I’m following you because your words have had an impact in my life.
You sometimes share wisdom that helps encourage me both personally and professionally. On some days the words you say or the quotes and articles you post give me inner peace and strength to stay focused on my journey.
I’m following you because you show compassion for the success of others without looking for anything in return. You seem to understand that there are those of us that share some of the same obstacles in work and life, and encourage the connection of us all. You know we become stronger when we work together.
I’m following you because you are willing to share and express yourself about things important to you and others in a way that makes me feel appreciated and respected. I trust what you say and do. I’ve seen you go through some difficult situations, yet you resolve to stay calm and focused on creating collaborative solutions for the greater good.
I follow you because I see you are a fighter and stand up for what you believe with hope for a positive outcome. I’m amazed at some of the risks you take and your willingness to try something new.
I follow you because when you make the wrong decisions, you take responsibility for them. You shake off defeats and push forward with what you’ve learned. You are fair in your leadership, selecting what’s best for the greater good than what would benefit only yourself. You really seem to know and understand that everything you do impacts everyone around you and you strive to share knowledge and create an energy that will help us succeed.
I’m following you because you are a great leader. You inspire me and I want to share what I’ve learned from you with others. I’m following you and wanted to share with you why, and to say thank you for your leadership. “
There is no greater success than for a leader to master their own emotional intelligence and inspire those while doing so. Are you following somebody who is a great leader? Pass this message on to them and show them you appreciate who they are and what they are doing.
