A Good Leader
A mark of good leader is to provide constant motivation to his team to maintain excellence and quality in results. A good leader is always looking for ways to improve production and standards. Here are six skills you can develop in working to attain quality in the team.
Observation
This is an important aspect that often gets neglected due to the demands on a leader’s time and schedule. Observation and regular visits to the work environment need to be scheduled into the calendar. Observing employees’ work procedures and workflow is foundational to implementing adjustments to improve results. To have credibility, a leader needs to be seen and known to be up to date-with what is happening in the workplace.
Monitor Employee Performance
Employee performance needs to be monitored in mutually acceptable ways. Policies and procedures need to be clear. Conferencing should be on a regular basis and not just when there is a problem. Assessments and evaluations should not be merely all formality or paperwork to be done. Individual and group conferencing should be undertaken with the expectation of ongoing professional development. There should be frequent encouragement and clear criteria for ongoing goals both for the group and individual.
Implementation of Professional Development Programs
A good leader evaluates weaknesses and provides training and development strategies to strengthen the weaker skills in the team.
Demonstrates Working Knowledge and Expertise
Good leadership comes from a place of strong knowledge and experience of the production and process leading to results. If a leader does not possess all the expertise and knowledge personally he should then hold regular consultations with experts. This is important in order to maintain an accurate and informed overall picture.
Good Decision Making
Good leadership is characterized by the ability to make good decisions. A leader considers all the different factors before making a decision. A clear decision creates confidence in the leadership.
Ability to Conduct and Evaluate Research
Ongoing review and research is vital in order to keep on the cutting edge in business. While managing the present to ensure ongoing excellence in performance and product, a good leader is also able to look toward the future. Conducting and evaluating research is an important way of planning and being prepared for the future.
Excellent leadership is always proactive rather than reactive. By developing these six managerial skills a good leader is on the journey to becoming a great leader.
