Leadership Wisdom: Creating a Positive Environment for Team Excellence
Many great leaders prefer building and leading an
elite team since no one wants to lead people based on mediocrity. This is
because this is a negative reflection on the leadership. Based on my understanding,
to be a great leader, one needs to be able to create a good environment for
leadership. The culture and environment around people often create the attitude
they have towards their leader. Therefore, I realized that when one is able to
create a good leadership environment, they are then able to appeal to their
teams who in turn recognize the leadership role that they play. It is also
important to make the people that one is responsible for feeling safe. Leadership is all about loyalty and trust and
once one is able to trust the leadership around them, they tend to feel a great
sense of comfort. Another way to ensure one is a great leader is through
avoiding complaining about or criticizing people a lot. This is a sure way of
demotivating people especially when they make mistakes. One needs to, however,
concentrate on the positive and look at mistakes as new opportunities to
improve. Leaders are also encouraged praise improvement, even when the
improvements are only minor. According to psychologists, when the desired
behavior is positively reinforced, people have a higher chance of repeating
that behavior. One has a high chance of being a good leader if they focus more
on the use of positive reinforcement rather than criticism and threats.
In conclusion, being able to manage and lead people
effectively is not dependent on technical tools rather than being able to
relate to people skillfully. Once one is able to manage human interactions and
relations skillfully, they have a higher chance of emerging as successful
leaders.
