Best Practice Leadership Skills

No matter the delivery method, the result is the same: leaders who know how to use their organizational authority to build the kind of workplace that employees want to be a part of. In fact, you might be surprised at how many everyday decisions you make as a leader impact employee experience. When you understand what these are, you can begin to make changes in your leadership habits that will make an impact in the short term. Do these consistently over the long haul and you give your organization the best chance for success.

For example, did you know…

…there are behaviors your employees have to “own” and if you inadvertently take these away you’ll compromise their professional growth and effectiveness?

…there are ways you might be misusing the authority you have over your employees that makes you unapproachable…or not respected?

…there’s a method to sharing power that creates greater ownership and engagement and helps you to clear up unnecessary misunderstandings?

…there’s a well-researched and proven strategy for how to give positive feedback that actually increases an employee’s level of investment?

…there’s a method for giving corrective feedback to an employee that ensures your message is heard and will greatly reduce the chance they’ll get defensive?

…you have an emotional response to stress that you might not be aware of and yet your employees and colleagues very likely are? Do you know what this is?

…you can have otherwise good intentions and still undermine the integrity of your organizational structure?

…there’s a proven, systematic approach for how to lead positive culture change in your organization that will reduce frustration, conflict, and confusion?
