Listening

Listening is not the same as hearing.

Strive to listen to people, to understand them and where they are coming from.

Poor Listening

Empathy

Accept and recognize the strengths and weaknesses of your employees.

Leadership is not about making your employees perfect.

Understand your team so you can employ them properly.

Awareness

Be aware of the factors which may affect your plans.

Be aware of how your actions affect your employees (self-awareness).

Be aware of your team dynamics.

View situations holistically, taking all variables into account.

Persuasion

Build consensus and convince rather than require compliance.

Persuaded people will work harder than commanded people.

Conceptualization

Set a vision for the future. Visualize what could be

tomorrow, next week, or a decade from now. Then, make plans to enact this

vision.

Foresight

Foresight does not deal with predicting the future.

Rather, it is about thinking through the possibilities.

Anticipate the needs of the future.

Stewardship

Your team is your responsibility. You have the ability to inspire

and engage them, and the ability to cause them worry and anxiety.

Take responsibility for the growth and care of your team.
