Six Essential Leadership Skills
Creating a Vision
Leaders who excel at creating a vision vividly imagine new ideas, directions, and innovations for the future. They think big and redefine the boundaries and what’s possible for their team, organization, and industry.
Developing Strategies
Developing strategies is all about transforming goals and ideas into action plans that are both innovative and achievable. To do this, leader’s must understand their organization’s unique resources and challenges, and, when necessary, use this knowledge to be agents of change.
Ensuring Results
Leaders who ensure results implement organizational priorities and make sure they get carried out accurately and efficiently. They set the pace of work and establish expectations of quality throughout their teams.
Inspiring People
Creating clarity and unity around ideas is the core of inspiring people. Effective leaders communicate with contagious enthusiasm for new endeavors, and they convince peers, superiors and subordinates of the merits of their cause or line of reasoning.
Being Approachable
By being approachable, leaders empower their team members to come forward to seek clarification, address concerns, and present ideas. They are open to feedback and build morale by making others feel heard.
Mentoring Others
Effective leaders know that mentoring others is an investment in the future of the organization. They help team members develop the skills, connections, and confidence to do their jobs more effectively, growing the next generation of leaders in the process.
