How can you be a more effective, inspiring, well-respected leader for your company?
Start by leading by example. Trade a “Do as I say, not as I do,” attitude for a “Watch and learn” attitude. Be punctual, dress for success and treat everyone with courtesy and respect. Set the tone and your employees will follow it.
Be humble. There’s a key difference between a leader and
a boss: a leader shares the spotlight and is comfortable crediting others. While it might seem counter-intuitive, being
humble takes more confidence than basking in glory.
Effective communication is a
two-way street and making the most of it will have your company zooming forward
instead of pumping the breaks.
You can also add these to your bag
of leadership tricks: trust your team to do their job, make meetings efficient,
set boundaries and stick to them, find a mentor and be emotionally aware.
Finally, be sure to watch out for
the common pitfalls of leadership, learn from the past and never stop
improving.
