Becoming a Better Leader of Your Team

To become a better leader of your team:


1. Start with yourself- by growing into a leader.
a) Listen empathically ( listen with authentic and genuine concern) to your team.
b) Develop new skills for yourself e.g. mediation, project management, negotiation, conflict resolution, etc.
c) Raise the bar for yourself- expect more from yourself.

2. Work on developing “authentic ethics”- those that grow from a place of genuine caring and respect for the individual.

3. Remember to be always available to the community and to your team- there should be no barriers for this interactive, caring, and continuous dialogue.

4. Recognize you have to come from a place of abundance in your attitude- people rise to your level of expectations and your concern for them.

5. Develop co- leadership- often the best leadership is shared leadership. Camelot had a round table for a reason- in that all those who sat at the table were regarded as equal in value and status - no one was above anyone else in their noble quest.

6. Maintain a positive genuine attitude and your energy as your bricks and mortar. By putting these into the foundation of your leadership development, you will be getting more out of what you put out into it.

7. Shift your perspective from “me” to “we”- from self-serving to serving others. This is the new spiritual paradigm shift.

8. Recognize that you are working towards a higher purpose in a new leadership value system that is emerging and transforming. Leadership is not just about getting through to people’s heads, but it is also about getting into their hearts. To embody and embrace this fact may help you as you walk the pathway to becoming a better leader for your team.
