Are you a real leader?
It's one thing to lead others, but how effective are your leadership skills if you're not leading yourself.
1. Communication
Pivotal to the success of any leader. Every corporation, organization and team need to be clear as to the goals and objectives. Leaders share the vision with their teams and that way everyone is on the same page so there are no disconnects.
2. Mentor
Leaders openly share their knowledge and mentor others in the organization by teaching and sharing. Remember the saying "all for one and one for all."
3. Set the Tone
Leaders don't just set expectations they live by them as well. It's difficult to hold others accountable if you're a leader who isn't following the same set of guidelines. Don't expect others to show up on time if you can't. When you're a leader you're being watched more than anyone else!
4. Don't Hover
One can get their work done, let alone feel confident if you're always hovering like a helicopter. Your team members have been vetted, hired and trained so allow them to tap into their excellence and excel.
5. Share Expectations
What are the goals, time lines, strategies? These are the outlines for team meetings and the opportunity to clarify what is required.
