- Have the guts to stick by your judgment and beliefs
Clear leadership is highly appreciated by employees, as it allows them to understand their position and relate to the decision. Building on one’s own values and persona can make leadership appear authentic and consistent. Unclear leadership often stems from various fears, but self-confidence and self-awareness can help handle these fears effectively. Core values for effective leadership include honesty, commitment, punctuality, and fairness. Examples of such values include honesty, delivering high-quality work, keeping promises, punctuality, and fairness. By focusing on these values, leaders can create a more authentic and consistent environment for their employees.
To create effective leadership, consider your core values such as honesty, commitment, and fairness. Consider your personal characteristics, such as structure, care, engagement, and directness. These values can guide your leadership style. Three guiding principles are essential and easily understood by employees. Communicate these values regularly to ensure they understand your position. Living and acting in accordance with these principles is a sign of courage. If you’re confused, consider how someone with these principles would act in a given situation. This approach helps you understand your position and make informed decisions.
- The importance of taking full responsibility
A leader should always take full responsibility for their results, decisions, and choices. This involves not blaming anyone or making excuses, not waiting for someone else to do it for you, and doing the things you promised to yourself and others. This can be about day-to-day tasks like being on time or answering emails and phone calls effectively. Taking full responsibility is a way of being and approaching things, and it can be seen in the media as a way of acting in a way that contradicts the overarching values. Leaders should constantly ask themselves if their actions contribute to the desired result or if it is just them being busy.
