Communicate with experts more and learn to be a leader

Many enterprises have this phenomenon: although leaders have great power and constantly put forward requirements, plans and strategic objectives, employees are still like a cloud of sand. One reason is that these leaders lack leadership. In psychology, leadership refers to the ability to make full use of human and material resources to improve the efficiency of the team within the scope of jurisdiction. Its essence is "influence", which can lead the team to develop in a coordinated way.

Bethel, a global leadership expert, believes that people with leadership have eight qualities:

Competency. This means doing the right thing at the right time and in the right way. They have a strong sense of goal, can coordinate all aspects of resources and make objective and rational decisions, and lead the team to achieve positive results.

Responsibility. This is responsible for your words and deeds, reflecting the quality of reliability and credibility. Among the leadership qualities, the trust generated by responsibility is the most important. If a leader is irresponsible and has good results, the leader will also do something unreliable and damage the interests of the team.

Openness. Its core is inclusiveness and welcomes the constructive views of all parties. An open organization and leadership will make employees feel respected and have a sense of belonging, thus improving work efficiency and job satisfaction.

match word to deed. When leaders' behaviors and values are consistent, they will gain the trust of their followers; If you say one thing and do another, you will lose "popular support".

Know how to communicate. Honest, clear and concise communication is a powerful weapon to establish friendly relations with others. Good words and good words are important characteristics of many excellent managers.

Insight. It can help leaders see the direction before major changes. This requires leaders to know more about history, broaden their perspective and make more informed decisions.

Control. It is often called "aura", which controls the whole field in terms of professionalism and authority, and allows members to follow willingly.

modest. Only by recognizing your weaknesses and admitting your mistakes can you be approachable and respected by the leaders.

In a word, leadership is a kind of ability from the inside to the outside: first, the quality of the inside infects, moves, persuades people, and then solves specific problems with effective methods. Whether in the leadership position or not, we can cultivate leadership.

First of all, communicate with real experts. Thinking is hierarchical, and people in different positions think differently. If you want to become a leader, you must approach successful leaders and improve your ideological level through exposure. If there is no opportunity for face-to-face communication, you can also look at the stories and biographies of excellent leaders to cultivate leadership thinking.

Secondly, pay attention to "internal skill" cultivation. If a person has a noble character, he will naturally form an influence and make people around him be attracted, infected and driven unconsciously.

Finally, practice deliberately. Avoid repetitive work in life and work. Practice and develop leadership with thinking and goals. The essence of practice is to keep doing what you can't do well. In any industry or field, deliberate practice is the most powerful learning method for people who want to improve their abilities.
