Your leadership team should always be planning for the future so staying aware of key trends and preparing to integrate them is another key aspect of engaging your people for success. Especially now, as the workplace needs are shifting more towards staff needing to feel valued, able to add value, and needing support from their employers to help with all aspects of their lives, not just the professional ones. The global pandemic has forced a fast change to workplaces and employee values, and this needs to be considered in every business.

Hiring the best Talent is a crucial leadership skill First you need to decide what the best talent looks like, and there are many ways to get the overall picture, lots of websites give reviews, and matching job requirements and salaries, for all roles and they allow you to target the right people and remunerate them accordingly. However, then you need to really know what you are hiring for, it may sound basic but is often overlooked leading to wrong selections and poor outcomes.

Servant Leadership- Originally coined by Greenleaf in the 1970’s This is a key part of developing yourself as an authentic leader Servant leadership is a method of development for leaders. Servant leadership stresses the importance of the role a leader plays as the steward of the resources of the group, and teaches leaders to serve others while still achieving the goals set forth by the business. “The servant-leader is the servant first… It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first. Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead. That person is sharply different from one who is leader first, perhaps because of the need to assuage an unusual power drive or to acquire material possessions” Greenleaf- The ten principles of servant leadership 1. Listening. 2. Empathy. 3. Healing. 4. Awareness. 6. Conceptualization. 7. Foresight. 8. Stewardship. 9. Commitment to the Growth of People. 10. Building Community.

Once your coaching skills are established, you should then take this future and build mentoring into your business as well. This has multiple benefits as it not only encourages your people to support each other, but it helps break down business silos and braiden exposure to different ideas and thoughts. Ultimately this leads to greater innovation and business success. What You Need to Do- Exceptional Leadership is crucial for your long term Business Success
