Taking your leadership skills from good to great could be the making of your business. Think about how you perform in these key areas and become a stronger leader…
Effort – Being a good leader requires effort; whether it be learning about your people, your operations, your industry, or how to better yourself. Focus on gaining any knowledge you can about the business, as it will come in useful.
Focus – No one wants to follow someone who isn’t sure where they are going, so develop a clear vision for your business and stick to it.
Communication – A great leader will be sincere in their communications, providing honest information and feedback. Make sure you communicate with people on all levels of your organisation, ensuring that your vision and goals get equally diffused.
Environment – Creating an environment in which employees are able to get consistent support and input from their co-workers and their managers will increase the effectiveness of your team. Being at the head of a team that works well and is open to discussion will increase productivity tenfold.
Decision making – Effective leaders are those that are able to assess a difficult situation and rationally make a decision, often under intense pressure. Never let the fear of getting it wrong prevent you from making that decision.
Inspiration – Always aim to be the person that people look to for inspiration. Reassure your employees and display the sort of behaviour you want them to aspire to.
