skills and help them overcome performance obstacles.

You should see yourself as a servant to your business, not the big boss. You have a responsibility toserve your team and customers or clients. Doing this will garner respect and will bring success.

Become an effective writer. Your personality is vital to good leadership, but there is more to it thanthat. It's also about the presentation of your words. If your writing is riddled with errors and badgrammar, you will not garner the respect you need. Work hard to become a great writer.

With all actions, be decisive. If you want to be taken seriously as a leader, you need to be able tomake quick decisions and be able to hold yourself to them. If you are wishy-washy in your decisionmaking, then you can't expect your employees to have confidence in you. Flip-flopping on majorpoints a sure to weaken your subordinates' ability to trust you.

When a mistake happens, a good leader will use the situation as a chance to learn something,instead of a chance to criticize. Talking about what didn't go right and being open with the entireteam about this incident can help everyone from making that same mistake later.

Fulfill your promises. Follow through with what you promise to do. If it is now impossible to keep apromise, explain why. Falling short on your promises or making your reasoning hard to understandisn't going to help you gain their trust.

Employees will expect great communication from the leaders. Being a great listener is a great wayto show that you can communicate. Never ignore your team members. If a team member needs toraise an issue or just wants to be heard, make it happen.

Mistakes don't have to be disasters. Instead, they can be an opportunity to grow. Take the time toshare how the decision affected things in a way that wasn't positive. Help them to see good paths totake to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Present yourself as a leader in the way you dress and communicate with others. Other peopletypically remember their first impressions about people, so you'll want yours to be a good one. Doingthis will help you to gain respect, and it can improve your position as a leader in various situations.

Knowing how to effectively make informeddecisions is a skill that you must develop to be aneffective business leader. Courage is required tomake the tough choices in a business. A goodleader will be a courageous leader to his people.Sometimes things won't work, and a good leadercan accept responsibility and move on.

Try not to rest on your laurels. An idea may haveworked for a while, but people may have newerideas that can work for projects today and in thefuture. Listen to your team, and do not be worriedabout changing gears when needed.

Nobody wants to be a bad leader. Beware ofcertain pitfalls, and be aware of what being a

leader actually means. A burning desire to always do things right and keep learning is whatseparates good leaders from the bad. Make the best choices.
