Rule 8Love Your Passengers

Love is the greatest leadership and team-building principle on the planet.

Your relationships with people on your bus are everything. You might have heard the saying “People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.” Loving your passengers and investing in relationships with them is a critical component to demonstrating that you care. When people know that you love and care about them, they will want to get on and stay on your bus.

You may be saying, “But Jon, my team passengers are tough to love.” Loving your passengers and bringing out the best in others generally begins with believing the best in others, even the ones that are hard to love. This is a phenomenal step that you can take right away. Believe you have the best passengers on your bus, show them you genuinely care about their success, and they will become the best. This approach builds strong, caring relationships that keep the journey positive along the way. When you love your passengers, they know it, and it impacts everyone's results for the better.
