Communication
Being able to speak, listen, write and present
information to others effectively is a key
leadership skill. As well as enabling leaders
to get across their message, it allows them to
identify the best mode of communication for
each specific scenario.
Delegation
Developing the skill of delegation is an important
part of nurturing leadership attributes.
Delegation is the ability to assign tasks to others
and involves selecting the most suitable team
member to carry out a task and providing them
with clear instructions. It’s also about being able
to delegate, as a leader, tasks that require help
to complete.
Conflict Management
The ability to effectively mediate between two
parties taking different stances or in conflict
represents skills in conflict management.
It typically involves mediating a discussion
between the involved parties and steering this
conversation towards a compromise.
Team Building
Identifying both strengths and areas where
improvements are required is an essential
element of team building and is necessary to
build strong teams comprised of compatible
personalities. This skill also requires a leader to
promote support and collaboration by providing
team members with opportunities to bond and
access training.
