Leadership the Challenge – Practical and Effective Strategies

Leadership the Challenge – Practical and Effective Strategies

Every leader faces challenges at various times throughout a career. The key is to acknowledge that leadership is a challenge and that we are not born with this innate skill. One must first accept to persevere beyond the status quo and understand that leadership is a consistently evolving process.

Here are my 3 Tips to Successful Leadership:

Develop a Leadership Style

• Leadership is a process. Don’t be afraid to try new strategies and extract the most important lessons to enhance your leadership style. Sometimes multiple styles will work well such as coaching, pacesetting, directing, visioning and more. Don’t limit yourself and be confident in using a mixed methods approach.

Learn to Inspire Others

• Some organizational mangers feel that it isn’t their responsibility to inspire employees. This thinking couldn’t be further from the truth. Learning to know your people and inspiring them through concepts such as recognition or self-development is very important to organizational success.

Self Matters Most

• We all have different levels of stress in our lives. The important thing to understand is that self matters most. Without a calm and balanced lifestyle, you will be very challenged to apply great leadership and effectively achieve organizational goals. Learn a new art such as Yoga or begin an Exercise routine. Believe me, it helps!
