Emmanuel Donkor

            
“The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and self-restraint to keep from meddling with them while they do it.”– Theodore Roosevelt
Have your employees figured you out? If you’ve been in your leadership role for some time, it’s possible your employees have labelled your leadership style as one of the following:

1) The team builder

The concept of organizing groups of employees into manageable units for various purposes. Building teams is important for several reasons, including the culture teams create in the business. A positive business culture is essential to continued profitability and customer retention.

2) The commander

A person in authority, especially over a body of troops or a military operation.

3) The mentor

A leader who is experienced and trusted adviser. Is your leader an experienced and trusted adviser?  if yes, then your leader or employer is a mentor to you.

4) The manager/ boss

Someone who gives orders in a domineering manner. Also known as a reactive person who only acts upon a situation when it arises. This person is not considered to be proactive in the development of their team.

5) The micro manager

A micro manager is someone who gives excessive supervision to employees. A micro manager, rather than telling an employee what task needs to be accomplished and by when, will watch the employee’s actions closely and provide rapid criticism if the manager thinks it’s necessary.

6) The motivator 

Is your Leader a motivator? Ok then A leader must be someone that makes people enthusiastic about doing something.
“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” – John Quincy Adams.
A good leader wants his people to be successful and provides them with the necessary tools to succeed. There is no question about that. However, A Great leader is not only wants his team to be successful and provides them with the necessary tools to succeed, he takes a genuine interest in their goals and he inspires and motivates them to strive for excellence. He leads by example and pushes you to achieve the unattainable. He sees your full potential and utilizes your talents to the fullest. What type of leader do you your employees to see you as? An even deeper thought is, do you care? If so, are you willing to change?
“Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others”.— Jack Welch
Great leaders are wise enough to know they too need continued education. What they can offer their team depends on what they know, so they feed themselves knowledge on a regular basis. They don’t stop growing. Great leaders become successful from helping others achieve their own success. Great leaders truly do exist.
