IMPROVING YOUR
LEADERSHIP EFFECTIVENESS

A presentation for would-be, recent, and career leaders

Discovering fulfillment in performance and maintaining credibility as a leader is a constant challenge. Learn twelve qualities that make you a leader. Leadership is not about power; it is about relationships. With credibility comes fulfillment! When people perceive their leader to have high credibility, they are significantly more likely to feel a strong sense of team spirit. Today’s problems stem from four major areas, namely, divisions in the workplace, destruction of the work ethic, obsession with harmony, and fear of change. Be courageous and demonstrate the will to lead people to higher performance levels by altering basic assumptions, abandoning philosophies that have made it difficult to achieve excellence, and begin to focus on building effective teams. Learn the qualities of an effective team player. Give people responsibilities and hold them accountable for producing results. Establish work environments that are less bureaucratic and more open to new ideas. The foremost factor in improving you effectiveness is that of ‘vision’. Insure that you have a vision for your department, and a well-versed plan to achieve the vision. Visions must be clearly communicated and stated as goals. . Develop your second in command. There can be no success without a successor! Take your leadership to the next level.
