Building relationships is what I would think is the hardest skill for a leader to become really good at. All leaders are somewhat biased towards people they know and people that share the same beliefs, so to be able to be unbiased might be a challenge. As well as building relationships with everyone can be an obstacle because not many people come to an agreement with everyone. A skill that can help a leader continue getting better at is production. A leader could set mini goals that would help them get work done, which could apply anywhere in life. Another skill a leader could keep getting better at is personal mastery. They are set goals that can be made at any point in time for a leader.Leaders build trust by actually listening to people's opinions, and trying their best to satisfy them. They give clear directions by being stern but patient towards everyone. It's important to let others take on different tasks so the leader's plate is too full and they become overwhelmed.

I think the hardest skill for a leader to be able to achieve is production. As much support and planning someone can do to start and act on a project, there is only so much a single person can do. A leader is still trusting others to help put the goal into action or complete the project, but at the end of the day it still depends on the other people inside of the group. The leader could put forth 110% of effort as well as support and listen to everyone's ideas, but if the leaders the only one putting in the work, production is difficult.

Two skills I think everyone, especially leaders could work to strengthen is adaptability and personal mastery. Adaptability is something everything in the world needs to do. Leaders need to help a group flow and work together, that means taking everyone's ideas and helped them all correlate. If a leader doesn't sustain the ability to be able to come up with a solution in unideal circumstances, being a leader may be difficult for them. A leader needs to be able to adjust to circumstances, adjust to everyone and problem solve. Secondly a leader needs to work on personal mastery. No one is perfect, but if they are versatile in their skills and are willing to learn new things then I think that already puts them at a great start to becoming a leader. A leader needs to be able to admit they still need to get better at doing something, be willing to get better at said thing, and be able to teach someone else how to do the same thing. Being a leader is helping others and letting them teach you as well, no one is a master at anything, theirs always something more to learn.

Leaders can build trust by showing they are just like everyone else. Just because they have the title as leader they need to act like everyone else, not Superior. They can also build trust by collaborating and talking with everyone around them, get to genuinely know people. Get to know who the person rather than "This is Lily she used to work at cracker barrel," you should genuinely get to know the person. To give clear directions I would just explain the task in a couple different ways then answer questions. It is so important to delegate responsibilities because we are not a group if only one person is doing all of the work.

Of the eight skills, developing others can be the hardest for a leader to master. To be able to develop others a leader first needs to have a relationship building skills that aid them into getting to know their followers. Additionally they will need to be able to communicate with their people to give effective feedback to cultivate each person's individual skills. It can be difficult for a leader to develop others as it requires them to truly understand the strengths and weaknesses of their people and what it will take to help that person grow.

A leader can get better at communication in their everyday life by practicing it with people they interact with everyday. By actively listening to colleagues or communicating effectively with their employers, leaders can grow their communication skills and apply it to when they lead. A leader can also develop personal mastery in their everyday lives. At work they can receive feedback on their work performance and practice commitment to tasks at work.

Leaders build trust with their followers by listening to what they say, following through on their promises, and through leading by example. Leaders give clear directions through effective communication to the group. They state what task needs to be done and how it should be done, as well as who they need to complete the task. It's important for leaders to allow others to take on responsibility for tasks as it's impossible for a leader to do everything themselves. Additionally, by allowing other members of the group to have responsibilities, they foster that person's skills as well as build trust.

I think that building relationships can be the hardest skill to learn, because you can't really get good at it, everyone is different in their own different ways and getting to know them and getting them to understand you can be difficult. In the article, it talks about how building friendships means being considerate of your teammate's feelings, not making judgements based on unfair biases, and how to maintain team coherency. I think 2 skills that leaders can work on and get better at are both building relationships, and personal mastery. Getting better at building relationships consists of listening to how others feel and seeing things through others viewpoints. Getting better at personal mastery can be done by first admitting that sometimes, your wrong, and thats okay. Everyone can learn from their mistakes. I think leaders build trust though being relatable and giving others' voices power, even though they may not be the leader. Sometimes, people need to hear directions through ways that resonate with themselves and sometimes that isn't the same for everyone. Finally, I think that giving members tasks is important, because it lets every member stay involved.

The hardest skill for a leader to become really, really good at is developing others. Developing others means being responsible for finding others talents and attempting to cultivate a passion. Sometimes helping others can get messy. Conflict may arise when trying to help others. For a leader to become really good at developing others they must go into it with an open mind and superb attitude.

Two skills a leader couple keeps getting better at is adaptability and production. With adaptability a leader must think creatively and adjust to circumstances. For production, a leader must achieve actions so they receive results. Leaders must be motivated and passionate.

