The leader is the person who starts the 'building' of the relationships with the employees
When employees get involved, they do so because they have been invited by the leader. Employees get involved because they trust that their efforts will be appreciated. The best way a leader can invite their employees is through own behavior. Period.

Leading through relationships
Carl Rogers, the noted psychologist, once believed his job was to fix people. His main question, he writes, was, “How can I treat, or cure, or change this person?” Despite his best intentions, it didn’t work. He began to see that all his training, his well-honed techniques, and his ability to tell people what they needed to live more fulfilling lives were, in his words, “futile.” Occasionally, these tactics produced a change, but it was temporary at best.

Rogers tried a different approach. Instead of trying to mold his patients into who he wanted them to be, he focused on how he showed up for them. As people saw he cared about them, they discovered within themselves the capacity to change, mature and develop. Ultimately Rogers asked himself a different question. Instead of wondering, “How can I change this person?” he now asked, “How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his or her own personal growth?” Rogers’ experience speaks to the heart of leadership. The effective leader asks: “How can I develop relationships with others that encourage them to grow in self-confidence, passion, skill and clarity of purpose?”

FISH! Alive in Leaders will help you develop the skills to build these kinds of “helping” relationships, using the wisdom of The FISH! Philosophy.

A model of passion and wholeheartedness
The roots of The FISH! Philosophy go back to the day John Christensen visited the Pike Place Fish Market in Seattle. Selling fish was cold and exhausting, yet the market pulsed with so much energy, fun, incredible service and teamwork that people came from around the world just to watch the fishmongers work. Some leaders have seen The FISH! Philosophy as something for their employees to do. But organizations have been most successful where leaders embrace the practices in their own lives. As they have shown up for others in a FISH! way, they have learned that their example is the most powerful leadership tool they have. The moment you are entrusted with the responsibility of leading people, your life becomes interwoven with the lives they bring to work: their hopes, fears, talents, joys, anger, cynicism and idealism.

FISH! Alive in Leaders help you connect in a way that fosters the trust needed to accomplish your mutual goals and to have fun doing it.
