  1. Communicate
    • Work on trying to build positive relationships with people who are under your leadership.
    • Constant feedback is a key part of communication. People want to know how they’re doing.
    • Positive relationships usually get mutual respect from both you and your employee.
  2. Be organized
    • Track notes and actions as your go through your day. It’s important to have a record of past activities.
    • A good leader always has a plan, and usually a backup plan (and sometimes even a backup backup plan!). Keep organization tight to limit chaos and confusion.
    • Keep important information documented and easily accessible.
  3. Keep an open mind
    • Listen to what other people have to say. Don’t just focus on your ideas – listen to the suggestions and ideas of others. Evaluate the suggestions and decide what’s best for the organization.
    • A good leader has the humility to accept other people’s suggestions and carry out the plan that is best for the project even if it didn’t originate with them.
  4. Set boundaries
    • You want to have a relationship with those employees under your leadership; however, boundaries do need to be set.
    • There are times to have an open mind and listen to others’ opinions, and there are times when you, as the leader, need to make a final decision.
    • Don’t be afraid to set boundaries or make a decision that some people may disagree on. This is your job as a leader.
    • Be consistent with your boundaries. It’s confusing for people to sometimes see a behavior and encounter the opposite at other times.
  5. Unite your team
    • A good team is able to work together. You, as the leader, are part of this team. It is also your responsibility to make sure the team works well together.
    • Collaboration is an important part of being a team. For easier communication and collaboration try Rypple. It will help unite your team, and make you a better leader.
  6. Have principle!
    • You may be the leader of a big organization, but that doesn’t mean you have to be arrogant towards those under your leadership.
    • It will be a lot harder for you to get respect if you have an attitude of superiority.
    • Make it easier for your team to approach you. Asking for anonymous feedback is a good way to get your team’s opinion without them having to be worried about repercussions.
  7. Be confident and optimistic
    • Your tone will be observed and copied by your team. Stay confident about your decisions and your team.
    • Be optimistic about what your team can do.
    • Create a welcoming and light tone. The tone you carry is going to be observed and followed by the whole team.
  8. Appreciation
    • Recognize the effort your team makes by giving kudos. Employees like to be recognized for their efforts and public recognition is a sign that you notice how hard your team is working.
  9. Touch base regularly
    • Having regular check-ins with your team is effective for you and your employees. You should know what your team is doing and vice-versa.
    • Coaching and mentoring in fast, focused 1:1s is a good method for keeping aligned. Have regular coaching sessions with your team to see improvements.
  10. Try Rypple, the new way to manager your team
    • Rypple makes it faster and easier to stay aligned as a team. It’s what top managers do.

  8. Would you look to someone for guidance and leadership if they did not truly care about the goals of the group? Of course not! Great leaders are not just focused on getting group members to finish tasks; they have a genuine passion and enthusiasm for the projects they work on. Start by thinking of different ways that you can express your zeal. Let people know that you care about their progress. When one person shares something with the rest of the group, be sure to tell them how much you appreciate such contributions.

  9. important characteristic of transformational leadership involves a focus on providing one-on-one communication with group members. Good leaders should express sincere care and concern for the members of their group both verbally and nonverbally. By keeping the lines of communication open, these leaders can ensure that group members feel able to make contributions and receive recognition for their achievements

  11. Don't micromanage.
    Empower the people below you, then leave them alone. "A good part of leadership is stepping back," says Bill Pasmore, senior vice president at the Center for Creative Leadership. "A good leader leads from front and back."

  18. Holly points out that leading isn’t just about telling people what to do; good leaders are also effective role models and teachers. “Remember how ‘do as I say, not as I do’ never seemed like a good idea when you were a kid? It’s definitely no more convincing as an adult,” she cautions. If you want to be taken seriously as a leader, remember that all eyes are on you, and that your actions serve as powerful examples for your team.

  22. 1. Real leadership means leading yourself. Passing out orders is as easy as passing out business cards. But a prudent leader also knows how to lead himself or herself—not merely to provide a genuine example to others, but to become a working element of the overall machinery of your business. "It's important that leaders have the ability to focus and motivate themselves as they motivate others," says Larraine Segil, an author and consultant who teaches executive education at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.

    2. Don't be a monarch. Thoughtful leadership likely means you already have a talented work force in place. That's terrific. But be careful not set up a throne room in the process. Accidental leaders often inadvertently establish a system of guidance that's unnecessarily restrictive. Guide employees, but don't implement more parameters than are absolutely necessary. "It's important to influence the people with whom you work," says Segil. "Don't see your business as a hierarchy."

    3. Be open to new ways of doing things. One potential land mine of a prosperous operation is to repeat anything that proves successful. It's hard to argue against that, but an inadvertent leader will put far too much stock in sticking with what always works. By contrast, thoughtful leadership acknowledges success but also recognizes there are always ways to do things better.

    Taking the lead in any situation requires Have confidence and the courage of your convictions. People will only
    follow someone who displays the right amount of confidence. Too much can turn people away, too little and people doubt you can

  26. To be a good leader, you need to maintain high team morale, and to motivate employees to achieve their goals in a timely manner. Also, rewards can be fun!

    Have a monthly team dinner to celebrate a completed goal. This will be not only delicious, but a fun way to bond with your colleagues and to motivate them to achieve goals in a timely manner.
    Give individual "shout outs" when necessary. If one of your employees accomplished something incredible, there's no harm in announcing his or her achievements through email or at a meeting. Though this may make him or her blush, he or she will see that you're paying attention to his or her hard work.
    Reward your hard workers with prizes. A prize, whether it's the latest technological gadget or just a pair of free movie tickets, can give your employees the incentive they need to work hard, and will make them think you're a cool boss.
