3. Creativity alone can really separate the
strongest leaders from the rest. Leaders
will often encounter scenarios that will
require deviation from the norm. This is
where creativity can truly prove vital.
4. It is during these scenarios that teams will
look to their leaders for guidance. Leaders
must be able to think outside of the box
and adapt quickly to new scenarios.
5. Work within the guidelines to reach the
best outcome and utilize all possible
options, even if that means consulting
your team to help reach a conclusion.
7. Trust your team. If you have been diligent
throughout the hiring process, then
ideally your employees are exactly the
types who can manage the tasks you are
delegating to them.
8. If you are unable to trust your team, then
your business may not progress to the next
stages. Trust is a sign of strength, not
weakness. The greatest leaders make this a
regular practice. Identify the strengths of
your team and utilize them.
9. Delegate tasks to the appropriate
personnel. Be sure to set everyone up for
success. If certain team members find
particular tasks more enjoyable, then odds
are they will put more effort into it.
10. This practice will benefit everyone and
everything. If done properly, you will
have more time to tackle higher level
business.
12. There are several significant traits of great
leaders, but it is important to note that all
these traits are rooted in confidence. Part
of your responsibilities will include
maintaining team morale and extinguishing
fires when they spark.
13. The business may face some tough days and
your confidence can be what holds
everything together. Your team members can
pick up on certain attitudes, and bad
attitudes or vibes can spread throughout an
office like a virus.
14. Maintaining a positive attitude,
staying calm, and exuding confidence
will be imparted to your team.
