Leadership
Live The Mission - Promote The Vision -
Establish Environment - Obtain Results - Model
The Rules - Deal With Pressure -Take Ownership
Leadership is when your vision and
communication synchronize to inspire
others to unite. Once united, expect to see
substantive results that exceed the
capacity of any one individual. Vision
gives direction. (Rarely do you find the
desired destination without having
directions).
There is a distinct difference between
leadership and management. Leaders
define the vision. Managers oversee the
task required to achieve the vision. So
some Leaders manage, but some
Managers never lead. What's your vision?
Teamwork
Develops Talent - Inspires Trust - Provides
Feedback - Is Flexible - Collaborative Spirit
- Builds Relationships - Is Dependable
A team produces synergy, where one plus
one equals a lot more than two! Successful
team members are deeply committed to
each other's personal growth and success,
as well as that of the team. Do you have a
team or a group?
As a manager you must develop the ability
to communicate clearly, as well as critique
without destroying the employee’s selfesteem.
Your ability to guide your team,
direct their actions and use errors as
building blocks for future success is critical
to maintaining a strong team.
Empowering Others
Promotes Growth - Provides New Opportunities - Establishes Boundaries
- Allocates Consequences - Allows Decision Making - Acknowledges Contributions
- Engages Employees
One employee may thrive off competition, while another has a deep desire to challenge himself, while
yet a third constantly seeks recognition. It is that internal drive that ultimately propels employees to
reach their fullest potential. As a manager, your job is to empower your team by knowing each team
member's strength, then placing that person in a position where that strength can shine. You then
nurture that empowerment by challenging them to develop through cross training and new
assignments.
