Tips to Be a Highly Effective Legacy Leader

While it is evident that being a leader is much more than your title, how leaders actually manage their teams has a significant impact on the success of the unit as a whole. Being a leader means knowing and encouraging each individual to accomplish his/her own personal goals, and valuing each member for the role they play. Are people excited to be on your team?

Connect and Listen to Your Team

The strength of your team is often dependent on the relationship among the individuals and the sense of value each team member feels. Therefore, the engagement you foster between yourself and the members of your team can have a significant impact on how your team functions. It is imperative that you take the time to authentically connect and listen to the individuals on your team. Get to know each individual personally. Inquire about the way they like to communicate, their style, and even their hobbies. Create a collaborative environment where they feel comfortable to share their ideas knowing that those ideas will be considered and valued.

As the leader, it is your job to understand the skills of each individual and utilize those strengths to make the team most effective. When the strengths and weaknesses of the team are recognized by the leader, each member has a specific role, and the team works as a collective unit to achieve its goals.

Make Progress Your Goal

The best leaders have the interests of their teams at heart. They make it a priority to help individuals achieve their goals and develop their personal brands. They allow team members to take on new tasks that will provide the experience needed to move to the next level. When individuals know their leaders want them to succeed, they feel valued and perform at high levels. Additionally, the leader can provide opportunities for members of the team to take risks and improve on their weaknesses.

Clarify Your Expectations

All members of your team need to be able to communicate your primary goals. It is imperative to the success of your team and your effectiveness that you clearly and consistently address your goals and the progress you are making towards them. Additionally, each member needs to know his/her role in achieving those goals.
