What Makes an Effective Leader?

There are many skills that good leaders should have to facilitate communication, connect with others, lead projects with confidence, and more. Let’s take a look at some of these key skills that anyone who wants to lead can develop.

Communication

Clear communication is the foundation of quality leadership. Being able to actively listen to team members, facilitate productive conversation, clearly articulate plans and next steps, and proficiently guide discussions may sound like a no-brainer skill to have, but effective communication is an art and a science. If you can build a culture of positive, direct, and open communication, you’re well on your way to becoming an effective leader.

Motivation

Strong leaders aren’t just excited about the work – they’re able to get the rest of their team excited, too. To improve motivation, it’s important to set tangible goals for everybody to work toward, communicate why the job matters, exhibit a positive attitude, and recognize employees for their contributions.

Empathy

The ability to understand, respect, and value each individual for their contribution to a team is an important part of leadership. Leaders can’t do their jobs unless they have other people to lead, so appreciating and relating to team members is absolutely essential. Encourage employees to work toward understanding, listening to, and building off of one another to solve problems and innovate.

Decisiveness

Leaders are often faced with tough choices and need to make quick decisions. An impactful leader can make these decisions confidently and take responsibility for the outcomes.

Foresight

Good leaders have a big-picture understanding of how the organization works. They encourage employees to think beyond their individual tasks to understand how those tasks contribute to the whole of the organization, leading to innovative solutions for the whole that may have been missed with an individualistic mindset. A great leader also has a clear vision of where they want to lead their teams or organization, and they can articulate this vision by inspiring and motivating others to work toward a common goal.

Adaptability

The business landscape is constantly changing. Great leaders never stop learning and refining their skill set to stay ahead. They are adaptable and open to new ideas and approaches, ensuring their team stays ahead of the curve.

What's My Leadership Style

Understanding your leadership style is one of the keys to being a great leader. When you understand your style of leadership, you can utilize your strengths and improve your weaknesses to lead with confidence and direct and support others. What’s My Leadership Style is an easy self-assessment to help you discover your style and become the best leader you can be.
