To be a great leader!

 

As a newly appointed manager, you are likely to feel some kind of pressure to be a “great leader.”

Most managers are aware of the basic principles of good leadership which they have learnt earlier or read in leadership books, but only few are able to organize their learnings over the years into an actionable framework.

As a great leaders you must know and need to practice that there are two major areas of management focus - ‘tasks’ and ‘relationships.’

If you excel in both of these areas, you will be able to receive a superior performance from your team. However, it is important to know that balance between these two focus areas is absolutely essential.

Managers who are only focusing on task eventually face the burn out of his teammates.

Managers who are relationship focused, are not able to set sufficiently high performance standards and fail to challenge their teams to achieve set goals.

As a manager you need to learn to focus on task and relationship excellence to become a great leader.
