decisions that leaders make everyday
DESCRIPTION
There’s no question, leadership requires decision-making. The decisions described below are, in large part, a different kind of decision; they are decisions in front of you all of the time. These decisions are typically decided subconsciously or by default likely because you’ve not considered them at all.TRANSCRIPT
Decisions that Leaders Make Everyday
Mr. Leader, here are the decisions which you make everyday
Decide to focus
If you are consciously diligent about your focus, you may not like your answers
to those questions.
Decide to trust
If you want more trust in your working relationships, begin by being more
trusting. This doesn`t imply blind trust or trusting people to do things they aren`t
prepared for, but it does imply that trust is a decision.
Decide to
set high(er)
expectations
People tend to live up to - or down to - the expectations we have of them
If you want improved performance both of these answers need to be yes.
Decide to
Lead by
example
The question is - is your example what you really want
them to be emulating?
People are watching you. They are watching what you say and what you do. The
reality is you are already leading by example.
Decide to
look for the
good
Are you intentionally looking for what people are
doing right?
People grow from encouragement, a focus on their strengths and positive
reinforcement. It is hard to share those ideas if you don`t see the examples.
Decide to
create a
positive
environment
What environment are you choosing to create?
Environment matters to productivity, job satisfaction, retention, collaboration,
creativity and more. As a leader, you set the tone and are the most important
regulator of the environment.
Decide to engage
You are not just part of the work product, you must be part of the social fabric
of the team.
Decide to start
You are not just part of the work product, you must be part of the social fabric
of the team.
Some things that aren`t being done won`t get started until you go first. That is
the role of the leader.
Decide to Stop
You are not just part of the work product, you must be part of the social fabric
of the team.
The status quo will continue without your leadership.
Decide to learn
The best leaders are learners.
Being a continual learner is a choice.
consider each one individually and make conscious
decisions; decisions that will help you be a more
effective and successful leader.
