Taking on Leadership Roles
7:49:53 2024-03-13 677

1- Speak up if you are shy. You can build your character by taking on more responsibility. It will help expand your knowledge base and give you a new perspective. Begin by looking at how you communicate with others. If you are typically afraid to speak up, make an effort to let your voice be heard.

  • Maybe you are on the music committee at your church. If you feel strongly that a piece of music should be used in an upcoming service, speak up and make your point clearly.
  • At work, try to participate more in meetings. People will be responsive if you state your ideas clearly and confidently.

 


2- Let others speak first if you are typically vocal. You can also show leadership by showing restraint. If you are generally very talkative, try letting someone else be heard. Then you can think before you speak and thoughtfully respond.

  • If you generally set the agenda for the weekend, ask your partner if there are some specific things that they would like to do.
  • It’s great to actively participate in class discussions. But you’ll learn something by listening to others, too.


3- Be open to learning new things. Being open-minded allows to to gain new knowledge and perspective. Each time you learn something new, you are building on your knowledge base and becoming a stronger person. Don't just be open to learning new things, seek out opportunities to do so.

  • You could apply this at work. Say to your boss, “I’d love to learn more about the accounting side of our operation. Could I sit in on your meeting this afternoon?”

 

4- Make and pursue attainable goals. Setting clear goals can help you define your priorities. You'll become a stronger person as you work towards making your goals a reality. Choose something that you want to work on and make that your focus. You can do this in your personal life as well as at work or school.

  • For example, maybe you set a goal of learning to speak Spanish. Identify the best way to make that happen and get to work.
  • You could find a class to take at a community college or look for an online course. You could also purchase a product like Rosetta Stone.
  • Make a schedule for how you will spend your time. Track your progress.
  • Working towards clear goals can help you develop discipline, which is part of developing strength of character.

 

5- Ask for help when you need it. Some people consider asking for help a sign of weakness. Actually, it shows a strength of character by illustrating that you can identify and articulate your needs. Make your requests specific and clear.

  • Instead of saying to your partner, "I need more help around the house!" try, "It would be great if you could be in charge of the laundry from now on."

 

6- Highlight the strengths of others. Empowering others is a great way to raise everyone, including yourself. Good leaders know that building people up is better for you than trying to tear them down. Make sure that you are communicating with your team, and making everyone's contributions matter.

  • Point out people's strengths and help them build upon them. You could say, "You really have a talent for making presentations. Would you like to speak on behalf of the group?"
  • Focus on the success of the team instead of just yourself. Approach leadership as a "we" instead of a "me."

 

7- Face challenges head on. Instead of turning away from a problem, find a way to deal with it. You'll need to evaluate the situation objectively and avoid an emotional response. Then you can work on finding and implementing a solution.

  • For example, say you are managing a team at work and one of your key players resigns without notice. Instead of getting angry, focus on the situation. You'll probably need to redistribute the work. Call a team meeting, explain the situation, and ask for ideas. Then you can reassign the work and keep moving forward.
