The How
"Becoming a leader is synonymous with becoming yourself. It's precisely that simple,
and it's also that difficult." -Warren Bennis
and it's also that difficult." -Warren Bennis
One of the greatest challenges for leaders is sorting through the glut of leadership and management theories and strategies to figure out what really matters in leading others. Leaders and managers need to excel in several key areas to be successful:
Effective leaders...
Effective leaders...
- Are first and foremost authentic. They lead from the inside out. The best way to lead is to be who you are. Authentic leaders know their values, strengths, ideal environments for thriving, motivations, and culture, and they help others discover this for themselves.
- Manage people, not projects. They activate performance, praise consistently, and value team members. As a result, they retain more individuals than the average manager.
- Build teams, not groups. Groups are individuals working in the same direction. Teams work together to get results that would be otherwise unattainable.
- Are infinitely excellent. They think beyond the finite and look for innovative ways to work.
- Coach to the need. They provide more than rote coaching on predefined skills. They meet people where they are and coach them to where they want to go.
- Communicate effectively. They know their communication style and the style of their team members and strive for clarity.
These leadership capabilities are universal and fundamental.
