How to grow your leadership skills

View Original

How you set yourself apart from other leaders?

Always try to radiate positive energy. It boosts morale, and people will like you and trust you more. You have to be aware of the law of the shadow. The law of the shadow says that your emotions amplify as long as you are the leader. When team morale is high, productivity is going to be high as well.

No one wants their leader to be angry or grumpy. You cannot have a bad attitude and encourage others at the same time. So, therefore show hope of the future because it gives power to the present. 

Prepare yourself for the future

Be proactive and prepare yourself for the things to come. You will be able to be more present at the moment if you have done your homework. You can also handle unforeseen situations in a smoother way.

You build your success, and the better prepared you are, the better the result is going to be. By growing yourself continuously as a leader, you will outperform everyone else eventually.

If you don´t like to be a leader, it is because you don´t have the right skills. The better you are, the more fun your work will become.

Your relations determine how far you go.

Your relations stands for 80% of your results. Be approachable and help others to succeed. By serving others, you lay a foundation for others to help you. Remember that one is too small of a number to achieve greatness.

Value yourself and value others regardless of what they do or what position they have. You never know who is going to be there for you when you need it. 

Increase your value by reading and studying the best. You will save time on your personal development journey. 

Share your knowledge with others. Not only will you internalize your experience better, but you also add value to others. That value will come back to you according to the law of cause and effect. Contributing is also one of the essential traits that every person need i.e.; you will feel good about yourself by sharing.

Be a good listener and help others to believe in themselves. 

Work on the organizational culture

Momentum is your best friend, and when you create a positive high performing culture, you will stand out as a leader. When people are engaged and working together towards a common goal, everyone benefits. 

When everyone feels talented new people that come in will automatically perform in the sense of “This is the way we do things around here.”

Cultural change takes time, and you have to make sure you have the right leaders around you. Also, make sure to create “Cultural warriors” in the organization that will help you change the culture.

Eventually, the cultural shift will take place, and the result will amaze everyone.

Be the change you what to see

To gain trust, you have to be credible. Walk the talk and set an example by the things you do. People don´t do what you tell them to do; they will do what you are doing. Others will follow your example.

The importance of taking action

Leaders take action and don´t sit around and wait for things to happen. Fear of failing is not in the great leader´s vocabulary. They are instead purpose-driven and sees failure as a learning experience. They are also good at thinking outside of the box and will find a way no matter what. 

Be persistent and work on the things you can control, such as your attitude, habits, skills, emotions, personal growth, and progress.

See yourself as a winner, and once you understand that you can and will become your thoughts, your life will never be the same.

Work on yourself every day.

Everyday work on yourself. Train your mind by reading, meditating, and by using positive affirmations. Tell yourself what you would like to see, even though you sometimes are in doubt. Eventually, your thoughts become your reality. 

The most potent fraise you can you is “I am…” and then you can fill in whatever you want (Confident, enough, loved, strong, healthy, grateful, etc.)

Your body is your temple and treat it with respect and give it what it needs such as plenty of water, sleep, exercise (oxygen), healthy food, etc. and you will be able to be more focused and have higher endurance than others.
