Sekou McHenry shared 6 tips for becoming an effective team leader. Leading a team is one of those areas that appear to be easy in theory. In practice it can be a real challenge.

2. As a leader you require supporters.
To have people to follow you should
be in a position to paint a real
obvious image of exactly what the
long term will probably be like and
why they must be part of creating
this excellent future.
If you don't do this you'll never
interact hearts and thoughts.

3. Being a person you'll have particular
aspects of power. These might be
expertise, experience, understanding
or individual qualities. Simultaneously
maybe you have less strong areas.
Having these insights won't only give
you understanding; it will help inform
in which you invest your time and
effort and enable you to figure out the
make up of your respective team.

4. I'm always surprised about simply
how much effort we put into
finding out about the weaknesses
and strengths of new hires such as
they invest a fraction of that point
observing our existing down link.
Knowing your team helps allocate
roles and responsibilities
appropriately. It may also help
with motivation as possible,
allocate work which fires them up.

5. Vague goals lead to a very
important factor: sub optimal or
at worst no results. Make your
goals as specific as you possibly
can.
Concentrate on leading them to
action orientated and hang time
limits. If you want to, break
them into smaller stepping-
stone goals.

6. Have confidence in or insufficient, it may
make or break a team.
Sometimes it is easy stuff that improves
trust, like providing on claims or dealing with
everybody equally.

7. Probably the most disheartening
things about the team is when the
leader constantly lets people free.
Obviously there will be occasions
when there are actually real main
reasons why people do not deliver.
Simultaneously, there might be
people who regularly over promise
and under deliver simply because
they know there's no follow-through.

8. In other words ensure that
you and each other team
member learn how to pay
attention to the other person.
Listening is definitely an area
that in my opinion people has
a problem with. Keep in mind
that you have two ears and
one mouth.
