Top 10 things in order to be an effective leader:
- You must have a vision (where are we, where are we going and how do we get there)
- You must be able to communicate this vision and convey it to your leaders (if you turnaround and not everyone is following refocus your efforts on communication)
- You must encourage those around you
- You must listen to those who you empower to carryout your vision
- You must often refer to #1 (have a vision) and #2 (communicate this vision)
- You must be relational (this means that you should comfort, encourage and urge others around you
- You must be open to those who you are empowering (give them a voice, because if they believe that they have value then your vision becomes even more invaluable)
- You must continually go through this list in order to make sure that you didn't stray into your own circle of non-communication to your team
- You must be a humble leader
- You must be an accountable leader
All of this is only possible when your vision is aligned with God's truth. This is not about a man, instead it is about God who became man to save you and me!
