Leadership Resource 101
Last Installment...
Support may be as simple as words of encouragement or a specific tool needed to perform a task. By listening to team-members, a leader can often learn about the barriers preventing a goal from being achieved and, through facilitation, find a way to an appropriate solution.
The best tool that a good leader can have is the ability to communicate. Open communication among the group that you are part of and leading is a must for the groups on going success.
Remember to:
Foster a reputation for being helpful and resourceful
Be a self-starter
Mentor someone newer
Get on the radar by networking
Lead collaboratively, not cutthroat
Gain you colleagues' trust
Encourage others through positivity
Leaders exude positivity, and it's this energy that helps fuel everyone to do their best. This goes back to being solution-oriented and resourceful. A can-do, pleasant attitude is much more respected than a negative one.
I hope you have enjoyed these tip Tuesday installments and have a better sense on the skills necessary to be a good leader. Also remember that all of these tips can be transferred to parenting, after-all a good parent is a good leader.
