hey guys practically psychology here and
today i'm going to be teaching you some
tips on how to be a great leader so one
of the biggest misconceptions about
leadership is that it is something that
is innate many people think that leaders
are born this way and they don't have to
spend time and effort to develop their
leadership capabilities
this cannot be any further from the
truth by implementing the 90 words of
leadership into your life you'll be able
to develop your potential as a leader
earn more money in your career and earn
even more respect from your peers and be
more fulfilled in your personal life so
here are nine tips on how to be a better
leader
tip number one integrity integrity is
the foundation of all leadership people
are not willing to follow someone whose
actions are unethical or unjust imagine
you are working for a boss who despite
your great efforts and sacrifices for
the company gives the job promotion to
employee that has been slacking off
why would you follow such a leader on
the other hand when we operate from
integrity regain the trust of the people
we work closely with trust amongst team
members is one of the most accurate
predictors of success and it all starts
with the leaders integrity then the team
members can reciprocate the behavior of
the leader and create a favorable
atmosphere so that everyone can benefit
that number two is that actions speak
louder than words a great leader should
lead by example not delegate something
to his followers not willing to do
himself during World War one general
george s patton led his troops by
walking in front of the tanks
despite the risk of being easily shot by
the enemies martin luther king jr
mahatma gandhi were all great leaders
who stood up and led by example
you're not a true leader if you are not
brave enough to take the first leap
practice doing three small things were
afraid of every day to get familiar with
being uncomfortable when the time comes
to take charge you'll have built the
resilience and confidence abilities your
friends or classmates will then see you
as a powerful gifted leader while you
are enjoying the fruits of your labor
tip number 3 be persuasive the third
secret to making people follow you as a
leader is to become more persuasive
persuasion is too broad of a topic to
cover in a single point so you should
definitely spend a lot of time studying
it because it will skyrocket your
success one powerful thing you can do to
10 times your persuasion when you ask
someone to do something for you is to
frame it so that they see the benefit
they get from doing a particular thing
if you can persuade your buddy to come
work out with you it would be wiser to
show him what he will get increased
confidence longer life and girls looking
at him right
you've been saying that you feel bored
or unmotivated to go to the gym alone
and you need a partner
tip number four is to make people feel
important the billionaire Mary Kay ashes
secret to building your empire would
imagine that every person she met had a
sign on their forehead that said make me
feel important leadership is not about
the leader it's about the followers
according to her this is a secret to
succeed in life but how do i make people
feel important genuinely ask them
questions about their interests passions
concerns and other things don't forget
to praise and thank them on the smallest
achievement never condemn offer
constructive feedback and that will help
them improve their number five is
depraved in public and correct and
private one of the worst thing the
leader can do is to condemn someone for
a mistake in front of his or her
colleagues now you've ever had friends
over and your parents got mad at you for
something you probably felt like this
not only will violate the make people
feel important tool but you will lose
your respect and credibility as a leader
of course we can all agree that mistake
should be paid attention to and
corrected in order to not be repeated
but here's a framework on how to give
proper criticism so the person that you
were criticizing two things that they do
well before criticizing them and then
one after the criticism
this is called sandwich approach let's
say that your colleague or business
partner is 20 minutes late every morning
first you talk to him in private and
start with the praise then you include
the criticism and again finishers of
praise
James the customer service you provide
for our client is really outstanding the
fact that you're late for work every
morning is a problem for us because our
team and clients need your exceptional
skills and knowledge at that time of day
just like that the number six is to take
responsibility for your mistakes leader
is not supposed to be perfect or not
make any mistakes
making mistakes is completely normal
unless you try to cover them up deny
them or make somebody else responsible
for them a great leader earns respect by
admitting his or her mistakes and
learning the lesson vulnerability is a
sign of leadership strength it is
mistakenly viewed as a weakness at
number seven is a have a clear goal or a
vision successful companies reach
consensus on all of the common goals
from top to the bottom of the hierarchy
even the most brilliant strategy will
fail if such consensus has not received
after you have set a clear achievable
and yet at the same time challenging
goal as a leader and communicated them a
call
Emily to all of your followers were
bound to achieve them despite the
University another tip to achieve goals
be it for yourself for the organization
you're in is to write them on paper
people with written goals are 51-percent
more likely to achieve the goals then
without yet only three out of a hundred
volts actually write their goals down
according to a study in the UK number
eight is to be knowledgeable so this was
the first tip and how to think like dr.
house being knowledgeable as a leader is
crucial in order to feel confident and
gain the respect of your followers
saying that you don't know how to do
something and asking for advice is fine
but when this happens regularly you
start to lose your leadership
credibility you still have to have that
technical information
always seek out new information and try
to better yourself as a person
this will inevitably make you a better
leader and more valuable as a person
that number nine is to surround yourself
with great people
there's a saying that you were the sum
average of the five people you spend
most of your time with no matter how
great the leader is he or she will
always be limited by the potential of
his employees let go of the old friends
or relatives that are holding a batter
has a whole bunch of negativity in their
life
it's ok to help them but if they keep
dragging down you should probably let
them go
surround yourself with epic people that
will challenge you to make a stronger
version of yourself Andrew Carnegie
attributed his success to being
surrounded with people way smarter than
he was in putting the brainpower to
youth become one of the wealthiest men
in the world i was Thomas Edison able to
invent the light bulb without formal
education he simply use the brand of
highly educated physicist and people
that excelled academically in
combination with his perseverance he was
able to add more than 1,000 patents to
his name
