Title: The Importance of M.I.E

Hey there,

One of your most important leadership qualities 
is your ability to M.I.E:  

* motivate, inspire and encourage others. 

If you’re managing a team of freelancers you’ve hired to
help you boost your business, this becomes all the more
important as the main person who benefits from the work
and effort they put into your projects is you.

This means that you’ll need to find ways to motivate and
inspire your team throughout each project.  

This goes  beyond keeping them focused with regular payments
or milestones (though those help!).  It involves empowering
your team members so they are given the creative freedom
to work on your projects in a way that truly utilizes their
skills and talents.

While it’s your job to be clear and direct in your expectations,
and to provide an outline for your project, you never want to
be so restrictive that your team members aren’t able to bring
anything more to the table.
 The more open you are with exploring ideas, listening to
feedback and consider other avenues or possibilities based
on the experiences and skills that your team members bring
to the table, the better your projects will be.   
So inspire, empower and lead your group by allowing them
to collaborate and by showing appreciation and the willingness
to listen whenever they help you bring new ideas to life.

In tomorrow’s email, we’ll talk about the importance of honest
and transparency.  It’s the true sign of a seasoned leader.

Until then,

{YOUR NAME HERE}
