Honesty and Integrity, Empower Others, Confidence
Honesty And Integrity
- Be honest and have integrity in what you are doing and how you act. People will follow you more willingly
- People respect someone that is honest and has integrity
- Keeping your promises to people you supervise is a key part of being a leader
- Leaders with integrity are not afraid to tell the truth or get truth told to them. They keep level headed and act
- Being fair and not having favorites or people you give a slight edge to is a sign of a great leader. You should treat everyone you supervise equally
Empower Others
- Give others the tools and means to do their job and anything you delegate
- When people you supervise feel they can do their job unimpeded your job gets easier
- If you empower someone and they don’t do well on that task. Ask yourself if you gave them a task they could not do, maybe they did not have the tools or maybe there is an issue with the person (talk to them or administration)
Confidence
- Be confident, confidence makes a leader. People listen to and more willing to help/participate with a confident person
- Even if you’re not sure of something. You can still be confident. Let them know you will get back to them with an answer
- Confidence is mostly about how you present yourself. Head up, chest out and look people in the eye. Speak politely but assertively.
- The more confident you are in your ability the more people will listen to you and do what you need them to
