1. Spotlight leadership acts of others
This is the habit of focusing attention, directly or indirectly, on leadership efforts and accomplishments of another team member or group.
Shows that you're expecting leadership from others.
3. Provide in-depth recognition
Don’t just articulate specific actions that deserve praise. Contagious leaders tell Harry why and how he did a good job, whereas managers and contained leaders just say “Good job, Harry.”
Shows that you're paying attention to what people are doing and keeping account of their actions.
8. Passionately support your people
Managers are always controlled, rather than being fully committed and willing to take a risk. Contagious leaders are quick to support their team, and always stick up for them, even in the face of adversity.
9. Mentor a permission mentality
Contagious leaders mentor their team to always assume they have permission to do things their way. They try to extend the concept of contagious leadership, rather than constrain it.