Leaders build trust by being considerate of others' feelings and being compassionate even when faced with criticism. In order for a leader to give clear instructions they need to develop teaching skills and learn to articulate directions well. This may take time, but it's important to work on and improve on overtime. It's important to let others take on the task and delegate responsibilities because it builds a sense of community. This also improves the group's overall ability to work together (teamwork).

Out of the eight skills, I believe that personal mastery would be the hardest for a leader to become really really good at. Personal mastery requires a leader who wants to learn from their mistakes, accept constructive criticism, and continue improving themselves. The majority of people don´t like to admit that they are in the wrong, and aren´t open to hearing criticism pertaining to them. A leader who is strong and dedicated has to stay committed and willing to grow while pushing through tough times even when they are in the wrong, and things seem to be going in the other opposite direction.

Two skills a leader could continue improving in real life are building relationships and communication. A good leader can improve and build upon their communication skills by being open to hearing input from everyone they are leading, they can also be clear when explaining what they expect from everyone else while trying to accomplish and get tasks done in a timely manner. They can improve and build upon relationships by treating everyone the same, resolving conflicts with group members who aren´t agreeing or on the same page, and learning how to adapt to other ways of working with others.

I believe leaders build trust by being dependable in all situations, allowing people to feel comfortable coming to them and asking for help when they encounter a problem. By also keeping their promises to everyone and listening to input from group members, allowing them to feel like they have a say in different matters. Leaders give clear directions by taking their time with everyone and being patient, by setting realistic expectations and explaining what needs to be accomplished in a day. It is also important for leaders to let others take on tasks and delegate responsibility to different projects so people are allowed to contribute, develop their own skills, and feel trusted as everything is a group effort. Overall, a good leader helps guide their team into being the best they can be rather than trying to outshine others in a group and control everything.

Out of the eight skills, I feel like building relationships would be the hardest for any leader to become good at. Building relationships with peers can be difficult especially when many people don't see eye to eye on certain topics. Having this skill can take time and patience but can be easy to accomplish with hard work. Building relationships consists of making sure everything is running smoothly within a group as well as finding methods of leadership that work for the group as a whole.

Two skills that any leader can become better in, with some practice would be adaptability and production. Being adaptable can come in handy with any situation, such as adapting to a new teachers way of teaching that will lead to the expansion of knowledge. Another good skill that leaders can develop, is production. Leaders can't be leaders without something to show for it. An example of this can be putting in the work for a class that is hard but then benefiting from the hard work by getting a good grade on a test. Leaders build their trust by leading by example, meaning that what they say is what they do.

Leaders give clear directions by being reliable in their help and provide straightforward information that is universally understandable.

It's important for leaders to delegate responsibility and let others take over because it allows for personal growth and growing trust within groups.

Communication is the hardest skill for a leader to become good at. Listening to others and taking consideration of their ideas while also setting back your own ideas for the good of the group is really hard to do, especially when you like to take charge of work.

Adaptability is a skill that many leaders can work on in real time through always trying to think outside of the box. Instead of doing things the explicit set way, try to incorporate everyone's ideas to create a new path in case of setbacks and issues.

Production is also another skill that leaders can work on. A way to work on your production skill is to delegate tasks to group mates. Instead of doing all the work, delegate tasks to others so you can divide and conquer to achieve results faster.

The article talks about how leaders affect both the work and the people they work with. Leaders build trust with their group mates by setting a good example for others to follow and taking everyone into consideration. They provide direction by giving clear expectations and delegate responsibility to build team quality/morale.

1. I think the hardest of the eight skill to get really really good at is adaptability because being adaptable it a hard to train skill as t adapt you have to come across many different barriers and unexpected events. Anticipating the changes that can happen is also difficult when so many things can and will go wrong.

2. Leaders can keep getting good at both personal mastery and leadership. Personal mastery is a lifetime skill that requires a consistent effort and actively focusing on it can lead to growth. Leadership is also a skill that leaders will get better at the more a leader leads and completes tasks the stronger their leadership skills will be.

3. Leaders build trust with teammates by going through with decisions and delegating tasks to members of the group. To give clear direction to group members leaders must be concise and communicate effectively the better the leader the clearer the message. Delegating tasks build trusts with members by showing that they can be trusted with completing tasks, but also delegating tasks takes advantage of the numbers advantage that a group gains. Delegating also helps attack group think, which can hurt a groups creativity.

