LEADING EFFECTIVELY

I. Comment upon the following text:

The ability to lead others is a prime attribute. To fulfill your leadership potential, learn

how to get people to work with you and for you productively, using their initiative for better

results. You also need to develop leaders among your staff.

Managing Others

To get the best from people who are working for you, it is essential to set a credible

example yourself. Employees will excel themselves for somebody in whose strength and

wisdom they truly believe. They also expect professional competence, part of which includesdelegating tasks in order to increase staff members self-management and participation.

Ascertain where your employees strengths and weaknesses lie, then delegate responsibilitiesthat will both exploit these strengths and meet the organizations needs.

Encouraging Participation

Bringing competent employees to the fore is a leaders prime task. Allow others to

take the initiative whenever possible, encouraging them to contribute their own suggestionsand ideas.

Winning Co-operation

Co-operation between a manager and his or her staff requires commitment from both

sides. If you expect co-operation, you must also give it, while still remaining in overall

control. Two key questions to ask your staff are: What do I do that stops you from doing a

better job? and What can I do to help you perform better? If you co-operate by acting on

their answers, for example by investing in new tools or training if requested, you can bring

about major improvements in performance. Not acting on that feedback will have an adverse

effect. Your main objectives as a leader is to help staff to help themselves.

Questions To Ask Yourself

1. Do I give others the chance to speak, rather than invariably put forward my own

ideas?2. Am I loyal to my staff when representing them, both inside and outside the

organization?3. Do I strive to achieve a positive atmosphere, in which people compete with ideas?

Developing Leaders

As a manager, you must ensure that you receive the requisite training to developprioritizing, progress- chasing, delegation, and motivating skills. Make these an integral part

of your personal development plan, and ensure that staff members also develop their own

leadership skills. Listening carefully, criticizing constructively, being tolerant of error while

correcting mistakes, and retaining objectivity are all vital leadership qualities. In seeking todevelop your own potential, you should also be helping others to develop theirs.

Building Leadership Skills

All leaders need strong personality traits to assert influence and function. They must

also have the ability to facilitate and inspire. To lead others well, you must:

- ensure that everyone is working towards agreed, shared objectives;- criticize constructively, praising merit as well as finding fault;- encourage the generation of new ideas;
