1 Mins read

While you may excel in some leadership areas, you must also be willing to work on your shortcomings.  That’s why it’s recommended to take the opportunity to expand your knowledge. Here are some strategies to help you grow as a leader

Positivity:

Your employees must get a positive vibe in your presence, they must not be frightened to ask you for your guidance or help. Try to be friendly with your teammates so that they can feel comfortable to convey their opinions and suggestions. You never know who can come up with amazing and innovative ideas. This is an essential step for you to succeed as a leader.

Feedback:

Don’t forget to provide feedback to your team for the work, suggestions, or ideas they come up with. Without proper feedback, they may feel demotivated to work further. A clear response helps them to improve themselves for the future, and it encourages them to work for perfection.

Charity work:

A good leader should come up with projects which help the community in some way. Employees respect companies and leaders that care for their community -it simply raises morale, and increases loyalty to their employer.

Take for instance Sam Mizrahi the founder and president Mizrahi Developments, a private real estate development company in Toronto, is a strong supporter of different charitable organizations both in Toronto and abroad.

Fun:

Having fun with your team stimulates them, and makes tough scenarios and tasks easier to handle.  Stressful situations can effortlessly be tackled by having some fun. As a leader, it’s okay to let loose once in a while to boost the morale of your team.

Show gratitude:

Be thankful. Praising the team for good work on your behalf encourages them. Great leaders offer gratitude and praise. This shows your employees that you are aware of the hard work they have put in.

As you work to sharpen your leadership skills, you’ll grow both personally and professionally.  Those around you will see the hard work and passion you bring to the office, inspiring them to develop their own leadership skills.