I think personal mastery would be the hardest for a leader to become really good at. This is because it requires multiple other skills to be put into use such as perseverance, acceptance, and taking accountability. It also is the one that people struggle the most with, especially when it comes to accepting criticism and learning from mistakes. It can also be hard to stay positive and stray away from perfectionism which is crucial in personal mastery. It can be difficult to let others have a say in who you are and what you do, but that's what it takes to be a great leader. It involves being open to making improvements and trying to change, as well as accepting failure and mistakes, which is something leaders can struggle with sometimes.

Personal mastery is the most difficult of the 8 skills for a leader to excel at. The article states that leaders who master themselves seek improvement and display personal commitment. This is incredibly difficult as we as people are not open to changing easily and we struggle to change the traits and actions we do on our own. The article also mentions that a good leader should be able to take constructive criticism from others. Once again, common behavior amongst people makes it so that we struggle to differentiate criticism from positive and negative. Overall, it's difficult for many people to be able to take criticism from others without offense and change.

Adaptability and developing others are 2 skills leaders can further grow. No matter what point a person is in their life, you'll always be in a situation regarding group work. As a leader, if there are missing materials or there's something that a majority of the group cannot do, then a leader must be able to adapt to substitute these materials or to finish the task, hence adaptability. Regarding the development of others, a good leader must not only develop themselves and grow alone, but should aid the group into growing. A leader should help others hone their skills at a specific or several different tasks which allow these people to grow their abilities, and develop themselves into a quality resembling leaders.

Leaders build trust by aiding others who could be struggling at a task, or in general being a great helping hand. To build trust is to prove how dependable you are. Leaders give clear directions by properly understanding the work they're in and furthermore, upon understanding the task at hand, delegate work to others and allow them to grow their skills. Delegation is important because when delegating tasks to others, it allows others a chance at growth and for others to see their strong suits regarding a specific task

One of the hardest would be developing others as it isn't u developing the skill its somebody else and everybody learns and does things at a different pace which may cause issues between the two people. In real life a leader could get better at developing others by using an enthusiastic tone and making it fun for the other person as well as giving prizes as positive reinforcement to make them want to do better for a prize. Another one of the hardest ones would be personal mastery as you cant see everyone of your flaws you would have to really go into depth about yourself and think what you could be better at and give yourself constructive criticism. One way they could get better at this is by giving themselves constructive criticism or asking others for it or they could maintain high energy and constantly stay positive so they can achieve their goal without being discouraged.

To me the hardest skill for a leader to master would be personal mastery. I believe this because most people are afraid to admit to their own mistakes and usually don't take accountability, its usually something that takes years to master. Getting up every day and still staying in a happy positive mood is something that a lot of people struggle with as everyone has their off days but being able to master this skill is something that is quite impressive to pull off. The kind of leader who gets up in the morning ready to improve day by day is someone you would definitely want on your side as someone who improves every day as a leader is somebody with a lot of potential. In all the hardest skill for a leader to master is definitely personal mastery as it takes a lot of will power to admit that you were wrong and to improve your self day by day as a leader. A leader could improve adaptability and personal mastery by pushing their comfort zone more than normal and taking notes on things they can do better. leaders build trust by making statements that can be backed up by hard evidence as without evidence your argument has no substance. Leaders must give clear and simple instructions to others guiding them through processes that they might not understand. It is important to let others take on tasks because if people were told how to do everything then people wouldn't be able to adapt to hardships that may come their way.

Personal Mastery is the hardest for a leader to excel at. It's hard for people to admit when they need to learn, and many people don't know themselves 100%. It takes a lot of time to become a person that's able to grow in order to help and teach others.

Also, Adaptability is also present in day to day life, sometimes things don't always go as planned so it's frequent that plans have to change and that a leader has to adapt to that change. Leaders build trust by letting others have a say in their projects and being someone that others can talk to. Leaders give clear instructions by giving certain people jobs so no one is working on wrong things. It's important to let others take on tasks because it helps them grow into a leader themselves.

Adaptability is often the most difficult skill for a leader to master because it requires constantly adjusting to diverse work styles and unpredictable environments. It asks leaders to stay open-minded, handle setbacks constructively, and encourage risk-taking even when things do not go as planned.

Personal Mastery: A leader can keep improving by actively accepting constructive criticism, learning positive lessons from their mistakes, and pursuing resources to grow professionally.

Developing Others: A leader can strengthen this skill by giving timely and objective performance feedback, providing coaching opportunities, and recognizing team members who put in extra effort.

Leaders build trust by keeping their promises, maintaining confidentiality, and consistently acting in an honest and ethical manner.
