Good leaders are made not born. If you have the desire and willpower,
you can become an effective leader. Good leaders develop through a never
ending process of self-study, education, training, and experience. This
guide will help you through that process.
To inspire your workers into higher levels of teamwork, there are certain things you must be, know, and, do. These do not come naturally, but are acquired through continual work and study. Good leaders are continually working and studying to improve their leadership skills; they are NOT resting on their laurels.
Concepts of leadership as applied to me are ---
1. Be Authentic
Authenticity is the quality or condition of being trustworthy or genuine.
If your actions are consistent with the words you speak and the gestures, tone, and volume that you use, then you are more likely to be viewed as worthy of trust. When other people feel they can trust you, they are more likely to listen to your message and heed your advice.
2. Act With Integrity
Integrity is the quality or condition of being whole or unimpaired.
Similar to authenticity, if you speak and act honestly and reliably then you will be seen as someone who can be relied upon to keep their promises. As a leader, this supports the development of trust in your relationships with followers.
Acting with integrity also means that you seek out and willingly accept feedback from others, which assist your own development and creates an environment of openness where others will be more willing and able to accept feedback from you.
3. Be Congruent
Congruence is the quality or condition of the quality or state of agreeing or corresponding.
In relation to leadership, congruency is about applying our stated principles and beliefs to ourselves first, before expecting others to follow.
Being congruent enables you to act as a role model for others, providing them with a living example of your principles in action. This avoids the infamous "do as I say, not as I do" model sometimes attempted unsuccessfully by parents with their children.
4. Contribute
Contribution is the giving of our resources including time, energy, ideas and knowledge to the wider community in order to support others.
You can clearly demonstrate leadership by actively participating in and supporting the communities that are relevant to the field you operate within and the team(s) you lead.
5. Collaborate
Collaboration is a process where two or more people or organizations work together towards achievement of common goals.
A collaborative leader understands the importance of also acting as a team player and in participating as part of the team for the benefit of all. This can be an effective way to achieve results and creates an environment of respect between yourself, as a leader, and those individuals whom you desire to follow you.
6. Pioneer
Pioneering refers to launching out into new and unexplored territories.
If you want to lead effectively, first make sure you have a clear idea of the direction or result you desire. Secondly, begin acting in ways that set an example for others to follow. As you trail blaze the new path, those around are more likely to be inspired to follow you.
7. Communicate Effectively
Communicate your vision and any specific actions you want to be taken using precise, succinct, clear, compelling, and inspirational language.
If you can communicate in a way that touches on the hopes, dreams and values of others then you will be more effective in influencing their behavior and, in the process, will build relationships that will support achieving your common goals.
