How to Lead - Top 3 Qualities of a Great Leader and other Leadership Skills
Sharing buttons:
many people dream of being leaders for a
lot of different reasons some people
want to be a top position to feel
powerful to be phrased and listen to
others want to feel important others
want to achieve high goals but they
would never be able to achieve by
themselves the thing is you don't have
to be at the top of an organization or a
community to be a leader leadership is
all about performance and less about
position even though there are many
fields where you can lead and of course
we can't possibly cover them all in just
this video the skills required to be a
successful leader are always the same
and what all good leaders have in common
is passion teamwork and good
communication skills of course there are
many other skills that make up a great
leader but they all revolve around these
three you need a goal that you truly
believe in you need the best team and
you need to know how to manage that team
in order to achieve that goal so let's
see what these are all about number one
passion most leaders are very passionate
about what they do a leader doesn't
command
you can't possibly persuade people into
doing something that you want them to do
unless you inspire them to see things
the way that you see them and you get
them to believe in the same goals that
you do and the best way to do that is
being passionate about your field and
vision sometimes things get tough along
the road but the drive to do something
that you're really into can help you
overcome the blocks and actually achieve
your goals also passion extends to
building a team of professionals any
leader wants an elite team made of
reliable people who don't settle for
mediocrity
it's about constant learning and
improving oneself and the team as a
whole characteristic of a great leader
number one is passion
number two is teamwork leadership
implies having a team by your side and
each person from your team has
particular strengths and weaknesses
including yourself as a leader a good
leader doesn't try to do everything by
themselves why would you need a lead if
you're a one-man show but instead they
rely on strengths that are different
from their own the more qualified people
you have in your team the more diverse
their strong points are this means the
more that you can achieve on the long
run and knowing how to manage people's
strengths to reach higher goals as one
of the best qualities of a leader also
getting everyone to see the big picture
and work together for a common goal is
the second trait of a leader number
three is good social and communication
skills a good leader is by definition a
good motivator he stands by his team for
better and for worse and knows how to
motivate people instead of just bossing
them around he knows how to approach
people on how to make them feel actually
valued the ability to skillfully relate
to
is well that you learn with time but
it's a very valuable asset and skill
when dealing with teams I want to say so
far I've been using the pronoun Heath to
describe a great leader but sex and
gender really don't matter I'm doing it
because I'm trying to get these
qualities within myself and by talking
about them like they're already my
traits it psychologically gets me closer
to becoming a better leader great
leadership is positive and professional
and it's all about inspiring people
towards a common goal and this can be
learned with a few simple tricks I'm
gonna go on to those now if you want to
be a leader you're gonna have to cut
down a lot of your own ego and learn how
to be humble and professional there are
no perfect leaders and you shouldn't
strive for perfection instead focus on
constant improvement you want people to
see you as a role model as someone they
can rely on not as just say simply
tyrant so for that your main concern
should be motivating your team making
them want to work for your goals and
feeling that goal is their own goal
instead of bossing them around you want
to have them by your side instead of
forcing them to do stuff that they don't
actually believe in for that you can do
several things give them credit for the
work also acknowledge their efforts and
reward them when they succeed another
big thing is admitting when you made a
mistake instead of denying it or passing
the responsibility on to someone else
which is usually easier if you can admit
and correct your own mistakes you will
gain a lot of trust and respect from
your team and that will motivate them
even more to help you everyone has their
flaws and accepting them and working
around them is better than denying them
all together build on your strengths
work around your weaknesses and let
people who are better than you in
certain areas do the work for those
certain areas if you show them trust
they will amaze you this is where
humility is required though because it
will go a very long way encourage people
to talk and listen actively when
listening to someone make sure you've
completely understood what they want to
say by repeating their idea so what
you're saying is and their own words
this will make them feel heard and
reinforced it'll also make them feel
like you're truly listening and respect
what you have to say so be genuinely
interested and make them feel important
set a high bar for your team and believe
that they will actually succeed one of
the greatest motivators is knowing that
someone believes in you and the fear of
disappointing them if you show your team
trust they will do everything they can
to meet your expectations another tip is
to be positive you're not gonna be very
motivational if you point out everyone's
flaws and nothing is ever good enough
instead try to find the best and each
person from your team
find their strengths and assign them
tasks that they can do the best this
will boost your efficiency and also
minimize frustration among your team if
people are handed a task that they can
manage and they feel comfortable doing
there's a higher chance that they will
complete that task successfully without
many issues so try to accentuate
everyone's positive side and use
mistakes as opportunities to improve
also praise any improvement that you see
because this makes people feel validated
and will make them try even harder to
make sure that they receive the praise
again this technique is called positive
reinforcement and it's something I've
talked about in several of my other
videos
always always accentuate the positive
this will make your team feel safe and
supportive which will boost their trust
and loyalty it's also very important
that you reward improvement the next
step is to be a professional
professionalism doesn't extend only to
technical skills or knowledge but it
also refers but it also refers to having
a set of strengths and values and
sticking well to them whether that be
honesty reliability good energy and
ability to find effective solutions to
problems honesty is one of the most
important as anyone wants to know what
to expect from someone else especially
their boss if you were honest with the
facts and data people know exactly what
the situation is and can work
effectively straight on the goal or
problem but it's better to under promise
and over achieve than to over promise
and stretch your team to their limits in
order to achieve the impossible you must
know what you can and can't do and say
no if something isn't right be
professional about it though and the
last but not least never stop learning
great leaders never stop learning if you
don't have all of the above skills or
qualities don't worry there is no
perfect leader but the best leaders are
the ones who are constantly seeking to
give their best and improve little by
little each day basically leading by
example almost anything can be learned
and all you need to do is be consistent
about it you want to push yourself and
others to go beyond their comfort zone
and develop themselves more so that you
get better each and every day one more
