Do you have the leadership skills that employees look for? Whether you are an office manager or a project leader, all good leaders require a number of soft skills to help them positively interact with employees or team members.
What makes an Effective Leader?
Effective leaders have a ability to communicate well, motivate their team, handle and delegate responsibilities, listen to feedback, and have the flexibility to solve problems in an ever-changing workplace.
Whether you're starting out in an entry-level position and looking to move up the career ladder or you're seeking a promotion, your leadership skils will be among your most valuable assets.
5 essential leadership skills
Communication
Leaders should establish a steady flow of communication between themselves and their staff or team members, either through an open-door policy or regular conversations with workers.
Motivation
Leaders must learn what motivators work best for their employees or team members to encourage productivity and passion.
Positivity
Simple acts like asking employees about their weekend or vacation plans will develop a positive atmosphere in the office, and raise morale among staff members.
Creativity
Learning to try nontraditional solutions, or approaching problems in nontraditional ways, will help you to solve an otherwise unsolvable problem.
Feedback
Leaders should constantly look for opportunities to deliver useful information to team members about their performance. However, there is a fine line between offering employees advice and assistance, and micromanaging. By teaching employees how to improve their work and make their own decisions, you will feel more confident delegating tasks to your staff.
