10 ways to become better leader

10 Ways to become better Leader

1st Principle

Understanding an Exchanged vs Changed life. 

2nd Principle

Serve As a Role Model  

Idealized influence is another key components of transformational

leadership. Transformational leaders exemplify the behaviors and characteristics

that they encourage in their followers.

They walk the walk and talk the talk. As a result, group members admire these leaders and work to emulate

these behaviors.

If you want to become a better leader, work on

modeling the qualities that you would like to see in your

team members.

3rd Principle

Be Passionate

Great leaders are not just focused on getting

group members to finish tasks; they have

agenuine passion and enthusiasm for the

projects they work on.

Let people know that you care about their progress. When one person shares

something with the rest of the group, be sure to tell

them how much you appreciate such contributions.

4th Principle

Listen and communicate

Effectively

Another important characteristic of

transformational leadership involves a focus on

providing one-on-one communication with

members..

Good leaders should express sincere care and concern for the

members both verbally and nonverbally.

By keeping the lines of communication open, these

leaders can ensure that group members feel able to make contributions and receive

recognition for their achievements.

5th Principle

Have a Positive Attitude

Transformational leaders have an upbeat, optimistic attitude that

serves as a source of inspiration for followers.

If leaders seem discouraged or apathetic, members of the group are

likely to also become uninspired.

Even when things look bleak and your followers start to feel

disheartened, try to stay positive.

This does not mean viewing things through rose-colored

glasses.

It simply means maintaining a sense of optimism and hope

in the face of challenges.

6th Principle

Encourage People to make contribution

Let the members of your team know that you welcome

their ideas.

Leaders who encourage involvement from group

members are often referred to as democratic or participative

leaders.

While they retain the final say over all decisions, they

encourage team members to take an active role in coming up

with ideas and plans.

Research has shown that using a democratic leadership style leads

to greater commitment, more creative problem-solving and

improved productivity.

7th Principle

Motivate Your Followers

Transformational leaders also provide inspirational motivation to

encourage their followers to get into action.

Of course, being inspirational isn't always easy.

Fortunately, you don't need motivational speeches to rouse your

group members.

Some ideas for leadership inspiration include being

genuinely passionate about ideas or goals, helping

followers feel included in the process and offering

recognition, praise and rewards for people's accomplishments.

8th Principle

Offer Rewards and Recognition

A good leader knows that offering effective

recognition and rewards is one of the best ways to help

followers feel appreciated and happy.

It may also come as no surprise that happy people tend to perform better at

work.

According to researchers Teresa Amabile and Steven

Kramer…

leaders can help group members feel happier by offering help, removing barriers to success and

rewarding strong efforts.

9th Principle

Keep Trusting God for New Things and

Leading

Who says leadership is a one-way relationship? As you work toward

honing your leadership skills, don't forget to look to your followers for

feedback an inspiration.

Pay attention to the things that have been effective in the past and

always be on the lookout for new ways to inspire, motivate and reward

group members.

10th Principle

Always Celebrate by Giving Back the

Glory for His Grace of success
