How to find out your style of leadership

Leadership involves

• Being able to motivate & direct others
• Taking responsibility for the direction & actions of a team
• Setting objectives.
• Organising & motivating others.
• Taking the initiative
• Persevering when things are not working out.
• Taking a positive attitude to frustration/failure.
• Accepting responsibility for mistakes/wrong decisions.
• Being flexible: prepared to adapt goals in the light of changing situations.

How to become a leader

• Use initiative to act on opportunities. Become a leader before other people view you as one. Healthy organisations reward those who take the lead, not just those with formal management roles.
• Take responsibility for own objectives: set priorities.
• Display a "can do" attitude even in demanding situations.. Try to solve problems, rather than to pass them on to other people. First answer is ‘yes, I’ll make it happen’ .
• "Go the extra mile" when asked to do tasks. Go beyond your job description. Do work that gets you noticed.
• Show enthusiasm: this will be noticed and you will eventually be rewarded.
• Take ownership of problems: anticipate potential problems, take pre-emptive action and act quickly to resolve problems.
• Introduce improvements to the way things are done.
• Develop innovative practices. Value innovative thinking.
• Learn new skills that will enhance capability.
• Common sense is not common!
