8 MORE Ways to Becoming a Great Leader?

Fol­low­ing our post on how to be a great leader, we are pro­vid­ing 8 more ways you can stand up to be call a great and effec­tive leader.  When peo­ple are to describe you in a state­ment, you want to be described as a leader that is con­sis­tent, firm, resource­ful and flex­i­ble to changes.  You will also be sup­port­ive and allow par­tic­i­pa­tion from the ground in run­ning the organ­i­sa­tion.  How do you achieve that?  Read more to find out!

1. Be con­sis­tent in your expec­ta­tions and deliv­ery – This will deter­mine your integrity and con­sis­tency.  Your team mem­bers would not want to work with a leader that is always unpredictable.
2. Com­mu­ni­cate pos­i­tively and firm – Avoid neg­a­tive remarks that will only will wash the moral from your staff.  What you need is a highly moti­vated team that deliver won­der results right.  Not a team of lousy feel­ing employ­ees wait­ing for the next pay cheque to come.
3. Com­mu­ni­cate reg­u­larly with your stake­hold­ers – That includes your employ­ees. You need to keep them updated of progress.   When it comes to plan­ning, as much as pos­si­ble, involve your employ­ees in day to day deci­sions and long term plan­ning.  Give them a sense of own­er­ship and belong­ing.  Every­one is impor­tant in the organisation!
4. Inter­vene when some­thing is wrong – If you feel some­thing is wrong with cer­tain task; find out more of the prob­lem.  Ter­mi­nate the task if that is an option.  Some­times, its bet­ter to ter­mi­nate the task then to find alter­na­tives to resolve ti.
5. Teach your team mem­bers how to fish and not show them the fish – You will be tire out one day if you keep show­ing them the fish.  Teach your team mem­bers ways to be pro­duc­tiv­ity, let them learn new tech­niques (that works for them).  Their pro­duc­tiv­ity will be your input for your per­sonal productivity.
6. Deter­mine your staff abil­i­ties – Assess each and every one of your team mem­bers.  Some maybe strong in cer­tain areas of work while oth­ers may not be.  Let’s face it; you can’t get the best peo­ple from your recruit­ment exer­cises every time.  There­fore, it’s best to opti­mize your staff by under­stand­ing what they are best at and group­ing them together to boost productivity!
7. Cre­ate a pleas­ant, safe work­ing envi­ron­ment – You do not you’re your employ­ees to come to office with a wor­ried mind.  Every­one is happy to come to office and no one is hurt.
8. Con­stantly eval­u­ate your oper­at­ing pro­ce­dures and fine tune it for improve­ments – Processes do not dic­tate how you should do things.  Processes are designed by human beings in first place so do not allow processes to dic­tate your inno­va­tion.  Con­stantly find out the loop holes or areas of improve­ment in your organ­i­sa­tion process so that your team can work more efficiently.
