11 Simple Concepts to Become a Better Leader | Serving and Leadership | Scoop.it

Being likeable will help you in your job, business, relationships, and life. I interviewed dozens of successful business leaders for my last book, to determine what made them so likeable and their companies so successful. All of the concepts are simple, and yet, perhaps in the name of revenues or the bottom line, we often lose sight of the simple things - things that not only make us human, but can actually help us become more successful. Below are the eleven most important principles to integrate to become a better leader:

donhornsby's insight:

(From the article): The world is more complex than ever before, and yet what customers often respond to best is simplicity — in design, form, and function. Taking complex projects, challenges, and ideas and distilling them to their simplest components allows customers, staff, and other stakeholders to better understand and buy into your vision. We humans all crave simplicity, and so today's leader must be focused and deliver simplicity.

Leadership based on key principles, has been demonstrated to be an effective approach to gaining the support of followers, and then getting those followers to do what they need to do, to achieve results.


This excellent article, suggests that developing likeability is the first step on the path to becoming a better leader, and it outlines 11 important principles for business owners and managers to integrate into their leadership practices to become better leaders.

Career Coach: What are you doing to keep learning?

Career Coach: What are you doing to keep learning? | Serving and Leadership | Scoop.it
From www.washingtonpost.com - July 16, 2012 5:59 PM
Career Coach | In today’s complex environment, continual learning is more important than ever.

 

None of us can afford to remain stagnant in our knowledge. Organizations need to ensure that individuals keep learning. To do this, they must create a culture of self-directed learners who are excited about learning and incentivized to advance knowledge and skills.

 

We can no longer view learning as a one-time event where we attend a college or university, get a degree and are then “done” learning. Instead, learning should be an ongoing process. We have to keep enhancing our skills in critical thinking, creativity and innovation, analytics, people and leadership and networking, among other knowledge and skills.

 

To do this, create a continual learning development plan and identify personal and professional goals and a realistic timeline for achieving those goals.
