Knowledge power
This is the 1st traits of effective leadership and the most important thing you

need to have. You are the leader and you do not know where you are

going, what you are doing, that’s a difficult situation. Get yourself to have

thorough product knowledge, knowledge of the policies and procedures as

knowledge will help you deal with difficult situations and help your team

out of it. With proper knowledge, you are not going to be able to help your

team and neither yourself. Do not forget effective leadership skills is all

about others it is no more about you. And anyway if your team performs

well you will be the one receiving the credit as a good and effective

leadership skill. By having good and required knowledge you can be

prepared for unforeseen situations, which is your responsibility.

2.

Roles and responsibilities

accountable for the deeds and the actions performed by your team

members. You cannot get up and say that your team member did it and

why are you being held accountable for the same. It is your team it is your
responsibility to make sure that your team performs well. Get to know your

roles and responsibilities well before you start performing as a leader. You

can take the help of your leader and the HR of the organization to guide

you through your roles and responsibilities. Knowing your roles and

responsibility does not just restrict you to them, knowing them helps you

understand your job and your profile better, however taking up additional

responsibilities is always beneficial for you and your learning process. When

you take up responsibilities you are recognized better by the management

as they know you have the capabilities of taking and living up to your

responsibilities.

3.

Work with your team

one of the most important parts of the team. You have to still behave like a

team member by working with the team, helping them solve their

issues, coordinating between teams to make sure you get the best solution

for your team’s problems and the fastest way to the resolution. Not like the

old notion where the leader is right on top of the pyramid, now in the
corporate world today you have to be a part of the pyramid and work with

the team to help them perform better. You have to support your team with

your technical support and knowledge, emotional support motivation and

vision to help them perform as per the company standards. You have to

insist on the support of the team by using the words ‘WE’ and not ‘I’ as I

alone will not be able to meet up to the expectations of the organization.

Keep your team united and remind them of working as a team regularly.

4.

Know your team members

definitely specialize in different aspects and domains of business. Know

each individual not just professionally but also somewhat personally simply

in order to connect well as a leader. When you know them professionally

you will get to know their specialization, what they are good at and what

they are not good at. If you know their weaknesses coach them and train

them in order to overcome their weaknesses to help them have knowledge

of all business domains the team has been performing. Knowing your

effective leadership skills well is one of your major responsibilities as you

out of it.

5.

Take up challenges
To come into a position of taking challenges you need to have a very

strong team in terms of knowledge, ability, willingness, and commitment

towards the organization and their job roles. A team leader is the right

person in inculcating these values into his team members. Once you train

the team just the way you like it you can help prove the same to the higher

management. Taking up challenging situations and helping by resolving

them is a very good way of learning something new for you and the team

and also proving your worth to the management. Remember that the

management remembers your performances and your efforts and rewards

you accordingly.

6.

Take risk
Taking risks is coming up with new ideas and initiating them. The ideas do

not necessarily need to come from the leader itself, on a situation or maybe

even without a tough situation the leader needs to come up with ideas in

order to improve and maximize the potentials of the system and the

organization. Effective leadership can give ideas and implement them or

they can take suggestions and ideas from his team members. The ideas do

not need to come only from an individual they can also come from a

community. However, recognizing good ideas and initiating them is the job

and the responsibility of the leader. Monitoring the new idea in order to

make sure that is works needs to be done by him. Not necessarily all the

ideas will work the way they should or the way they are estimated.

However, risk needs to be taken in order to confirm the durability of an

idea. Leaders are people who are willing to step out into the unknown as

making the unknown work with the help of his experience, knowledge,

ability, and confidence.

7.

Recognize and encourage

employee gets it at his workplace nothing is more encouraging for him.

Now motivation can be given in a number of ways these ways can be either

through verbal motivation amid the team members, then next can be an

appreciation mail from you to the performer and your seniors informing

them about the activity performed by the member, issue of achievement

certificates, monitory motivation, gift cards as a motivational factor,

designation hike and if you have any more motivational ideas you can

include them. traits of effective leadership recognizing the efforts your

subordinate and your team members put in are extremely important and

motivating them to keep the good work up and do even better keep their

spirits up and running. Make sure you recognize their efforts and motivate

them accordingly.

8.

Have a positive and a problem-solving

you take up you will face challenging situations and you will have to find
solutions for these situations. Effective leadership has a bigger

responsibility for getting these issues sorted. Your attitude towards

problem-solving matters a lot, if you take a problem as a challenge and

something to learn from you will be able to handle problems calmly and

patiently. Keep a positive attitude towards problems you come across at

your workplace and you will get to learn a lot from these daily issues. Keep

your attitude and your approach towards your job role that might also

include problem-solving positive. If you have a positive attitude towards

your work and work-related issues even your team will be motivated.

9.

Listen to your subordinates

members approaching you for different things some might be issues or

some might be ideas. It is important to listen to them. by listening you

might get a resolution for a number of problems, you might have to solve a

few problems for your team members and most of all your team members

will believe that their problems are being addressed to, and their leader is
considerate enough. Listening is extremely difficult to let me be precise

effective listening is extremely difficult and needs a lot of practice.

Practicing your management skills is extremely important for effective

leadership.
