"Managers are people who do things right, while leaders are people who do the right thing." Warren Bennis, Ph.D. "On Becoming a Leader" |
The English word "leader" means "a person who guides or directs others". Good leaders are made not born. If you have the desire and willpower, you can become an effective leader. Good leaders develop through a never ending process of self-study, education, training, and experience. This text will help you through that process.
To inspire your workers into higher levels of teamwork, there are certain things you must be, know, and, do. These do not come naturally, but are acquired through continual work and study. Good leaders are continually working and studying to improve their leadership skills; they are NOT resting on their laurels. The basis of good leadership is honorable character and selfless service to your organization. In your employees' eyes, your leadership is everything you do that effects the organization's objectives and their well being.
What makes a person want to follow a leader? People want to be guided by those they respect and who have a clear sense of direction. To gain respect, they must be ethical. A sense of direction is achieved by conveying a strong vision of the future.
Principles of Leadership.
To help you be, know, and do follow these eleven principles of leadership:
Know yourself and seek self-improvement - In order to know yourself, you have to understand your be, know, and do, attributes. This can be accomplished through self-study, formal classes, reflection (размышление, обдумывание).
Be technically proficient - As a leader, you must know your job and have a solid familiarity with your employees' tasks.
Seek responsibility and take responsibility for your actions - Search for ways to guide your organization to new heights. And when things go wrong, they always do sooner or later do not blame others. Analyze the situation, take corrective action, and move on to the next challenge.
Make sound and timely decisions - Use good problem solving, decision making, and planning tools.
Set the example - Be a good role model for your employees. They must not only hear what they are expected to do, but also see.
Keep your workers informed - Know how to communicate with not only them, but also seniors and other key people.
Develop a sense of responsibility in your workers - Help to develop good character traits that will help them carry out their professional responsibilities.
Ensure that tasks are understood, supervised, and accomplished - Communication is the key to this responsibility.
Train as a team - Although many so called leaders call their organization, department, section, etc. a team; they are not really teams... they are just a group of people doing their jobs.
Know your people and look out for their well-being - Know human nature and the importance of sincerely caring for your workers.
Use the full capabilities of your organization - by developing a team spirit, you will be able to employ your organization, department, section, etc. to its fullest capabilities.
Leadership and management are not identical. What is the difference between leading and managing? Managers manage things, but lead people.
