Recently, on our LinkedIn page (give us a follow if you haven’t already), we asked for your best leadership tips (we’re still accepting tips, by the way!).
We wanted to highlight just a few of these leadership tips from our great audience! If you want to get the rest of the awesome tips, click to jump in on LinkedIn.
Treat direct reports as unique individuals; coaching is not a one-size-fits-all model. You have to accommodate their working style, career goals, and respect the type of relationship they want to have with work.
Why we love it
Knowing your people is such a pivotal part of leadership: the more you know them, including how they want to be coached and communicated with, the more effective you will be as a leader.
The most powerful leadership tool you have is your own personal example.
– John Wooden
Why we love it
What you do and how you treat people sets the pivotal tone for your organizational culture.
You can only lead as well as you lead yourself!
Babette Bensousan, Life, Leadership and Business Coach, Mindshifts
Why we love it
If you cannot lead yourself, how will you ever inspire others to follow you? It’s thought-provoking, isn’t it?
You Don’t Need A Title To Lead.
Salil Mehendale, Chief Engineering and Product Officer, QLytics
Why we love it
This is 100% the ethos of Enable Leaders. As we share on our About Us page, “This is not just about CEOs and C-Suite: this is about equipping everyone in our organizations to lead themselves and others more effectively.”
If you strive to be authentic versus right in your leadership, you’ll be more effective as a leader.
Why we love it
Being authentic and being okay with not being right 100% of the time is the right attitude to take. Learn from others, approach things with curiosity and asking, “What if?” can be some powerful actions and values to exhibit.
Those are just a FEW of gems over on LinkedIn. Be sure to check out the post and give us your best leadership tip too!
