What defines an “effective” leader?
For effective leadership you need to cultivate and maintain an environment to drive both individual and team performance.
What 5 qualities should you focus on however?
✅️ Emotional intelligence
This is the ability to understand and manage your emotions, as well as recognise and influence the emotions of those around you.
✅️ Employee Engagement
Research also shows that managers account for 70 percent of variance in employee engagement, highlighting how critical it is for companies to ensure that business leaders are equipped with the skills and knowledge to bring out the best in themselves and others.
✅️ Negotiation
Whether you’re interviewing for a job, pitching an idea to a client, or asking for a raise, honing your negotiation skills is a worthwhile endeavour.
Negotiation is, by nature, chaotic, as you don’t know the desired outcome of those seated across the table.
That said, there are things you can do to improve your odds of getting what you want.
✅️ Decision Making
Strong decision-making is critical to business success.
However, a recent survey by management consulting firm McKinsey shows that just 20 percent of professionals believe their organisations excel at it.
✅️ Organisational Change Management
Organisational change refers to when a company or business alters a significant component of its organisation, such as its culture, the underlying technologies or infrastructure it uses to operate, or its internal processes.
Organisational change management is the method of leveraging that change to bring about a successful resolution, and it typically includes three major phases: Preparation, implementation, and follow-through.
