recruiting leadership motivation promotion retention rewarding performance right people four primary leadership roles and responsibilities leave a comment a leader s specific roles are determined through the four basic leadership responsibilities of directing coaching supporting and delegating specific responsibilities will fall into one of these four categories in leadership practice one must master skills in all areas in order to effectively lead others under their direction effective leadership is not happenstance it follows specific rules revolving around these four basic areas of responsibility leadership skills can be learned and developed even if an individual does not have a natural tendency toward leadership more importantly once learned and applied these rules make a leader more effective and productive as he or she learns to work direct and guide others toward the mutual accomplishment of goals and objectives developing strengths in each of the four leadership roles allows a leader to read specific situations accurately and know what communication style is best applied directing directing refers to how to keep work tasks and activities on the right track a leader s direction is what makes or breaks problem solving as well as determines the effectiveness of an approach to an assignment or task the maintaining of momentum until its completion and whether it is done by deadline there are several ways to generate good direction techniques these include explain things completely and include the why s leaders learn early on that the best way to gain support and trust from their employees is to explain all things in their entirety once people understand why something is important or necessary they generally rally to the call of that which needs to be done or addressed remain visible leaders understand the power of their presence at all times nothing deflates the workforce s motivation and desire to achieve more than to be left on their own with no visible means of support or direction objectively consider opposing points of view leaders consider situations problems and solutions from various viewpoints as the input from as many individuals as possible expands their capabilities to effectively frame their direction coaching coaching refers to when a leader knows where he or she wants to go and remains in control of the task but needs to lead others in developing a mutual support network coaching instills the desire to achieve and builds a dialogue bridge between the leader and those under his or her charge this motivates employees and positively changes attitudes toward the work assignment to do this effectively a leader must make an effort to incorporate the word we into all conversations effective leaders eliminate the word i because it denotes a singular rather than cooperative effort the very meaning of the term coaching implies a team effort listen for objections and areas of misunderstanding effective leaders who coach well develop the skill of eliminating objections by developing an effective dialogue and creating clear and concise responses offer explanations addressing the why s what s and how s of the problem or task at hand good coaching depends upon complete understanding motivation and confidence comes from understanding the expectations a leader has of those involved in a given task assignment or problem solving situation supporting managers cannot be effective leaders unless they actively hone their supporting skills people look warmly on leaders who actively work to support them emotionally as well as physically when leaders actively work to support the people under their charge they acknowledge individual efforts with comments of praise and positive support leaders are not afraid to say thank you or you re doing a great job or whatever it takes to instill confidence in an individual disclose their own feelings openly and honestly leaders are not afraid to reveal their inner self trust and loyalty are built on disclosing inward feelings concerns and desires readily and honestly opening up builds encouragement and perseverance on both sides never hesitate to ask what s wrong leaders allow themselves to get into the thick of a situation or task and are quick to share the decision making responsibility but know when to relinquish control in order to gain extra participation and involvement delegating leaders know and understand their people they know their strengths and weaknesses as well as what motivates and frustrates them effective delegating relies on the ability to select the proper person for the specific task or role leaders develop good delegation skills by briefing the delegate leaders leave nothing to chance when they delegate when delegating it is vital to explain exactly what expectations the leader has of the delegated individual having confidence in the person they select leaders do not select individuals for an assignment according to their job descriptions or the salaries they command they look for people with the skills abilities perseverance and motivation to get the job done and done well not abdicating responsibility but allowing individuals to decide a best course of action for themselves leaders monitor and weigh these individual decisions but never advance their own leadership position for a particular course of action unless they assess it to be the best one excerpt leadership roles responsibilities leadership skill development training series majorium business press stevens point wi 2011 related you are judged by

delegating directing leadership leadership skills motivation problem solving responsibilities roles supporting eight problem solving traps leave a comment the process of problem solving can at first blush appear relatively simple the difficulty is defined facts and evidence are collected and analyzed and a solution agreed to however because imperfect people make decisions the entire process is fraught with traps that can lead to serious errors in judgment problem solving is not to be taken lightly it is a step by step process that when properly sequenced and followed should produce solid results unskilled problem solvers will often misinterpret the issues attempting to solve symptoms rather than root causes and makes the situation more confusing than it has to be it is important for individuals to understand that effective problem solving often consumes more time than most people are willing to invest rather than go about it properly many just want to react and deal with the problem quickly however the time invested to thoroughly investigate and solve a problem more often than not produces a more successful solution and happier employees and customers individuals can easily fall into a number of common problem solving traps the resulting consequences are often faulty decisions based on poorly framed questions inadequate analysis and a host of other factors rather than solve anything these traps often complicate the problem making it more difficult to resolve plunging in in this case individuals begin to gather facts data and information and form conclusions without thoroughly exploring the problem they are in a reactive mode and desire to quickly dismiss the problem which leads to faulty decisions based upon unsubstantiated assumptions such hastiness can worsen the situation and make the solution more elusive wrong problem individuals set out to resolve the wrong problem because they have established a mental framework for their decision with little or no forethought they incorrectly frame the problem or use the wrong boundaries and reference points causing them to overlook the best options or to lose focus on the issue lack of definition individuals fail to consciously define the problem in more than one way in other instances their definition is biased or unduly influenced by others problems must be viewed and framed from a variety of perspectives to adequately define and resolve the problem when definitions are limited so are the available solutions overconfidence individuals are too sure of their assumptions and opinions and they become overconfident failing to collect key facts data and information they trust their intuition and the most readily available information or convenient facts without taking the time to fully investigate the problem lack of adequate analysis rather than taking a systematic approach to problem solving many individuals instead believe they can keep the facts straight in their heads consequently they believe they are making intuitive judgments based upon the information available and don t engage in careful analysis here one often overlooks key evidence that can impact the ultimate solution groups that fail to use good problem solving skills and processes can also fail to make sound decisions or they fall into a groupthink mode where everyone agrees with one another without using critical thinking skills faulty interpretation there are instances when people refuse to properly interpret the results of their analysis because it runs counter to their beliefs or does not fit their own set of assumptions in other cases pride gets in the way of arriving at an appropriate decision failure to keep track many individuals assume they will automatically remember their past experiences research has demonstrated that when individuals maintain systematic records that they periodically review they can distill valuable lessons that could be applied to later situations failure to have a formal process people who fail to develop a formal problem solving process that they can use fairly and consistently will often repeatedly fall into the problem solving traps
