A GUIDE TO BEING A BETTER LEADER

The bigger the position, the higher the responsibility and the greater should be the attributes to do justice with your company and yourself. Being in an authoritative position can be challenging sometimes and demands a lot of patience to lead a team effectively. No matter what you’re dealing with in your personal life, it always boils down to how you behave in your work environment. Everyone looks up to you and in order to be a role model for them, there are certain rules you need to follow. Have a look:

Talk less, listen more

It is very important to have a listening ear for every position in a work environment, and once you hit the top, it becomes absolutely crucial. Your time is the asset which you need to share with your staff and listen to what they have say. This will give rise to higher creativity levels, giving you individual ideas and solving problems much effectively. Let everyone voice their opinions to hear all aspects of a situation and then make the decision that best suits you. This practice makes everyone feel valued and ultimately, brings home the desired results. 

Celebrate success, learn from the failure

This might sound cliché but it is just as important. Develop a friendly bonding with your staff to make them feel at home. Celebrate every little success to let your team know that their efforts are being noticed. Arrange parties, team dinners or even a small gift hamper for the employee who performed the best. In case of failure, learn from your mistakes and guide your team regarding them, instead of bashing your staff for a setback. Turn your weaknesses into strengths and give everyone the margin of being humans.

Be approachable for all

Most of the times, the authoritative positions build a barrier (physical, mental or both) for their employees, which leads to a coordination lag and hence, more mistakes. You can only grow by lifting others up. Let yourself be approachable for even the lowest staff. Let them share their thoughts and opinions directly with you. Give them the access to reach you whenever they feel like in order to develop a healthy office environment. Sometimes, the work load is just too much to handle. Don’t let anyone suffer alone, because that’s what a team for!

Keep your emotions under control

You need to keep your emotions in check at all times. Don’t panic or get frustrated on the smallest of issues, and even if you do, don’t let anyone see it. A leader is the role model for its staff members and if you give signs of feeling overwhelmed, then your company might give up altogether. Keep everyone in on the ongoing and let them be a part of everything in order to swim out of it together, finding solutions creatively and fighting the odds.

And that’s it! These are the traits of an ideal leader that not only helps you grow but also your team.
