Key Takeaways:
- A leader is: a person with good
communication skills, shares in-
formation and knowledge, honest
and not a hypocrite, makes time
for people, makes people special,
and puts the good of the organi-
zation before his personal good.
- Characteristics of trust-wor-
thy leaders are: ability, benevo-
lence, integrity, and predictability.
- Trust can be enhanced be-
tween the leader and subor-
dinates by exposing them to
social aspects of their person-
al life (up to a certain extent).
- Leaders should recognize and
appreciate the work of subor-
dinates with high performance
and growth potential. Recog-
nition and appreciation is not
always in monetary format.
- Inductions given to new staff
on the organization’s busi-
ness and products plays a big
role in enhancing the sense of
belonging and dedication to-
wards the working environment.
- Screening Interviews to select
new employees can be done in a
way to measure specific aspects of
interest to the company. A good ex-
ample is providing work ethic ex-
amples from their personal life
experiences rather than empha-
sizing on job-related questions.
-
Cross-team
exchanges
within the organization pro-
vides an overall picture of
the business & operations
cycle to the employees.
- Town Hall meetings are es-
sential in keeping the em-
ployees informed of the status
of the organization and get-
ting them involved and fo-
cused on goals and targets.
