Leadership is a skill that can be developed through practise, observation, and cultivation. It’s important for each consultant to practise the leadership techniques shared in different coaching sessions within the We Love Sales network. Here are a few of the things offered to help them become great leaders:
• Build a Great Culture: Even if you’re leading others within an organisation, you can build a culture around you. This is done through listening, respecting, and encouraging people to act in the same way. While our discussion of culture focuses on the atmosphere of a business, much smaller units of people can create a culture in the ways they behave cohesively.
• Focus on Results: While strategy is good, don’t forget to pay attention to the big picture and where you’re trying to head. When our business consultants get bogged down in details, the We Love Sales leaders remind them to look at how well they’re moving forward on the metrics that really matter.
• Aim High: Be willing to set ambitious goals. Most major goals, when broken down, become surprisingly achievable. Once you have a big goal, see what you need to do first in order to move towards it.
Being a great leader means inspiring those around you to work with you towards a goal. By choosing inspiring goals, building a great culture, and focussing on results instead of micromanaging, you’re likely to achieve major success.
