Be results-orientedWhen you are leading a team,
it is important to be results-oriented. Results
are the ultimate measure of success they tell
you what needs to happen next. Sometimes this can
be as simple as asking your team members how they
think their work is going, or maybe you need more
specific data points like sales numbers or
customer satisfaction surveys. Regardless of what
type of information you're collecting and
analyzing, measuring progress towards goals will
help guide your decisions moving forward.

Once you have established the right metrics for
tracking progress (or lack thereof), it's time to
make sure everyone on the team knows their role
in achieving those goals and how they will
benefit from them. You don't want anyone feeling
left out or confused about why their work matters
in achieving business objectives. This will help
ensure everyone stays focused on getting things
done with passion and purpose rather than just
doing busywork because someone told them too.

• Be a helpful leader
• A leader should be able to see the big picture
  and help their team members to do the same. Show
  your team members how their role is important,
  how their contribution is important and how it
  fits in with everything else. This will help them
  feel like they are making a difference and that
  they are part of something bigger than
  themselves.
• You can also show them how they contribute value
  to the organization as a whole. This is an
  effective way to boost morale and improve
  performance because it makes employees feel
  valued by senior management which improves
  motivation levels significantly!

• Be action-oriented
• A leader should be a doer, not a talker. You need
  to take action and get things done. It is
  important to be able to show results. You will
  make mistakes you will fail sometimes but you
  must learn from your failures and move on with
  the lessons learned.
• A leader gets things done easily. As a leader,
  you need to ensure that your team members can
  accomplish their tasks quickly and efficiently so
  that they can complete more work in less time
  than if they were doing it alone or in smaller
  groups without proper direction from a strong
  leader like yourself.

• Be open to different perspectives
• don't agree with your ideas are just wrong. But
  being open to different perspectives is the key
  to becoming a better leader. You need to hear
  what other people think so that you can change
  your thinking and come up with new ideas.

• Listen to others. When you are in a leadership
  role, it is easy to feel like you know everything
  and that people who
• Be open to changing your ideas. If someone
  else's advice makes sense, or if there's an
  easier way of doing things, then go for it.
  Don't stick stubbornly by what worked in the
  past be open-minded enough to adapt as
  necessary, even when this means changing course
  completely (and maybe even blowing up some
  bridges along the way).

9

• Everyone makes mistakes sometimes no one knows
  everything about anything everyone has some
  wisdom worth sharing (even though sometimes our
  egos get in the way). A leader is someone who
  makes things happen/makes changes happen (as
  opposed to just talking about them).

Remember that the key to acquiring leadership
skills is to keep learning while doing. Learning
attitude, confidence and open-mindedness can open
doors to exceptional leadership experiences that
you have never imagined. You can always opt for
online leadership training if you want to improve
further and grow at your workplace.
