Exercising leadership is actually a long-term process that requires continuous efforts and learning.
- Improve self-awareness: Know your strengths and weaknesses, either through self-reflection, or by participating in specially designed assessments, such as leadership proficiency tests.
- Learn communication skills: Leaders need to be able to express their views clearly, listen to others in a timely manner, and resolve conflicts effectively. Attending a speech or learning some negotiation skills can help you improve your ability in this area.
- Continuous learning and progress: Participate in related leadership improvement programs and read leadership-related books. Here I have to mention the ILM Leadership Academy. The ILM Leadership Academy provides you with the Young Leaders Award project, the Certificate in Leadership & Team Skills project and the upcoming Leadership & Management Diploma project in September this year, these projects aim to provide students with the basic skills, knowledge and personal abilities needed in a changing world through theory and practice.
- Develop decision-making skills: Decision-making skills are one of the key qualities of a leader. As a leader, you need to make informed decisions in complex situations.
- Accept the challenge: This can be by taking on a new project or taking on a leadership role in the organization. In the process of this work, challenge yourself, this process may encounter some difficulties, but it is these experiences that will make your leadership skills stronger.
- Learn to listen to others: A good leader listens to and understands the perspectives and needs of others. In the process of listening, you can understand the thoughts of others and better understand your team.
