When you are heading an organization or department and notice that employees cut corners in the performance of their tasks, it can feel demotivating. When your staff seem to miss the commitment and dedication to the organization and complain, the role as leader is often experienced as lonely. When the staff turn-over is high, this feels frustrating because you invest your time, resources and energy, without benefiting from it.
You are not alone! These are challenges that many leaders of companies and organizations are facing. However it does not need to be like that.
You can be that leader for whom people like to work. That is able to create a good atmosphere and provides opportunity for people to learn from their mistakes and grow. That motivates people to take responsibility and builds a team that stays strong, even in difficult times. You can be that leader that feels confident and gets energy from doing the job you are good at.
People skills that are essential to achieve this, have three levels:
- Creating a positive working culture for effective team work;
- Manage individual staff members adapted to their skills set and motivation;
- Self-inquiry to overcome your challenges and learn and be an inspirational role model;
