Have you ever worked with a leader who wasn’t present? Perhaps he saw himself as being separate or above his followers. Because of this, he never made himself accessible to you. Or perhaps she made herself physically present, but when you met with her, she spent the majority of the time responding to messages or broke away to take a call. Even though she was physically present, it felt like she wasn’t really there.
Being present is not just being in the same room with someone. Being present is about giving your time, attention, and interest to that person. As a leader, one of the greatest gifts you can give someone else is your presence.
Being present is about giving someone your time, attention, and interest. This could simply be making time to talk with them. During this time, put away distractions. Show genuine interest in who they are and what they are talking about.
