Challenges are a normal part of business; that is a fact. And every company, whether it’s a start-up, a business in a high-growth phase or even a longstanding established organization will face both small and large hurdles every year. But no matter what your company faces, a great leadership is what will make a difference. To be a great leader, always adhere to these 4 attributes. They are
1. Leaders provide and communicate vision and ideas.
Leaders have ideas and beliefs, define reality, take the long view and work for the good of the whole. They dedicate themselves to noble purposes, service and stewardship rather than personal ambition. They are dedicated to mission and goals, acting proactively rather than reactively. Leaders also need to communicate their vision and the common good to others.
2. Leaders cooperate with others.
Leadership emphasizes mutuality with followers. Flexibility, persuasion, compromise, and following as well as leading are part of a leader's repertoire. Leaders motivate others without being didactic or autocratic. They serve others and encourage openness, diversity of opinion, inclusion, courtesy, and harmony.
3. Leaders have diverse skills and are flexible.
Leaders develop skills such as thinking and caring, action and reflection, and interpersonal and technical skills. Leaders are both curious and courageous, reflective and active, using different methods for different situations.
4. Leaders build the organization.
Leaders focus on problems, not personalities and demonstrate positive energy through cheerfulness, optimism, and enthusiasm. They work toward the common good of the group while promoting civility and personal and professional growth.
Leading is always a challenging and stressful task for managers. Always remember that a leader may be a manager but a manager need not necessary a leader. To find out what it takes to be a great leader, come and join us for a mind-opening session.
