Leadership Skills Needed for High Performing Teams

As the business landscape is changing so too are the management skills required for effective leadership.

Leadership training programs should provide the systems required to help you navigate this rapidly changing environment while consistently maximizing organizational effectiveness and boosting both career development and personal development. Using simple tools and techniques that give powerful results.

Leadership skills include:

• Emotional Intelligence.
• Critical thinking.
• Effective communication.
• Collaboration.
• A strong leadership presence.
• Change management ability.

Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence is recognized as a key trait displayed by the most successful leaders. It includes self-awareness as well as the ability to show both self-regulation and empathy. Empathetic leaders are more able to perceive and understand the needs of the communities they serve, their teams, their superiors and their customers.

Leaders with higher emotional intelligence tend to have more connected and motivated teams. They are better communicators, they are comfortable with building relationships and they are able to inspire others to get behind them.

Critical Thinking

Critical thinking is a vital skill for leaders and executives. Great leaders are able to make objective decisions based on the latest business analysis as well as being able to think creatively and innovatively to overcome obstacles and stay ahead.

Effective Communication

Effective communication is vital at all levels. This includes communication within teams, within the wider structure of the organization and the ability to produce concise and effective business communications.

Collaboration

The ability to build relationships and harness the power of collaboration can easily be the difference between achieving objectives and not. And as markets become more complex collaboration has never been more important.

Moving towards more collaborative styles of working also creates a more inclusive environment that encourages the emergence of new talent as well as more creative and innovative thinking.

Collaboration requires trust, mutual respect and a shared goal or aspiration and leaders need to be able to inspire this in their team by developing their emotional intelligence and social skills as well as having an awareness of their own strengths and weaknesses.

A Strong Leadership Presence

A strong leadership presence enables executives to effectively build and manage teams. A good leader guides and motivates their teams, they have the ability to connect with others and will help others become successful.

A strong leadership presence combines expertise and confidence with solid values and integrity. Strong leaders learn to lead themselves first, acknowledge areas where they are still learning, and they are present to the needs of their team.

Change Management

Having the tools required to prepare and support teams, individuals and organizations for effective change can be one of the most valuable skills you can learn as a leader.

All the above skills are important for effective change management as well as the ability to hold the vision of the big picture, not losing sight of what they are trying to achieve and ensuring all actions are aligned towards that vision.

All these skills will contribute to more successful business leadership and personal leadership at all levels of management training.

A successful leadership program will enhance productivity, it will increase employee engagement, bring about a more positive corporate culture and result in better decisions being made.

Leadership Development with Executive Coaches

Studies show that executives themselves rank executive coaching ahead of any other formal development programs. And that a leadership program that combines skills training with one-on-one coaching ensures that the content of the training programs is able to be integrated and applied in an appropriate manner.

Traditional training programs focus on the wholesale transfer of new skills, they are generally generic in nature and not able to be refined to the specific needs of individuals. There is little room for feedback and the lessons delivered can be hard to apply to real-life situations.

Executive education is most effective when it is bespoke. Individually tailored development training facilitates learning and development and thus an improvement in performance and outcomes more rapidly and more sustainably than any other training solutions.
