Leadership<br />
Live The Mission - Promote The Vision -<br />
Establish Environment - Obtain Results - Model<br />
The Rules - Deal With Pressure -Take Ownership<br />
Leadership is when your vision and<br />
communication synchronize to inspire<br />
others to unite. Once united, expect to see<br />
substantive results that exceed the<br />
capacity of any one individual. Vision<br />
gives direction. (Rarely do you find the<br />
desired destination without having<br />
directions).<br />
There is a distinct difference between<br />
leadership and management. Leaders<br />
define the vision. Managers oversee the<br />
task required to achieve the vision. So<br />
some Leaders manage, but some<br />
Managers never lead. What's your vision?<br />
Teamwork<br />
Develops Talent - Inspires Trust - Provides<br />
Feedback - Is Flexible - Collaborative Spirit<br />
- Builds Relationships - Is Dependable<br />
A team produces synergy, where one plus<br />
one equals a lot more than two! Successful<br />
team members are deeply committed to<br />
each other's personal growth and success,<br />
as well as that of the team. Do you have a<br />
team or a group?<br />
As a manager you must develop the ability<br />
to communicate clearly, as well as critique<br />
without destroying the employee’s selfesteem.<br />
Your ability to guide your team,<br />
direct their actions and use errors as<br />
building blocks for future success is critical<br />
to maintaining a strong team.<br />
Empowering Others<br />
Promotes Growth - Provides New Opportunities - Establishes Boundaries<br />
- Allocates Consequences - Allows Decision Making - Acknowledges Contributions<br />
- Engages Employees<br />
One employee may thrive off competition, while another has a deep desire to challenge himself, while<br />
yet a third constantly seeks recognition. It is that internal drive that ultimately propels employees to<br />
reach their fullest potential. As a manager, your job is to empower your team by knowing each team<br />
member's strength, then placing that person in a position where that strength can shine. You then<br />
nurture that empowerment by challenging them to develop through cross training and new<br />
assignments.
