Effective Leadership
Effective Leadership through Situational Leadership
Since many leadership styles have been identified, and not a single style of leadership is appropriate for every occasion or situation.
The leader is one who can stand the test of "situational leadership” as the most
effective leadership style depends upon the situation.
The most effective styles depends upon the situations are:
The telling leader – one who defines the roles and tasks for each follower
The selling leader – seeks ideas and suggestions from followers
The participating leader – passes along the day-to-day decisions to the followers
The delegating leader – involved in the workgroup's decisions, helps to solve problems, but ultimate control is with the followers
Effective Leadership Qualities
Effective leaders should have noticeable qualities. Even Good leaders make an
effort to learn and practice skills so they can:
• Listen openly to others
• Offer and accept constructive suggestions
• Give clear directions
• Set and meet deadlines
• Give formal and informal presentations
• Help members identify and solve problems
• Show appreciation of others'
contributions

• Leaders make sure their actions are consistent with a clear idea of what others value and what they can do.

• Leaders are not only a decision maker as they know team members respect their leaders more when they show the willingness to work alongside them.
• Leaders keep their promises and follow through on their commitments.
Leader’s Feedback
Leaders should know how constantly providing feedback is important for team
members.
Silence - When leaders give no response to their member's work. It mean they are decreasing in both their performance and confidence. Silence can create paranoia.
Criticism - Don't criticise any member in terms of feedback to stop unwanted behavior, which in results hurts the relationship you have with them. They might lose their confidence and start avoiding leaders good behaviors.
Advice - When there is need to tell a member what work behaviors is required, leaders should know how to improve the member's confidence. And the increased performance will be the result.
Delegating Leadership
• Know your members, what they have done and what can they do
• Listen to the members, pick up information about what they want to do
• Tell them the willingness of sharing authority
• Give them a purpose to understand an importance of the task
• Appreciation them for their efforts
Handle Difficult Conversation
The best intentions of a leader for keeping a meeting within a reasonable
time frame can be destroyed if members put obstacles in the way.
An orator, who trust his speaking skills.
A wanderer tends to bring up an entirely unrelated topic.
The repeater talks numerous times on the same subject while other members haven't had a chance to talk.
An interrupter tends to interrupt others as they are speaking on a subject.
We know and understand leaders are made, not born. And the effort to practice and learn the skills it takes to be an effective leader is
the need of the hour.
