A lot of business consultants like to emphasize the differences between a leader and a manager. What are the qualities of a leader and the importance of leadership management and coaching?
There have been so many seminars and training programs put off for leaders. But with all of this new training, how are you ensuring that staff are being looked after as well? We get it, the qualities of leadership can be taught, but it takes the personality of the leader and the personalities of the company people to ensure that leadership is something that works in your company and not just some buzz words about how great a manager is. There is a difference between a manager and a leader! So, what are some of the qualities of a leader;
Corporations face a challenge assigning and developing effective leaders and strategists in place to deliver, so where does that leave staff? Confused about all this training that their leaders have received with no real result. So many programs are out there to look after leaders and owners of organizations, but the high percentage of people are staff members, working to make the owners dream a reality. And if you are in the public sector, to serve the taxpayers. Leadership management is required to ensure that as leaders grow and mature, that everyone else around them is doing the same. Sure, some people don’t want any more than to come to work, do their job and go home, but they still have wants and needs from a company and that is usually to be included. Just because you took a leadership program or have been designated as a leader, you still need to manage that responsibility.
Remember, not everyone wants to become a leader or manager. But they still want to perform well. What are you doing as an organization to look after these staff groups and do these staff even know how to approach leaders to request information or talk about anything? Leadership coaching is a very important topic to cover in regular business meetings so that no one is left out.
Open door policies are just a warm and fuzzy phrase if nothing backs it up!
