Comment on Danielle Trueba's post: You're right, Danielle. When I was younger, I used to hear some adults say, "Do as I say, not as I do." That is such a misconception, because kids almost never only do what they hear; they do what they see. Actions usually stick in the mind more deeply than words. This is true for adults as well. We can be influenced in positive or negative ways by those who we call our leaders.
I appreciate a leader who is honest and can admit mistakes, being transparent with the team. It doesn't diminish the strength of their role. It makes them stronger because the team will come to respect their courage and openness which creates a safe space to share successes and failures so that the team can grow and learn together.
As a leader it is important to assess your team and provide them with the resources they need to be successful. (i.e. coaching, additional training...). Leaders must always lead by example and provide a sense of purpose, build trust and nurture hope. Your team will feel inspired and positive results will come.
I learned that we have to work with individuals and their strengths and work towards the common goal. Anyone can be a leader and I can see how other leaders I have been around may have failed. You need the willingness to learn and grow.
It is important to understand situational leadership and determine the best style to use, because different people and situations require different approaches. By recognizing the needs, skills, and motivation of those involved, a leader can adapt their style to provide the right balance of guidance, support, and independence, leading to better outcomes and stronger team performance.
Anyone can have a leadership role, but it's how you lead your team. By listening and fostering a positive environment.
If followers know you are buying into what they go through on a daily basis, they will know your passion is with theirs. If you do not show it, even though it is not "'your style", you will have to battle it to get buy-in.
Leading by example is paramount in being an effective and respected leader.
An inspiring documentary! A good leader should be transparent, empower team members, and address students' needs. It is essential to identify, analyze, and resolve issues with the team. In summary, understanding problems and setting clear goals is vital.
Good leadership will propel people to work harder, therefore creating better outcomes for the institution. Showing commitment and leading by example are significant for creating an ideal leadership.
I learned that a leader must be there for all those good and difficult moments supporting the team with anything they need to be successful. A leader must be visible and approachable. A leader must take time to know every person of the team, to know the strengths and weaknesses and provide extra support to those who need it.
I learned that leadership is not something everyone may excel at. Although, it does take effort and dedication, to become an effective leader.
We need to understand people and lead by example.
I have learned that the core tenets of leadership provide a clear pathway to achieving results. While there are various paths to leadership, it is essential to know what we want, provide clear direction, build trust, and foster hope among staff in order to achieve the best outcomes.
The 4 tenets of leadership help understand in a simple yet comprehensive way the journey for a successful leadership
I have learned that you have to be "all in" to be a good leader. It isn't easy!
My key takeaway from this module is that it is important for leaders to understand their followers. This sometimes means that leaders need to adapt their leadership styles to meet the needs of their followers and to support their goals.
I was previously unaware of the 4 tenets of leadership. Learning about the importance of each one has helped me understand how each can play such a large role in a team member's desire to perform/overall performance, which can lead to longevity.
Leaders lead the way and should be a role model for others. This will impact the followers in a positive way and lead to improved performance.
