2nd Bac - Skills of a Leader

 

Be Authentic and Open

It’s easy for an “us vs. them” mentality to fill a company when managers pretend that they have all the answers. This resentment can only be reversed by having managers take off the mask and be authentic, building trust, and ultimately promoting employee acceptance.

Build Their Confidence to Build Your Company

Your team is an asset, and like any asset, you want to see its value grow. Ego is one of the greatest motivators. Building someone’s confidence can have a powerful and positive impact on their work as an employee. Your job as a leader and manager is to help your team members strive to be their best and reach their maximum potential.

Focus on Education

Knowledge is power, so continually educating your employees empowers them to make bigger contributions to the company’s success. Plus, since you are ultimately responsible for their output, when they succeed, so do you.

Education also lifts the veil of secrecy between management and employees that causes mistrust, miscommunication, and misguided efforts. The key is to include financial literacy training alongside an open-book management business operating system to maximize employee engagement and motivation.

No one is “born to lead.” Great leaders can come from any background and can choose to pursue a leadership role at any age. Whatever path a person takes to becoming a leader, the key to success is having a purpose and a desire to serve something bigger than oneself. Great leaders put the needs of their company ahead of their own and discover that is the best way to ensure both are met.
