Background - What is leadership?

Leadership is about how you influence others to achieve their goals. If you don't get the chance to get to know your team members, this is something you will struggle with. It might seem tempting to just jump in and make big moves right away, but you don't have to do this to prove your worth.

Listen to your team members, find out their needs and aspirations, gather ideas and determine potential strengths and weaknesses. Only then will you be able to create a leadership strategy that is likely to succeed. Knowing your team is key to building trust and respect with them. Keep in touch with your team, especially those who are struggling. It is a common practice for new team leaders to have a brief, 10-15 minute check in conversation once or twice per week. Even having calendar openings for ‘office hours’ can be a good idea.

This will allow people to schedule meetings and get in touch with you if needed. Team leaders must invest their time and effort in order to be successful. This is a common mistake that team leaders make. Too often, it's added to someone else's already long task list. This can lead to failure. You must be available to your team as a leader and visible to them. Your new leadership role includes creating a positive work environment and community. You won't be as visible and able to support your team if you are too busy with your critical tasks. Before you take on leadership, make sure to review your work load and negotiate new terms.
