In the age of modern technology and science, it is a proven fact that visual appeal is far more impactful and reaching than something which is written in words or paragraphs. The strength of visual based material also is so strong that it registers with your mind much quicker than a normal piece of information comprising of several hundred words.

3 Steps To Improve Your Leadership Assets

By on 0

In leadership, each leader has their own set of leadership assets or strengths and liabilities or weaknesses. As a leader, you have probably mastered the art of focusing and enhancing your leadership assets. You have probably figured out how to have a quiet confidence when you present yourself to others. This is a skill that comes natural to some and must be learned by others. If you are struggling to find your leadership assets, here are a few things you can do to enhance your leadership assets.3 Steps To Improve Your Leadership Assets

1. Focus on the positive.

It can be very easy to get caught up in thinking you are too old, too young, too inexperienced, too experienced, etc. Each of these qualities can be looked at as weaknesses while at the same time they can be made into leadership assets.

For example, rather than thinking you are too inexperienced for a position, you can take the approach that you are not set in your ways like others with more experience. Another example is that instead of thinking of yourself as being too old or experienced, you can take the approach that you have many experiences that will benefit your team so they don’t make the same mistakes again. One key to leveraging your leadership assets is to think of what you bring to the table and look at the positives that come with it.

2. Strengthen your weaknesses.

I have heard multiple outlooks on how much you should focus on your strengths versus your weaknesses. Some people say that you shouldn’t spend any time on strengthening your weaknesses because you should focus solely on magnifying your strengths. The people with this approach believe that if you focus on your weaknesses, you limit your ability to magnify your strengths which just helps you to be more average. On the flip side, there are people that think you should spend all your time on your weaknesses so you are good at everything.

Three Traits That Separate Good And Bad Leaders

By on 0

This is a guest post by Robert Conrad. He is a former Business student who graduated cum laude with a 3.91 GPA.  Much of his leadership skills were earned through his time as a manager, trainer and mentor for at-risk youth.  In his off-time, Robert enjoys hanging out with his family and playing video games.

Three Traits That Separate Good And Bad Leaders

Have you ever had a horrific boss? I believe that we have all worked a job with a less-than-stellar leader at the helm, and we all wish that they would either get fired or change for the better. However, not all of us can put an objective finger on where or why the disconnection is occurring. A great list of the main traits that describe an effective leader can be found here. When these qualities are not observed, there can be sad and sometimes hilarious repercussions. Three traits that separate good and bad leaders and are extremely important are discussed below.

Honesty

Good Example: Joe openly communicates to his staff letting them know where they stand and how their contributions impact the company. Joe’s employees begin to exhibit his behaviors due to feeling valued and cared about. The employees know exactly how their contributions bring value and a sense of accountability is fostered.

Bad Example: Seth doesn’t enjoy his job nor trusts his employees. As a result, he only tells them what he thinks they “need to know.” His employees can feel this tension and don’t communicate their questions or concerns. Thus, employees don’t feel valued, bottle up their emotions, begin to hate their job and ultimately seek other employment. The company also begins to suffer the rigors of a high turnover rate and heightened training costs to fill the gaps.

The Good Bad and Ugly of Leadership - Honesty

Ability to Delegate

Good Example: After successfully building a foundation of trust with his employees, Joe knows that he can trust their decision-making skills in all situations. Joe can confidently assign tasks to his employees and know that they will follow the example that he had set forth. [Read more…] about Three Traits That Separate Good And Bad Leaders

Three Techniques to Lead By Example

He explained three techniques that every good leader should follow.

Teach followers what to do.

To lead by example, It is very important to teach your followers how to do their jobs effectively and be good leaders by following successful leadership principles. This teaching should come in the form of verbal explanations. On many occasions, this teaching is done in a classroom setting. As the leader, you should verbally teach your followers to be good leaders so they can lead effectively when called upon.

The Risks Of Promoting Without Giving Raises

The Wall Street Journal article The Risks Of Promoting Without Giving Raises by Paul O. Lopez explained that there are many companies that want to promote their employees even though they are experiencing hard economic times.

The Risks Of Promoting Without Giving Raises - Article Review

2 Reasons Why to Promote Without a Raise?

The companies are promoting without raises for two reasons:

    1. They know the employees will take on the additional responsibilities to help the company
  1. The promotion will boost employee morale.

The companies, however, are unable to provide raises with the promotion. There is nothing illegal or inappropriate about doing this.

Factors to Consider When Promoting Without Giving Raises

Companies promoting without giving raises should consider past employees that have been promoted to similar positions and the types of raises they received. They must take particular caution when there are promotions that could be construed as racist or discriminatory. [Read more…] about The Risks Of Promoting Without Giving Raises
