Get access to the most important page from the “Best Leader of the Year” Playbook
Success of your career/ business is directly proportional to how good of a leader you are.
(This post talks about the biggest strength of the most loved leaders)
Being a good leader isn't easy.
Being a leader who is looked up to, admired and respected is even more difficult.
However, one particular trait plays an extremely crucial role in a leader/ mentor in gathering all the admiration and respect.
And that trait is empathy.
A leader who treats their role with a strong sense of responsibility will always display unusually high levels of empathy.
You will find these leaders act less like bosses and more like mentors with all of their team members.
They have a unique bond with every team member. They know what their personal goals and motivations are.
Such leaders also don't find people for a particular role. They find the right role for every candidate in the team.
It's said that people don't quit organisations, they quit their managers/ teams.
Want to identify a true outperformer in an organisation?
Ask their team members if they believe their motivation/ output would be affected if their manager/ leader was to change.
If a torrent of replies is a resounding yes, you know your organisation has managed to nurture a true asset. Make sure you create more leaders like these in your team/ company.
In an ideal scenario, the method to hone such eminent leadership is easier than you'd think.
Create a clear operating procedure that runs smoothly and let the manager/ leader deal with the process and the team.
Every effective leader is a function of clarity, autonomy and well laid expectations.
Give your managers and leaders these tools and see how they manage to outperform more often than you'd imagine.
Do share your thoughts on this and also reflect upon your experiences with leaders/ managers who have inspired you through their mentorship and the impact they have had in your life.
