The Leadership Mindset: Characteristics of Great Leaders

I've been a people manager at some of the biggest companies in the world for over 20 years. I've studied closely the people in positions of responsibility that I've worked with and for. Many of them are certainly not leaders, despite their seniority. And many people at the bottom of the ladder are most definitely leaders. It's about their mindset not their position. Leadership isn't some magic divine force that people are born with. It's a skill, just like any other, and can be learned, refined and perfected.

Honesty, Coaching & The Mission

In this lecture you'll learn how the leadership mission is vital to being able to inspire people to follow you. Great leaders are committed to the mission and everything they do has a purpose. You'll also learn how effective leaders leverage coaching techniques to get the best from their teams as well as showing 100% honesty, even when the truth hurts. And you'll see how leaders are always looking to praise others and step out of the spotlight themselves, when things are going great. Lots of great tips here and you'll really start understanding how the mind of great leaders works. 

Empathy, Togetherness & Feedback

In this lecture you'll learn how great leaders empathise with their teams on an emotional level, forging strong connections that inspire people to bring their best self to work. You'll also see how leaders use a "Sports Coach Mindset" to get the best out of different personalities as well as ensuring that their mission benefits everyone, not just themselves. 

Change, Authenticity & Enablement

In this lecture you'll learn how being authentic is one of the most powerful tools a great leader can use. You'll see how they thrive on change and have a fundamental understanding of self & situational awareness. Leaders can also be amusing and use self-deprecating humour as a powerful motivational tool.

Perspective, Empowerment & Emotional Intelligence

Leaders always show a sense of perspective in support of their mission. Their knowledge of emotional intelligence is critical to empowering teams and they always provide a safe place for people to innovate and express themselves. We're getting deep into the mind of a leader now. If you can implement these tips then you'll be well on the way as well. 

My Favourite Tips & Bonus!

Leaders are driven towards a mission, are full of praise for others and have integrity and authenticity at the heart of everything they do. They're dedicated to helping the wider population and crave opportunities for improvement and self-development. You'll also see expertise in the areas of emotional intelligence and awareness which are key skills that when developed, can be real enablers for people at any stage of their careers, but which are key to senior leadership positions.

People have been asking me which of these tips do I consider to be the most important? That's a hard question to answer. Find out in this lecture as well as a bonus tip!
