Significant Things to Keep in Mind in Enhancing your Leadership Skills

"People are more easily led than driven” this is a quote pointed out by David Harold Fink, as I’ve read this quote, I became tremendously minted by its meaning. It made me fully grasp a very common flaw in how numerous managers manage their team. The quotation suggests that individuals have a tendency to function more effectively if they're led or guided about the reason to take action than to forcefully get them to do something they don’t think is helpful or are ignorant about the reason for doing it. For that reason, as a leader, you have to get them to understand the importance of taking action, avoid being too manipulative, give them the proper inspiration, to make them feel necessary or exceptional due to their capabilities. These are generally extremely important points in developing your leadership skills.

As a leader you'll want to let your team comprehend the relevance of their job, get them to think that they are vital for the complete process to become successful, that each member of the team has a extremely important purpose to play in order that the whole group to progress. In assigning responsibilities, you should understand their weaknesses and strengths, and base the duties assigned to them based from it. By this, you'll be able to fully utilize your member’s maximum potential and avoid delegating duties that they won’t be effective on.


Avoid being too manipulative. It’s fine to push your people so that they would work the best they are able to. But too much driving will make them annoyed, perhaps even angry and discouraged at you thus, making them not work as best they could, not tune in to your guidelines or tips, making the potency of the complete staff drop. Give them encouragement; let them anticipate the excellent rewards or goals that would be achieved by the group if ever they do their utmost to reach the goal. If someone creates a slip-up make sure that you don’t reprimand him or her before the others, as this could cause the member’s self confidence to waver and feel ashamed in front of the entire team. Be prudent in giving corrections, don’t forget to be constructive, always appreciate the nice things that she or he did instead of just running through all of his/her mistakes. This may avoid making the member come to feel angry at you for reprimanding the mistake he / she made and rather feel a sense of duty to avoid performing exactly the same mistake again. Don't forget to continually appreciate your staff in any task or job that they achieve. This would greatly make them happy and very pleased thus, making them try harder next time to still satisfy your expectations. To boost your relationship with the staff, you could have team building exercises. This will not only cause you to possess a good relationship with them, but this would also let them know more about their teammates making them more efficient in performing as being a team. Also think of this as a leadership development process for yourself.
With that said, to be a leader it is wise to keep in mind that you’re dealing with people, not machines. Therefore, ensure that you treat them right and they'd enormously value and recognize you as their leader thus, making not just you but the whole team productive. Become aware of these things and I feel that you can considerably improve your leadership skills.
