A mark of a good leader is to provide constant motivation to his team
to maintain an excellence and quality in results. A good leader is always
looking for ways to improve production and standards. Here are six skills you
can develop in working to attain quality in the team.
1. Observation
This is an important aspect that often gets neglected due the demands
on a leader's time and schedule. Observation and regular visits to the work
environment needs to be scheduled into the calendar. Observing employees work
procedures and the work flow is foundational to implementing adjustments to
improve results. To have credibility, a leader needs to be seen and be known to
be up to date with what is happening in the work place.
2. Monitor
Employee Performance
Employee performance needs to be monitored in mutually accepted ways.
Policies and procedures need to be clear. Conferencing should be on a regular
basis and not just when there is a problem. Assessments and evaluations should
not be merely all formality or paperwork to be done. Individual and group
conferencing should be undertaken with the expectation of on going professional
development. There should be frequent encouragement and clear criteria for on
going goals both for the group and individual.
3.
Implementation of Professional Development Programs
A good leader evaluates weaknesses and provides training and
development strategies to strengthen the weaker skills in the team.
4.
Demonstrates Working Knowledge and Expertise
Good leadership comes from a place of strong knowledge and experience
of the production and process leading to results. If a leader does not posses
all the expertise and knowledge personally he should then hold regular
consultations with experts. This is important in order to maintain an accurate
and informed overall picture.
5. Good
Decision Making
Good leadership is characterized by the ability to make good decisions.
A leader considers all the different factors before making a decision. A clear
decision creates confidence in the leadership.
6. Ability
to Conduct and Evaluate Research
On going review and research is vital in order to keep on the cutting
edge in business. While managing the present to ensure on going excellence in
performance and product, a good leader is also able to look towards the future.
Conducting and evaluating research is an important way of planning and being
prepared for the future.
Excellent
leadership is always pro active rather than reactive. By developing these six
managerial skills a good leader is on the journey to becoming a great leader.
