What is Leading Effectively?
• “Leading effectively means more than just getting results. It means getting the commitment of the team. Many leaders focus only on the results part and forget about their people. They bang people over their heads until the job gets done. Their definition of success is the team’s short term output. The true test of leadership, on the other hand, is to win the trust and respect of the team, keep their motivation running high, and help them reach new heights, As a result, the team will work together and consistently perform well over time- even if the leader is not around”
