Here are my tips, FOOD FOR THOUGHT.
Think positive
Understand the power of positive psychology, look at every situation as a learning opportunity. As a leader, you must always set the pace for your team. The easiest way to build this trait is to do positive self-talk each morning.
Be honest & transparent
Great LEADERS possess the leadership skills to appropriately tell people the truth, whether it’s good or bad. PLEASE, this is so important. ALWAYS TELL THE TRUTH. People respect honesty.
Communicate Effectively
So many problems in an organization are the result of a lack of communication. Help those on your team to understand what they need to do. Be as specific as possible. A great leader knows when to talk, but more importantly when to NOT talk. Quiet gives you time to think and process the information correctly.
Know how to inspire TEAM
The fact of the matter is that great leaders know how to inspire. Sometimes, they don’t even know it. You lead your TEAM by example. Cool clear thinking with the appropriate action.
Align your Team
Keep the entire team focused, and aligned towards one long-term goal. What is your long-term goal? Helping your team to grow and earn money on a regular basis. Building your list and helping your TEAM to build their lists. Setting clear, realistic, actionable goals for your team is one of the most important parts of your job.
Be a mentor
If you’d like to be a great boss a major part of your skillset will have to be a mentor. I love this part. I have 2 of the best mentors ever. Their skills are the most valuable to this TRUCKER. They offer recommendations that have worked for them. They have way more experience than I do about what brings in great results and what doesn’t.
A compassionate boss is someone who truly cares about his/her TEAM. You have a listening ear and can relate personally. You help in times of trouble with compassion and gentleness.
Being a leader should be FUN, Energetic, Laughable, Peaceful, Guidance Counselor, Mentor, Devils Advocate when needed. Be yourself. Learn something new every day.
