[April 4, 2021] Having hundreds of expert employees won’t be enough if they don’t have anyone to look up to. A leader acts as an anchor point that keeps the organization or the team in sync. But not everyone possesses the qualities of being a leader?
After all, the people must be keen to work under you if you want to inspire them. A leader must have the right balance of confidence and vulnerability. Now, you have an idea of the qualities of being a leader. The next step is understanding “how to ensure a workplace success?”
Do you know how you can achieve that? Keep scrolling through.
Clearly and Succinctly Explain The Concepts
It is no more surprising fact that the leaders must be great communicators. They have to be. Why? After all, they are directly engaged in projects with clients, management, and the team. So, any missed communication from their end can directly impact the bottom line.
Again, leaders not only have to be active when it comes to communication. They must make their teammates understand the concepts pretty well and troubleshoot their issues. For instance, if you are a part of a marketing team, you need to help your juniors with presentations, online marketing strategies.
And making them understand how to troubleshoot basic software or hardware issues when using a system. For instance, when making a marketing calendar, find out the digital posts similar to those to avoid any mix-ups.
Doing so will tremendously impact the company’s overall success.
Go Extra Mile to Motivate Others
Leaders must be aware of the situation inside their team and create strategies to motivate their team members. This way, they can improve their productivity. For instance, you can use the following skills to motivate your team. These include:
- Always asking for ideas or inputs.
- Open to listening to employee concerns.
- Being persuasive, convincing, and recognizing the efforts.
- Understanding the differences between employees.
- Setting realistic goals.
Instill Positivity
Having a positive attitude goes a long way when working in an organization. You should create a healthy environment so that you can easily help employees be at their best even during those busy or stressful periods. Doing so will allow them to reach out to you if anything bothers them, thereby strengthening the bond. To do that, you must have skills, such as:
- You should have expertise in conflict management
- You must be encouraging, empathetic, and friendly.
- You should respect others and be social so that they don’t fear you.
Establish Comfort Amongst Employees
If someone is not comfortable working with their manager or other employees, it will cause concern when handling important projects. So, you must be able to create an environment where everyone trusts one another. By doing that, you can easily reach the deadlines without anyone pinning the fault over others. So, encourage honesty amongst employees.
For that, you must:
- Create accountability.
- Have and instill consistent behavior with employees.
- Enforce credibility and business ethics.
Conclusion
A good leader always supports people and the organization so that one can stretch their skills, collaborate effectively, and enhance passion. Undoubtedly, all of this combined ensures workplace productivity to the next level.

John, can you tell us what more you do about being a “life coach.” I’ve always been interested in what this entails.
Yes, me too, Doug. Thanks for asking the question.
Thank you for posting on Gen. Satterfield’s leadership website. He is always looking for those that have something to write about that is worthy and has a point that is not always clear. Well done! I suggest you keep writing along these lines, you do have some talent that can be appreciated.
Excellent article, John. Thanks! Do you have other articles I could read that you have authored? Just a thought.
I want to send a blessing to all my fellow citizens, neighbors, and family. Remember that this is the day that Christ rose from the dead and walked among us. Jesus was a leader of men, all peoples everywhere. That is what makes Him so powerful and forever lasting.
Thank you Rev Cain for your sunshine today.
