Happy Morning, today morning I got fabulous suggestions from one of my mentor, thank you God, A leader, is not born Dinesh... A leader is created and the whole process starts inside the most dangerous place youll ever encounter - your own mind. Some very good brain food for you in todays email... How can you become a strong leader who inspires others, drives people toward excellence, holds people accountable, and instills a sense of trust? Learning what makes a great leader is your first step. Here are some things you can do to become the leader youve always wanted to be Dinesh: 1. Control yourself. Every great leader in history has had to become a master of self-discipline and willpower in order to stay focused on the big picture. If you dont have a goal or the drive to achieve it, you cant lead others to attain theirs. * Follow through in everything you do. As challenging as it may be, you need to be disciplined enough to be where you need to be, when you need to be there, whether you want to or not. By being strong in your resolve and resisting temptation to give up, you are setting an example for others to live up to. * Choose your emotional response to a situation carefully. Sometimes youll need to practice the art of silencing your inner thoughts when theyre not appropriate in order to set a positive example. 2. Project your goals. If the people youre leading dont completely understand the deeper meaning in their work, they wont share your vision or work ethic. Every step of the way, communicate with your team to make sure theyre on the same wavelength and know what you expect of them. * Get your team involved in the planning process and the implementation of your ideas. This gives everyone a greater sense of ownership toward the end result. 3. Praise highly and criticize constructively. The way you praise and criticize others can make all the difference in being able to lead effectively. * Make sure you publicly praise the people who do excellent work for you. Youll give the person a sense of accomplishment and the drive to do even better. * When someone does something wrong, offer constructive criticism and do it privately. Suggest solutions on how they can improve and take the time to answer any questions. Theyll accept your input more willingly if they know its done to help and not to harm. 4. Know your people. You cant truly lead a group of people unless you truly understand their hopes, dreams, struggles, pains, and goals. All the good intentions in the world mean nothing unless you have a true sense of the people youre working with. * Talk to your team and get to know them. Getting to know each other on a personal level will strengthen the bond between you. Theyll want to do better for you because youre more than just a boss. * Be their leader, first, and their friend second. Youre their leader and that means that you have to make difficult decisions from time to time. These decisions cannot be affected by personal relationships. 5. Make the hard call. There are times when you have to bite the bullet and make some unpleasant decisions. Firing, demoting, and holding people accountable for their actions can be very hard at times. As a leader, its your responsibility to handle these matters. Regardless of where your leadership role takes you, believe that you can be a strong leader. Remember that in order to lead others, you must be disciplined yourself. After all, your actions will speak louder than anything you can say. In order to gain the respect of others, strive to lead by example in every area of your life Dinesh. When you follow these simple guidelines, youll be well on your way to becoming a true leader! Hope you enjoyed todays email, that will hopefully compel you to make that shift as the leader you truly are Dinesh.
