How do I become a great business man / Leader?

To become a better leader, here are three New Year's resolutions that I have suggested every manager set for themselves for 2016... Resolution 1: Be a Leader The first step to being a better leader is to, well, LEAD! Be bold, be courageous, take risks. Innovate. Create an exciting vision for the business: Where are you leading your team? What will it take to get there? Show people how passionate you are about achieving this vision. Know what you stand for, and what you believe in. Act with conviction. Make the tough choices. Get your hands dirty. Build a collaborative culture. Be a role model for your team. Resolution 2: Earn the respect of your team Speaking of your team, a leader with no followers is no leader at all. A good place to start is by listening to what members of your team have to say. Involve them in important projects and decisions. Delegate where possible and trust that they will do a good job. Make sure that they are sufficiently challenged and invest in their learning and development, by coaching them directly and providing feedback as well as more formally by identifying courses that can help them to develop their skills. Recognise them for their contributions to the business. Most of all: be kind. Resolution 3: Take control of your learning and development You are responsible for your own professional growth as well as for your team’s development. Make sure that you ask for feedback from your own boss on a regular basis, both in terms of overall performance and specifically with regard to big meetings and presentations. Ask feedback from your team too! Sign up to training workshops and courses that can help you to hone your skills in important areas. Practice public speaking, writing an effective one-pager, communicating clearly in emails and on the phone. Read blogs and books to keep up to date in your industry. Never, ever get complacent: learning is a lifelong process, and even a CEO has more to learn. To become a better people manager, here are 6 tips to get you started... 1. Be nice This should be pretty obvious, but the first principle when working in a team is to be nice. People don’t want to work with nasty or aggressive people, and such behaviour will only hamper any collaboration. Beyond a basic level of decency, you should also avoid a robotic focus on work and remember that your team is made up of human beings. Ask them how they’re doing before launching into the tasks you need them to do, take a moment to ask about their weekend, show that you’ve got good manners and say please and thank you! 2. Show them you care Still on the human being topic, leading a team means showing that you care about them as individuals. So check in to see how they’re feeling if they’re off sick, bring them a cupcake on their birthday, buy them a coffee from time to time… These little gestures will demonstrate that you don’t just think of them as cogs in the machine and will make sure to keep spirits up especially when the workload is heavy or morale is low. 3. Be fair Being fair to your team members means valuing each of their contributions, giving each of them the attention that they need, giving credit where credit is due. It also means taking due responsibility for work on your side, and role modelling the behaviour that you expect from your team. After all, you can’t expect them to be careful with the company’s money if you’re seen to be frittering away the budget on luxurious business trips or entertaining clients. 4. Focus on their growth As a people manager, you are not just responsible for making sure that the work gets done but also for helping each individual reach their full potential by getting the feedback and coaching they need, learning new skills, and finding the right assignment in which to shine. This also requires focusing on your own performance so be sure to ask for feedback also from them and keep growing as a manager by attending training sessions and getting coaching yourself. 5. Support them externally Trust and solidarity are fundamental values when working in a team and sticking up for each other when the going gets tough will help to maintain cohesion; your team needs to know that you’re not going to throw them under the bus if they make a mistake. You might need to talk to the individual who has made that mistake but don’t do it in front of clients, agencies or colleagues outside of your immediate team. 6. Engage them on your vision People need to know what they are working towards, the bigger picture of what you’re all trying to achieve; sharing your broader vision will help them to understand the role they have to play and keep them engaged. This will become all the more important as you grow more senior in your role but you can start even with a small project. What will be the impact if you’re successful? Is there a metaphor or image that you can share that will capture the essence of what you’re trying to achieve? Get your team energised and excited about the bigger goal that lies ahead.
