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.
