If you’re a leader, you know that leadership isn’t telling someone what to do but it’s about
helping your team achieve their goals, and in turn, achieving yours. Here are the 4 keys to
becoming an effective leader:
- Lead with integrity in everything you do and practice: Your employees and colleagues are always watching, practicing, and leading with ethical business practices will build trust and commitment among your team and create trust.
- Provide training and resources to your employees: Proper training and the right resources avails your team a road map and how to navigate various situations enabling the team to operate autonomously, enabling a good decision-making environment and room to grow in capacity and capability.
- Have a growing mindset: Whether we’re talking about personal growth or growing your business, there will always be opportunities to improve. To be an effective leader, you must have humility and be flexible to understand that you, your colleagues, and your employees always have room to add more knowledge and skills.
- Be a motivator: Giving credit when a good job is done, motivates your employees and colleagues to further challenge themselves to be better. Recognizing employees’ achievements on work well done, motivates them to continue to do better.
