The Foundations of Effective Leadership
Manage episode 493150446 series 3374521
Leadership consultant Ali Stewart shares her decades of wisdom about what makes leaders truly effective, revealing that while challenges like pandemics and AI may evolve, the core elements of great leadership remain surprisingly consistent.
• Leaders need both high challenge and high support to get commitment and high achievement from their teams
• Effective leaders are visible with a consistent, authentic personal style that builds trust
• Ground rules must establish clear rights and responsibilities for both leaders and team members
• The leadership process progresses through visioning, mobilizing, developing, and enabling stages
• Feedback should be a daily practice that is specific and conditional
• Being explicit about what behaviors demonstrate success is critical for effective leadership
• The best leaders adapt their communication style to meet different team members' needs
• Having a mentor significantly accelerates leadership development
Pay it forward by not only finding a mentor who's ahead of where you want to be, but also by mentoring someone who's where you once started. Your experience is invaluable to others on their leadership journey.
