Recognise and authenticate your conventions in every interaction. Assumptions can kill people leadership. They lead to inaccurate implications and decisions especially about people. This creates resentment and mistrust.
Lead through promises not authority. People work with those they like and trust. Get to know your teams & let them get to know you.
Learn from your mistakes & promise to advance. You become a model for continuous improvement and a culture of learning.
Distinguish, honor, and revel people’s talents. You kindle more contribution and commitment when you highlight people’s strengths!
Advance loads of self-awareness. Self-aware leaders regulate their extremes and prevent blaming and dumping on their employees.
Put the we go beforehand your own ego. Generosity and humility are key to leading people well. It quickly builds tremendous trust and respect!
Audaciously address essential conversations. Unaddressed performance issues, teamwork problems, and organisational issues, leave team members wondering why you are the leader. Step out of the shadows, out of your comfort zone, and lead.
Generate calm in a storm without telling others to calm down. A great leader’s presence is like a port in a storm. It shores others up. It doesn’t tear others down. It doesn’t patronise or demean others for needing support.
Advance your inspirational skills. Many new leaders don’t believe they are inspirational. I see this especially with technical leaders. Truth is that inspiring others is a skill you can learn and must develop. Start with understanding what inspires your specific employees.
