| Learn the Army's BE-KNOW-DO of leadership. BE: the values & attributes that shape character, KNOW: Knowledge shapes a leader’s identity, DO: leader actions, are directly related to the influence they have on others & what is accomplished. Tip Credibility: 7 |
| Don't assume that your people understand the importance of what you are asking of them. Take some time to clarify the meaning and purpose behind the tasks you are asking them to do. Good leaders help people see the meaning of what they do. Tip Credibility: 6 |
| Regularly offer positive feedback about the good things your team members do - the activities and behaviors you want to see them continue doing. When you only focus on correcting the things you want people to change you can seem very negative. Tip Credibility: 5 |
| Just smile occasionally! I know leadership can be stressful and there are never enough hours in the day, but it's part of your role to make sure your team want to be around you, not hide in the cupboard whenever you are near. So lighten up a little... Tip Credibility: 5 |
| Create a vision for what you want to achieve in so much detail that you can actually imagine it as if it were already happening. This keeps you vibrant and magnetic, gives others something exciting to follow, whilst making results more tangible. Tip Credibility: 5 |
| Never ask your people to do something you are unwilling to do. Lead by example and show others that if you can do it, they can too! Tip Credibility: 5 |
| Focus on the people on your team, not just the task your team needs to complete. Respect and connect with them. Involve them in planning what needs to be done and how you will achieve the results you require. Share your vision of successful completion. Tip Credibility: 4 |
| Be worthy of the role. Outstanding leaders focus on service rather than personal gain. Tip Credibility: 2 |
