I see many great leaders who make an enormous impact in their organisation or teams. Often, they excel at doing one or more of the following three things:
- Leading ThemselvesGreat leaders set expectations with themselves and hold themselves accountable for their actions. John Maxwell is an American author, speaker & world-renowned Leadership Expert.When asked "What is your biggest leadership problem?", John's response was this: "My biggest leadership problem is me. The person I struggle to head is John Maxwell." I believe that if you're going to lead others successfully, you must first lead yourself. You do that by developing the leader within you. - the traits and the habits that make you successful.
- Coaching Their Teams All great leaders are highly effective coaches. The key to making a difference in the workplace is getting the most out of your team, and to do so, you must be a great coach. Tom Landry, legendary coach of the Dallas Cowboys, once said something brilliant about coaching - "A coach is someone who tells you what you don't want to hear, who has seen you what you don't want to see, so you can be who you have always known you could be." Landry was coach of the Cowboys for almost 30 years, and his view on coaching sums up exactly what it means to be a difference-maker in any organisation or team.
- Holding Their People Accountable One of the keys to holding your people accountable is to set SMART Goals. When things are busy, it may seem like a pain to stop and write down goals, steps and outcomes. However, employees need to know what is expected of them in order to perform well and stay motivated. If you find a consistent lack of accountability at work, it's likely you need to create some written SMART goals. SMART stands for:S - SpecificM - MeasurableA - AttainableR - RelevantT - TimelyI hope you enjoyed.Be safe.PS – Whenever you’re ready, here are three ways I can help you become a better leader…?1.?Take my FREE masterclass “3 Steps to Leadership Excellence”
