The Shearin Group Leadership Tips

Becoming a leader at work can be a challenge. You want to be a leader but you do not carry the title. So, how do you go about positioning yourself as a leader at work?

There are many ways, but listed below are some that comes to mind. You can use these actions that will inevitably position yourself as a leader at work without being too obvious about your ambitions.

If you want to become a leader at work, incorporate these actions into your daily routine:

1. Take Responsibility

You want to be a leader at work, learn to take responsibility for anything that has your fingerprint on it. That means, as long as you participate in the project, you have a hand at the failure of the project.

Learn to take responsibility for not just the good things, but even bad ones. Admit to your mistakes - it’s okay to be wrong. You cannot learn if you have not made any mistakes.

2. Believe In Win-Win

A rising tide lifts all boats – always think win-win. It exists. Just because the world thinks the business world is nasty, and that you need to be manipulative and maneuvering to win, you need not participate in it.

In fact, make it your contribution not to be nasty and bullying in your ways. You want to be a leader at work, believe in your hands as leader to change the world.

The power of positive influence you have on the people around you and the power to inspire people to greater heights is in front of you.

3. Push The Envelope

Try new things. Take some risk. Make yourself uncomfortable. Do the things that may risk making you look foolish – what do you have to lose? Leaders take risks. They are not afraid of doing what they believe.

What do you believe in that you are willing to take some risk? To be a leader at work, you need to take even simple risks like taking on the project no one wants.

4. Do It, Write It

I have often said this. This world is full of people who talk too much and don’t do enough. If you want to be a leader at work, act upon something. Work that plan.

If you have any ideas that are simmering in your mind, write it down. It doesn’t matter if it’s not a plan yet, just write it down.

If you don’t write it down, there is no one to present to and there is no record of the idea. How can it count? If you want to be a leader at work, you have practice writing down everything.

5. See Opportunities Everywhere

There is no need to create opportunities for yourself to lead. The opportunities to lead are everywhere. You need to be mindful of these opportunities.

I have just mentioned one earlier. Are there any opportunities to take on the project no one wants? If you don’t see opportunities everywhere, you are missing the point.

6. Be Open

Be open to criticism, otherwise you are just living off yourself. What does it mean? When you are open to feedback, you are being fed ideas from others that are free. Often times, these ideas come from people smarter than you. They will give you tips on how to improve and how to be better.

That’s what a leader needs - constant feedback. You need feedback to be a leader at work, otherwise you are “feed-own” (I just created that word to mean feeding yourself) and you will go hungry soon. With no new ideas, a leader dries up.

7. Give, Give, Give

That’s how you open up. Pour out all you got from inside you. Give all you have ideas, thoughts, plans. Feel the vulnerability and learn to like it. When you pour all your ideas out you will need new ones. Where do new ideas come from? From critics who want to tear you down, from well-meaning supporters and from people you least expect.

More comes back to you. You have more to input. It enriches you. That’s how you become a leader at work.

These are the seven actions to position yourself as a leader at work. You want to be a leader at work? Do not be afraid of taking risks. You have more to gain than lose when you open up.

I løbet af adskillige engagementer med klienter ser jeg ledere på alle niveauer af organisationen kamp med held coaching medarbejdere. For at blive en effektiv leder, skal du være en effektiv coach. Store ledere, som er effektiv trænere kan inspirere og motivere medarbejdere, lægge grundvolden for organisationens næste generation af ledere.

Mens de rejser rundt om i verden, har jeg haft mulighed for at arbejde med nogle verdensklasse ledere. Disse ledere, alt godt respekteret af ansatte, udstillet nogle almindelige adfærd når vejlede arbejdsstyrken.

Jeg har tænkt mig at fokusere på fem kritiske adfærd, som blev udstillet af disse effektive ledere. Hvis du føjer disse tips til din coaching værktøjskasse, det vil hjælpe dig med at blive en bedre coach, dermed en bedre leder for dit mest værdifulde aktiv – medarbejderne.

Refleksioner

Ledelse kræver ansvarlighed. Hvem ejer medarbejderudvikling? Tag et kig i spejlet. Coaching handler ikke om fastsættelse af din medarbejder, det handler om medarbejderudvikling og at ejer er du. I oktober 2013 artikler i Forbes magazine med titlen "8 måder at stedet stor Leadership", diskuteret forfatteren, hvor stor ledere er villige til at træffe hit. Han udtalte, at "folk forventer ledere at være gennemsigtige og ansvarlige. At tage ansvar for dine handlinger eller handlinger af dit hold gør du hæderlig og troværdig"

Store forventninger

En af de mest kritiske aktiviteter i effektive coaching sætter forventninger. Forventninger skal være meget klar, aldrig fuzzy eller vage. Ansatte skal vide, præcis hvad der forventes af dem. Et eksempel på en fuzzy mål jeg hører ofte er omkring opfylde produktion mål. Der er et gammelt ordsprog, "pas på hvad du beder om eller du bare kunne få det.

Gå til Gemba

GEMBA er et begreb ofte hørt i virksomheder praktiserer Lean produktion. Det er et japansk begreb, der betyder "det rigtige sted." I en produktion er Gemba fabriksgulvet. Det vigtige element i ord Gemba at forstå er, at det ikke er på kontoret! Ikke træner fra dit kontor. Den bedste coaching opstår ansigt til ansigt, i feltet. Ikke opfylder medarbejderen i dit kontor, gå til hans eller hendes. Hvis medarbejderen arbejder inden for området, opfylde den medarbejder, hvor han eller hun arbejder. Hvis du var at sammenligne dette med et sportshold, findes general manager normalt på kontoret, mens træneren er fundet på feltet.

Fremkalde omfattende svar med spørgsmål med åbne svarmuligheder

En kritisk succesfaktor i at blive en god coach er at være en god lytter. Praksis, aktiv lytning. Stille spørgsmål og lytte, men sørg for at stille de rigtige spørgsmål (gode spørgsmål). Spørger du ja/nej spørgsmål eller spørgsmål med åbne svarmuligheder? Husk, at målet med din afhøring er at skabe en dialog. Du er vejledende samtale, ikke kontrollere den. Bekræfte forståelse. Stille spørgsmål og sikre, hvad du sagde er ikke kun hørt men også forstået.

Være forsigtig med at aktivere

Selv at være Problemløser af alle problemer kan være yderst effektiv og effektiv i at opnå resultater på kort sigt, skaber på lang sigt det et svagere hold gennem indlært hjælpeløshed. Alt for ofte har jeg arbejdet med organisationer, der ikke er i stand til at fungere, når chefen ikke er der at fortælle dem, hvad de skal gøre. Husk at hvert problem er en mulighed for at lære. Ikke kortslutte læringsproces i et kapløb til løsningen.
