Leadership:
understanding your impact
myHRexperts consider Leader, Culture, Appointment, Performance, Recognition and Wellbeing to be the six pillars of a best workplace. You are currently reading about the LEADER pillar.
Best Workplace Pillar 1 : Leader
Are you living up to your leadership potential?
Memorable leaders go out of their way to live their values. Those in leadership often forego indirect communication in favour or direct, clear, face-to-face communication. They are powerful storytellers, which makes them equally powerful engagers and inspiring figures.
In their extensively researched book, The Leadership Challenge, Jim Kouzes and Barry Pozner explained how the business world’s best leaders are those who consistently challenge, inspire, enable, model and encourage their employees. Let’s look at a few strategies that can help you make these learnable behaviours part of your approach to leadership:
Set high expectations and deliver on those expectations time and again.
Encourage your employees to be innovative and look for new ways of doing things.
Your story should illustrate a shared vision and purpose your employees will buy into. Having fun is another way to inspire your people to enjoy their work and do well.
Remove barriers that are standing between them and peak performance. Start the process by listening carefully when they raise issues.
