SKILLS,STATEGIES OF HOW TO BECOME GOOD LEADER

By~ james mnzaver

Leaders never stop growing and developing. They have the capacity to keep themselves from falling into a comfort zone. They are lifelong students.

Do you have a drive and goal to become a great leader?

All leadership qualities can be learned. The hard part is identifying the qualities that you must learn to succeed as an effective leader. Follow these steps today to find out how to improve your leadership skills.

HOW TO IMPROVE LEADERSHIP SKILLS BY IMPROVING YOURSELF

A key to developing leadership qualities is to read, study and take courses. All leaders are readers. Even though they are swamped with work, they never stop taking in new information. They never stop reading business books and magazines, attending conferences, getting into discussions, and learning what is going on.

WHAT LEADERSHIP QUALITIES ARE YOU MISSING?

Can you identify any qualities of effective leadership that you may be missing? It may be a hard thing to do, but the great thing about doing this is that when you know what qualities you are missing, you can work to improve these things about yourself.

People will be born with certain leadership qualities but missing others. Most great leaders became great because they identified the leadership qualities that they were missing and then deliberately set out to acquire those skills.

THE RULES OF MAKING YOURSELF A BETTER LEADER

As you’re working to make yourself better, remember these three rules:

Rule #1 It doesn’t matter where you came from. It only matters where you are going. Don’t worry about any past opportunities that you may have missed or any mistakes you may have made because of a weakness. That is all past. It is the future that counts. Just because you haven’t been a leader before doesn’t mean you can’t become one.

Rule #2 If you want your life to get better, you have to get better. If you want to be an effective leader, then you need to develop your leadership qualities. Work on developing any quality that you think you need whether it is integrity, patience or delegation, until you have perfected it, then move on and practice another.

Rule #3 You can learn anything that you want to learn. You can become anything you want to become. Leaders know what they want, and then set out about making it happen.

4 STEPS TO DEVELOP LEADERSHIP SKILLS RIGHT NOW!

Effective leaders are always looking to improve themselves. In four basic steps, you can begin to improve and become a better leader right now:

1) Do more of certain things. Do more of those things that are of greater value to you and more important to achieving results as a leader.

Resolve today to do more reading or to work on improving on the leadership qualities you may be missing.

2) Do less of certain things. At the same time, you must deliberately decide to reduce the amount of time you spend on certain activities that impede your success as a leader.

3) Start to do those things you aren’t doing that you need to be doing. What are the skills, competencies or knowledge that you need in order to become a better leader? Identify them, then write them down. How can you go about learning these qualities?

4) Stop doing certain things all together. There may be activities that are no longer relevant to your goals as a leader. Step back and evaluate all your activities from the perspective of what you are trying to achieve. You may find that what was once important is no longer important and should no longer take up your time.
