Being an Effective Leader

To be the most effective leader you can be, review the following checklist of leadership training program basics and evaluate where you excel and where you might need some shoring up.

Effective leaders know how to:

1. Paint a picture of the future. Clearly and simply articulate where the company is heading and why.
2. Draw the road map. It is not enough to know where you are headed. It is up to you to show your employees how they are to get there and what is expected from them along the way.
3. Share their passion. Inspire your employees with your vision and engage them as you work together toward the goal.
4. Ensure they have the talent they need. As you move toward the goal, look ahead to make certain you have the right employees on board, in the right roles that fit with where you are headed.
5. Set an example for continuous learning. Effective leaders are never satisfied that they have fully accomplished their goals. They never stop learning because they know they can always improve.
