Want to be a Bold Leader? Here Are 8 Tips
Published by Frank December 17th, 2007 in Uncategorized.There are differences between being a manager and a leader, and never does one title guarantee to be synonomous with the other. Having the title of manager does not necassarily mean you are a leader, nor does being a leader require the title of manager. A leader can motivate people without having to rely on their given title of authority. Below are some tips on how to become a better leader.
1. Build credibility through accomplishment - Bold initiatives are most likely to work if you’ve established a winning track record.
2. Identify risks and implement mitigation strategies - Consider and analyze any possible risks, and have a strategy on how to tackle each one should it arise
3. Speak your customer’s language - Make it easier on your customers to embrace your plan by framing it in terms with which they are comfortable.
4. Fight for your vision - If you’ve got a great business case for your bold initiative, don’t back down.
