The literature is filled with text and discussions about leadership as well as the various roles played by leaders. Here are 7 valuable and simplified lessons extracted from the book “The leader’s Imperative” by J. Carl Ficarrotta
👉🏻 1: Lead with purpose 🎯: Like a captain steering a ship 🚢, a leader sets the direction and purpose for their team. This depends on how good you are in steering, what knowledge and skills you have to enable you to do so? How about the competence of your team?
👉🏻 2: Communicate effectively 🗣️: Like in almost every book, effective communication is key. We have to ensure that right messages are clearly conveyed and understood.
👉🏻 3: Foster a culture of trust 🤝: Again, like in almost all leadership books, trust, not just a handshake 🤝, is the foundation of a strong and effective team.
👉🏻 4: Embrace change 🌀: Change, like a gust of wind 🌬️, can bring new opportunities and challenges for a team. Why change? Check it here >>
👉🏻 5: Focus on results 📈: Like a scoreboard at a game 🏀, tracking results helps a leader and their team understand progress towards goals.
👉🏻 6: Build and develop talent 🌟: Nurturing talent, like planting a seed 🌱, can lead to future growth and success for the team.
👉🏻 7: Continuously improve and innovate 🚀: Continuous improvement, like a rocket 🚀, propels a team towards greater success and accomplishments.
Leaders must inspire their teams, provide support, drive success and achieve higher levels of performance. 🏆
