10 LEADERSHIP ESSENTIALS

1. Create a positive work environment. 


You set, maintain, and change the tone. Model and encourage a positive one.


2. Set clear expectation. 


Tell people what you expect, when, and how, or your day can be filled with surprises, such as "Oh, you meant today?" Unclear expectations create an atmosphere of unease and frustration.


3. Give clear guidelines. 


As others participate in your organization, give them clear road maps. Don't keep your processes a secret.


4. Delegate. 


The added perspective on a job can create even more substantial results than you might create if it were part of your balancing act.


5. Be enthusiastic. 


Enthusiasm is contagious and creates an energetic work environment.


6. Demonstrate confidence. 


Believe in your product / service and yourself. Others will be far more eager to follow you.


7. Provide necessary resources. 


Ensure that team members can access information and people to help them achieve their goals.


8. Provide training. 


Provide team members with the skills and information to reach their fullest potential. If you want your team to be confident and competent, provide avenues for them to enhance their knowledge and skills.


9. Inspire team spirit. 


Hone your understanding of teams to create a positive atmosphere in which people feel appreciated and inspired.


10. Provide developmental feedback. 


By letting your team know how they are doing, you will propel them to excellence.
