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.

This is why we have seen a sharp rise in the use of graphs, charts, tables and pictures to present something important, for example, facts and research.

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

Some people think the only thing that matters is whether or not an individual can come up with the correct solution to a problem.  In the current global economy the solution is very important, but not as important as how well the solution can be sold.  Soft skills are very important and in the remainder of this article I will explain why.

Why are soft skills important?

The following are three reasons why soft skills are important:

  1. The outsourcing in the global economy.
  2. Opening lines of communication.
  3. Creating a comparative advantage.

The outsourcing in the global economy

The outsourcing in the global economy

In the current global economy everything that can be outsourced is outsourced.  The labor markets in foreign countries are relatively inexpensive compared to those in the United States.  Due to the cost savings created from outsourcing, jobs within the United States have been lost.  In the current state, employees must have the soft skills to retain their jobs.  The soft skills give the individual workers the advantage over the foreign workers.  The soft skills bring the product or service to life and help to develop loyalty.

10 Qualities An Organizational Leader Should Possess

10 Qualities of an Organizational Leader

An organizational leader is not just defined by his role or some high position in the company, but he is defined by his actions and the traits that he doesn’t only possess but also displays. If you also want to be a great leader – one who can win the hearts of his colleagues – take a look at the following qualities:

1. A Real Organizational Leader Is Honest

A real leader holds integrity, values, morals and trust for his people. An organizational leader who owns these qualities will always have the ability to make people feel good about their environment and their jobs. Remember that employees always prefer to work for leaders whom they can feel comfortable with.

2. A Real Organizational Leader Likes To Communicate

An organizational leader will not be able to make his people understand what he wants to talk about if he does not communicate with people. Employees are not just interested in following an organizational leader, but interested in knowing his goals and values, and communication is the key to doing that. A successful organizational leader has the art of communicating in a way that makes everyone around him stay happy and agree with him at all times.
