LEADERSHIP SKILLS

I want to discuss the few but most important traits of a good leader. It will be helpful to lead a group of people.


1. One of the traits of a good leader is being able to build loyalty beyond reason, and getting people totally believing that something is possible and this is fundamental to leading a group of people.


2. Everybody wants to be led. Remember! Workers want to know two things.
  • They want to know what they should be doing.
  • They want to know that what they are doing.
It is the complete responsibility of a leader to answer above two questions in open way.


3. Group leader must set up an environment in which his colleagues totally trust that.

4. Consistency in behaviour is the most important thing to lead a group of people. People in leadership roles must behave consistently. If they behave inconsistently, this means they are telling their colleagues to do something and do something totally different themselves.

CONSISTENCY IN BEHAVIOUR -LEADERSHIP SKILL

Now the question arises how to develop consistency in behaviour at a firm or organisation?

Following steps are important to adopt it.
  • Get together every 100 days as a group.
  • Draw up a list of all the things that want to get done in the next 100 days.
  • Go away as an individual and come back with commitments to how you are going to contribute to that list.
  • Sit down with executive and president to discuss your plan
  • It‘s just key figures’ job to make sure that the sum of everybody’s plan nails the firm’s list.
