Team leadership skills - how many books, articles and speeches are
there about leadership? Tons! Candidly, our focus is not on the
CEO or Board of Directors, but on those that are close to the action;
that are responsible for getting the job done. Meaning supervisors,
assistant managers, managers and those team leaders who are put
in charge of a team without the hierarchical power of a formal reporting
structure and all have at least one thing in common: the responsibility
to get things done with the group they are leading. We subscribe
to the concept that there are some God-given innate leadership skills
such as curiosity, initiative, charisma and involvement. However
many leadership skill behaviors are learned: business acumen, trust,
being a good listener, credibility, articulate a cause, ego-restraint,
humility, compassion, and courage. As Ben Zender states in the Art
of Possibility, "A good leader is like a good orchestra leader:
knowing when to empower individuals to lead thus maximizing each
person's contribution." Now some feel that working with team
members in a collaborative manner smacks of permissiveness and violates
the image of the strong leader. But a true leader can empower others,
like the orchestra leader while retaining an influencing relationship
that at the end of the day gets the needed results. Give us a call
today, our focus is on enabling you to use all of your natural abilities
and prove the tools of learned behavior of leadership techniques
to become the best leader you can be.
