| Leadership Tasks are unique |
Leadership Tasks are close to management tasks:
Let us discuss some of the leadership tasks for the sake of setting an
example. Depending on the leadership objectives and goals, these
leadership tasks might vary. These leadership principles listed below
must cascade down through the whole organization.
Team building
When you become a leader and need to build teams, ensure that you
select the right people with the right skills to achieve your goals. Look
after your team members and communicate with them regularly. You
need to help your team members to develop. Develop people via
training or by experience. Agree with your team members on the
objectives and responsibilities that will interest and stretch them.
Always support them while they strive to improve and take on
challenging.
Delegation
Delegation is an important management skill. Planned and educated
delegation decision saves you time, develops you team members,
grooms a successor, and motivates all team members. Poorly planned
delegation will cause you frustration and confuses everyone. This
leadership task is coined as the art of management.
Communication
Communication is critical skill for any leader. Ensure that you listen well,
understand, discuss, consult, involve, and explain the things and issues
that are going around your team members. Ask and learn about what
your team members think. Know how they think improvements should
be done.
Set the example
Some leaders lead by example by doing many tasks. This is labeled
'hands on' leader. Others are more distanced and let their team
members do it (partially delegation). The way you work and lead and
conduct yourself will be the most you can possibly expect from your
team members. If you set low standards then you should expect the
same from your team members.
Credit and blame control
Always give your team members the credit for your successes. Never
take the credit yourself even if it's all down to your leadership work. You
might think it is your work, but it is real team work that achieves
successes. When it comes to the blame, you must take full responsibility.
Never blame a team member publicly. His failure is yours, in fact. So, don’
t blame yourself in public.
Manage your team
You need to have faith in your team members. Give them the longitude
and latitude to work and excel. Coach them when you spot a mistake.
Let’s them make mistakes. This is how they learn. This is how we
learned to walk; we fell few times before we managed to make our fist
steps. Provide your team members with relevant interesting
opportunities Guide then with proper measures and rewards. This is a
very important leadership task.
Decisive decision making
As a leader, you need to make difficult decisions bravely. However, stay
truthful and sensitive when you implement such decision. Don’t take the
decision because you can, take them because you have to reach your
goal. Don’t be afraid of change.
