On-the-Job Development Resources – Aspiring Team Leader
Adaptability
Adaptability: Supports new initiatives, tries out different approaches, and adjusts behavior to accommodate changes in the workplace. Manages emotions and remains effective during stressful situations. Seeks to learn new skills and continually develop capabilities.
Accept Structure & Embrace Change
As a leader, one of the most important skills to master is that of influencing. Similar to skills required in selling products or services, leaders must learn the art of reading people and communication in an effort to positively persuade others. To improve your ability to influence others, learn how to present your proposition clearly, to support it with data and facts and to structure your deals in such a way as to move forward toward closure.
3 Ways of Improving your Influencing Skills are as followed:
1. Present your ideas, thoughts or proposition clearly to those you are looking to persuade. What is the outcome that you are anticipating? What do you hope to accomplish? If you have presented your ideas already, have you done so in a clear manner? If not, what can you do to rectify the situation?
2. Present supporting data, facts or information for your idea. Many people respond positively when you support a statement, request or idea with supporting information. Search for information that will add credibility in order to improve your ability to persuade others. Even if you don’t require the information that you gather to persuade someone, it is a good process to work through as it will enhance your initial presentation. Knowledge is power.
3. Develop structure for your ideas and work through to completion. Influencing others is a process. And the process will go smoother when you implement structure into your methodology. With practice, the process will become more and more like a habit and your skills will improve. Always follow the entire process to completion or resolution.
