00:00:00
would you consider yourself a leader a
00:00:01
leader is an admirable position to take
00:00:03
up leaders have power and they have more
00:00:05
control over where they want things to
00:00:07
go people look up to leaders and while
00:00:09
they're given more responsibilities they
00:00:11
often reap more of the rewards but not
00:00:13
every person can actually be a leader
00:00:15
leadership takes skills and hard work
00:00:17
that do not always appeal to every
00:00:18
person working towards their goals if
00:00:20
you do want to step up and be a leader
00:00:21
though consider using some of these tips
00:00:23
to help you stand out tip number one
00:00:25
learn from other leaders are their
00:00:27
leaders that you admire you should try
00:00:29
to learn from them there are plenty of
00:00:30
books available that detail lessons from
00:00:32
leaders throughout many industries
00:00:33
throughout history and the journeys that
00:00:35
leaders take are not all fun and games
00:00:36
take some time to read about the
00:00:38
failures the obstacles and the
00:00:39
challenges that your favorite leaders
00:00:41
have faced throughout time you may find
00:00:43
some common lessons and experiences that
00:00:44
will help you on your own journey to
00:00:46
becoming a great leader tip number two
00:00:48
is that it takes work to build skills
00:00:50
leadership requires different skills
00:00:52
depending on what industry you work in
00:00:53
and what tasks you have at hand
00:00:55
talk to leaders in your industry and
00:00:56
learn what skills are necessary to get
00:00:58
in the position you want to see yourself
00:01:00
in then take the time to actually work
00:01:01
and build on those skills leaders often
00:01:03
have to work behind the scenes to
00:01:05
prepare themselves for a leadership role
00:01:07
even if you're not being directly
00:01:08
praised for any education or development
00:01:10
required to build your skills know that
00:01:12
this work will pay off to number three
00:01:14
is to believe that you are a leader if
00:01:16
you bring the energy of a leader to a
00:01:17
group the group will come to accept your
00:01:19
position before you walk in a room prep
00:01:21
yourself up and tell yourself that you
00:01:23
are a leader that you're strong that
00:01:24
you're confident and that you have the
00:01:25
skills to take on the toughest
00:01:27
responsibilities people will be able to
00:01:29
see whether or not you are a leader just
00:01:30
by your body language so your brain has
00:01:33
to believe it first if you walk into a
00:01:34
room with your head held high and your
00:01:36
shoulders back it will show confidence
00:01:37
proper posture is key to communicating
00:01:40
what your position is to others make
00:01:42
yourself big and maintain strong eye
00:01:43
contact and a strong handshake when
00:01:45
introducing yourself to others have you
00:01:47
come into a situation with confidence
00:01:48
people will naturally follow you and
00:01:50
believe that you can take on the
00:01:51
responsibilities tip number four is to
00:01:53
take up more tasks if you can lend a
00:01:55
helping hand if another leader is
00:01:56
delegating tasks that you know that you
00:01:58
can excel in you should go ahead and
00:02:00
volunteer if you know a leader that is
00:02:02
really struggling to look for volunteers
00:02:03
go ahead and step up the more you make
00:02:05
yourself present in an organization or a
00:02:07
business or a team the more people will
00:02:09
get to know you and that they will
00:02:10
know that they can rely on you even if
00:02:12
you take on just small tasks at first
00:02:14
eventually you will build up to take on
00:02:15
more and more responsibilities tip
00:02:17
number five is to share your ideas
00:02:19
leaders have to be able to put a plan
00:02:21
into place they have to have a vision so
00:02:23
don't be afraid to share your ideas with
00:02:24
your team or a group sharing your ideas
00:02:26
is like equivalent to taking up tasks
00:02:29
the more you are present within a team
00:02:30
or a group the more people will turn to
00:02:32
you even if you don't have a solution
00:02:33
yourself you can find ways that your
00:02:35
group can come up with a solution
00:02:36
together try to ask questions that
00:02:38
gather information and lead your team
00:02:39
towards a solution go ahead and write
00:02:41
these ideas down or have someone else
00:02:43
write them down so that you can have a
00:02:44
document to refer later on in the future
00:02:46
tip number six is to actually listen to
00:02:48
others not all leaders are made with
00:02:51
large mouths before and as you start to
00:02:53
take charge listen to the people around
00:02:55
you this is extremely important in
00:02:57
leadership how do they feel about a
00:02:58
situation what solutions and skills can
00:03:00
they actually offer if you listen to
00:03:02
other people you can bring their ideas
00:03:03
to the table and connect them with
00:03:05
opportunities so first in order to be a
00:03:07
leader you will need people to be able
00:03:08
to follow you while some leaders can
00:03:10
lead through fear and intimidation you
00:03:12
will get much further if your team truly
00:03:14
believes that they can benefit from
00:03:15
following your lead show them that they
00:03:17
can benefit from you by providing them
00:03:19
with responsibilities opportunity and
00:03:21
positive validation tip number seven is
00:03:23
to learn how to delegate leading is not
00:03:25
equivalent to taking on every single
00:03:27
task in order to get more things done
00:03:28
and to make your team feel valued you
00:03:31
need to learn how to delegate tasks
00:03:32
delegation requires planning and
00:03:34
considering the skills of everyone on
00:03:35
your team it also requires the trust
00:03:37
that someone else can do something
00:03:39
equally or even better than you can and
00:03:41
that also means humility once you've
00:03:42
gathered a list of tasks that needs to
00:03:44
get done for a project to happen see
00:03:46
what you can assign to other people and
00:03:47
who can actually do it in the best
00:03:49
manner possible
00:03:50
always accept help from your team if
00:03:51
they offer it but be sure to follow up
00:03:53
with the people who have taken on each
00:03:54
tasks also something you should know is
00:03:56
that sometimes people require training
00:03:58
during the delegation process as an
00:03:59
entrepreneur myself sometimes it's much
00:04:01
easier to spend to eight hours training
00:04:03
someone how to do something the right
00:04:04
way than spending an hour each day
00:04:06
fixing their mistakes for a whole year
00:04:08
tip number eight is to treat other
00:04:09
leaders with respect you might not be
00:04:11
the only person trying to lead in your
00:04:13
organization in fact you may be working
00:04:15
with someone who is an assigned leader
00:04:16
so you should be respectful of the
00:04:18
positions that everyone on your team has
00:04:19
even if you think that you could do a
00:04:21
better job many leaders earned their
00:04:23
without boasting or bragging about the
00:04:25
work that they have done to establish
00:04:26
that kind of leadership so don't
00:04:27
undercut someone else's skills or their
00:04:29
achievements just because you want to be
00:04:30
a bigger leader if you're not already a
00:04:32
leader you should be patient share your
00:04:34
ideas and step up when it's appropriate
00:04:35
and then eventually wait for a position
00:04:37
to open up for you to become a leader
00:04:39
and the last tip I have for you guys is
00:04:40
to know that there are many different
00:04:41
types of leaders it might sound like a
00:04:44
cliche but don't be afraid to be
00:04:45
yourself when you're establishing
00:04:46
yourself as a leader there's not just
00:04:48
one type of leader and your teammate
00:04:49
benefit from a group of leaders that
00:04:51
have different management styles and
00:04:52
different skills that help them lead
00:04:54
your group is most likely not a
00:04:55
dictatorship so share this stage with
00:04:57
other leaders and find a way that you
00:04:59
can be your own type of leader to have
00:05:00
the maximum benefit to your group also
00:05:02
