Have you just moved into a leadership role within your organisation? Or are you a seasoned leader with years of experience under your belt??

No matter where you are on your leadership journey, there’s still a lot to learn, and there’s always plenty of room for improvement. Even great leaders can become?even greater?leaders when they continually hone their leadership skills and seek out ways to better serve others.

All the actions and behaviors of leaders can potentially help or harm culture, which can significantly impact the employee experience. Leaders play a crucial role in shaping employee experience in a positive way that yields desired business outcomes.?

The way leaders do this is by ensuring that they are making the best, most effective and efficient use of all available resources, including the most valuable of resources: employees.?

When leaders manage this valuable resource efficiently, they will see higher levels of productivity and performance, which results in greater profitability. They will also see improvements in their team members’ engagement, job satisfaction, and overall well-being, also resulting in greater profitability.

But leadership efficiency is about more than just making sure the work is done daily. It’s about making sure we, as leaders, are fostering a culture and work environment that is conducive to employees doing great work.?

To improve efficiency, leaders need to be committed to growth. As?John Maxwell?says, “Leadership is about growth – for yourself, your relationships, your productivity, and your people. To lead well, you must embrace your need for continual improvement… “?

For leaders to reach their full potential, they shouldn’t just encourage their teams to grow and develop; they should always be developing and growing to better serve their teams.

Exchange Feedback

The exchange of constructive feedback on a regular basis is an important part of the growth and improvement process and one of the best ways to improve efficiency at every level of the organisation.?

Employees need regular feedback to excel in their jobs. It provides not only job clarity, but also helps

Encourage Accountability

When employees don’t take accountability for their work, a team’s performance suffers. And you can’t expect employees to take accountability for results if they don’t have a clear set of expectations to guide them.?
