Lead by example

I often try to lead by example, however I am not good at explaining tasks with authority.
Observe a good leader and duplicate their actions.
Passion
Other can be driven and can aspire through your own passion and enthusiasm.
When doing something I enjoy I am an extremely passionate person.
Be more positive and passionate about tasks I don’t enjoy, and give it a go.
Be organized
Being disorganised rubs off on the team -developing more disoragnisation. Being organised makes you and your team more constructive.
Organisation is something I lack in. often forgetting tasks and leaving things to the last minute.
Purchasing a diary and recording tasks that need to be done daily.
Delegate
A leader can’t do everything. To successful delegate, you must give employees possession of the work you assign them.
I am not good at enforcing tasks upon people, as I have never been the one to delegate.
Observe a good leader and duplicate their actions.
Practice.
Take ownership and responsibility
Although you have delegated, you must also take ownership and control at all times. Your team needs to understand that you can lend a helping hand when needed.
I am a bit controlling at times, especially when I want things done a certain way. I am always more than happy to help.
Learn to trust others around me to do a task, and learning to have faith in people.
