How To Become A Good Leader In 2022

With every day drastically changing world, it is now extremely important to be a leader who is not only good but a great one so he/she can hold on to the employees and keep them satisfied with him/her and with the job too. As we have already entered the New Year 2022, it is now a great time to look into some added steps that you imply to expand and improve your leadership skills. That said, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 4 million Americans quit their jobs in July 2021 for whatever reason but the thing to notice is that they did.

Now if we talk about an employer or the leader of a company, this is very alarming. No one wishes that their employees become unhappy and unsatisfied to an extent to quit the job which in turn, of course, affects their assets to the company. People and specifically employees need effective leaders now more than ever with every day revolutionizing world. However, you can make your leadership successful and effective in 2022 by following these tips.

• Leadership can be taught

The first thing that organizations and businesses need to understand is, that leadership skills can be taught. Many organizations don’t have the right knowledge to apply proper check-in or proper training procedures for their leaders within a company and so they fail at this specific task. Real leadership is not about power rather it is about inspiration, impact and influence. Becoming a control freak and commanding everyone leads to nothing but feelings of resentment and burnout.

Leaders inspire people to take action and understand their passion. Everyone has different passions and specialty and a true and great leader know and value that and tries to work with the person on what they require to bring out their passion. The best thing is, these skills can be polished and nurtured to continue to work on the way to success.

• Improve company culture

Because of the pandemic, people feel more disconnected from the world as they have to work from home and they cannot work together which sometimes leads to stress, in this situation, one must think outside the box. Concerned, and open-minded leadership still needs to conserve significance whether working from home or working in the office.

Establish an example that each and every employee is still appreciated and the standards remain high. Of course, the world will change and there will be again a normal world, unlike the last two years we’ve had. And in the future, only those companies will become successful who have implemented authentic and inclusive ways of finding and developing talents. Companies that know that everyone should be valued irrespective of their position.

I am so happy to work with Skepper Creative Agency, Bangalore. It’s a place where I witness a rising rich culture with an International growing team. It gives me enormous satisfaction to work with an organization where employees get appreciated for their work. Also, the CCO & Co-Founder,?Mr.?Binoy Sundhar Parakat?is playing a tremendous role as a leader, and that’s just phenomenal.?

Not only him but also the Human Resource team which includes?Deepika Balasubramanian?and?Annie Singh?are continuously putting an effort to bring more transformations every day.?

At Skepper, we all work as leaders: know our responsibilities, work-sharing process, collaboration, and ideas to brainstorm together with a customer-first attitude.

• Invest in technology

With everything becoming digital and online, it can be a great idea to start investing in it not only as a business but with an aim to be a good leader. Technology has lots of advantages whether it is to help improve patients’ experience in your hospital or it allows more teamwork in your business meetings. Being a leader, more specifically a good and adored leader no one will reject the changes you make to bring innovations and advantages to the workplace and to the employees.

• Rise of career nomad

Now when there are many other possible and easy ways of working have emerged, professionals have made a decision not to go back to the workplace ever again. According to some, they are re-evaluating their career choices as the worldwide pandemic had given them a chance to slow down and think about their choices.?

However, the fact still remains: employees still want the same and they are firm on their decision and their decision is that they want their leaders within the company so that they can be fully aware of their leader. For a company to be successful, a well-organized and good team is as important as DNA in living things and for this leaders should account for their workers’ requests. As an emerging technology, there is no reason to force people to sit in their office for an exact time every day.

Now professionals are understanding this. Therefore, to be a good leader in 2022, one should make flexible boundaries to make employees happy and satisfied. Some people may want to work from home because of some valid reason like they may be they can’t afford 24-hour child care. On the contrary, someone else may be fine with the coming to office twice a week while they plan the other days at home. The main point to understand is that leaders should know that their employee’s needs matter.

• Practice empathy and compassion

It’s been a very tough year for everyone, with the sudden pandemic, political turmoil and cherry on top the disconnection from the world. Therefore, it is important to be empathic and compassionate as a leader. Put yourself in other people’s shoes to understand what they are going through.

For example, if you have someone who has always given exemplary performance but has a bad month, show some kindness and concern towards them. Maybe you can check in with them and ask them if they are fine if everything is okay. People do not want to feel bad, awkward and embarrassed for bad performance when they have always been successful in the past years they have worked. After all, we are all mere humans!

As Bill Gates says,

“As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others.”
