7 Productive Ways to Lead Your Organization to Greatness
You’ve probably heard the adage, “If you want to fast, go alone; if you want to travel far, go together.” Typically, greatness in a great team begins with the leader, who sets the standards.
In The Leadership Gap: What Stands Between You and Your Greatness, we demonstrate what it takes to be a great leader.
Much of it is about how to avoid getting stuck spinning your wheels with skills that were once useful but are no longer relevant to your life or leadership. Learning to lead great teams is a component of that adaptation.
Here are seven of the most productive habits you can use to lead your team to success:
- Allow them to express their abilities:
The best leaders step back and let their team members do what they do best. Control leads to compliance, but autonomy leads to engagement, which leads to greatness.
2. Give them the freedom to make mistakes:
Make it clear to your team that failing is preferable to being timid. If you want to build great teams, teach those you lead that mistakes are inevitable and that they have the power to shape you into something better than you were before.
3. Encourage them to collaborate toward a compelling vision:
Working toward a shared vision is the start of any team’s progress and a sure sign that they’re on the right track. Things begin to make sense when your team learns to work together rather than as a collection of individuals pulling in different directions. It’s amazing what you can achieve when everyone works together toward a shared compelling vision.
4. Show up as the leader and cultivate leaders from within
As the leader, your own habits will spread to your team, so show up as a leader and lead by example. Make sure that what you say matches what you do. Then, take the next step by encouraging your team to assume leadership. By empowering and encouraging team members, you can help them transition into appropriate leadership roles.
5. Give them the tools they need to succeed:
You can easily find out what your team requires by simply asking them. You may not always be able to give them everything they desire, but you can always strive to ensure they have everything they require.
6. Teach them that everything is difficult before it is simple:
Encourage your team to persevere until something positive happens. Keep in mind that they will never know their limits unless they are pushed to them. Great leaders understand that pushing people to their limits teaches them to always go further. When you push your limits far enough, you realize there are none.
7. Consistently compliment and appreciate them:
If you want a great team and happy people, you must praise, acknowledge, and praise some more. When you show your team that you recognize what they can be and what they can become, you can start reaping the benefits of their growing greatness.
