Leadership is often regarded as a set of skills that can be enhanced and trained. It is said that it is important to develop or enhance your leadership skills at any point in your career. The best leaders combine their expert management skills and with people skills to become highly successful.

These are the seven essential ingredients for a successful leader:

  • Communication
    An effective leader is one who communicates and listens well. By being transparent and communicating with clarity with your team, you can ensure that everybody is on the same page, and that common goal is consistently met.
  • Guiding Vision
    Vision creates and inspires passion, motivation, direction, and purpose in the organisation. Leaders with a clear idea of what they want to do both professionally and personally can ensure that employees stay on target and remain motivated.
  • Integrity
    For effective leadership, integrity is vital. Leaders who remain true to themselves and act with integrity, not only will inspire their team but will also inspire good business practices.
  • Knowledge
    Knowledge of the business is an important leadership trait. A leader must be competent in his field with the knowledge and experience he or she acquired through the years. Enrolling in training courses such as CMI level 7 qualification in strategic management and leadership courses serves the purpose.
  • Empathy
    Empathy helps the leaders to understand their team and making them stick together as a team. It allows one to create bonds of trust and gives insights into what others may be feeling or thinking.
  • Passion
    Passion is a basic ingredient for a successful leader. It drives a leader to be courageous, able to make difficult decisions and to implement it into actions.
  • Humility
    Humility is keeping a modest view of yourself. Employees enjoy interacting with humble leaders. They are easy to talk to and are keenly aware that employees are most important for the organisation and respect the views and ideas of the team.
