THE MOST IMPORTANT SKILLS IN LEADERSHIP ROLES

By -

COMMUNICATION

 Communication is about more than the basics of sharing ideas, or conveying information. It is the most fundamental skill he or she can possess when it comes to leading an individual, or a team. A good communicator will be able to express themselves clearly, without causing confusion or murkiness. A good communicator also understands that communication goes both ways: being a good listener is as important (or possibly more important!).

NONVERBAL COMMUNICATION

An excellent communicator will convey a sense of openness and non-judgment, even when they’re not saying anything. Body language and general countenance can sometimes convey even more than words. Employers will often seek candidates who are intrinsically calm, open, optimistic, and positive.



COACHING

Managing people means supporting subordinates. The means not only enabling them to do their jobs well, but also helping them to move forward in their careers. Sometimes this means helping them improve their skill sets to become better at the essence of their work. Sometimes it means assisting them in developing their own communication styles. Whatever the work is, adopting a coaching mindset is an integral part of being a good leader.


DIRECTING OTHERS

Giving direction doesn’t come naturally to every leader, but it’s an integral aspect of a leadership job. Leaders should be able to clearly and effectively formulate directions for others, and then articulate them in such a way as to convey them effectively. Those direction can involve guidance, instruction, mentorship, planning, and keeping a positive attitude even if someone is struggling.

RELATIONSHIP BUILDING

Along with communicating and coaching, relationship building can make or break a leader.

A good leader will value relationships, and will actively work to build one-on-one associations as well as fostering healthy relationships among the community. Relationship building could be as simple as remembering certain personal details about people, and inquiring about those things every now and again. Or, it could be more purposeful, and involve out-of-work activities and team-building efforts like retreats and events. Most of all, building relationships is about authenticity, and genuinely connecting with people in a way that creates a familiar feeling, and a sense of community.
There are leadership opportunities across the board in almost every industry imaginable. If you possess some of these traits, along with good judgment, honesty, and a sense of humor, pursuing a career in leadership could be right for you.
