Leadership Training Workshop Tip: Leading Elegantly

One of the most important tasks of leadership coaching is to equip leaders in understanding how they should apply leadership to your team. There is a fine balance to be struck here. If the leadership grip is too lax, the team is going to be out of control and there would be less productivity. But if the leadership grip is too tight, team members could revolt and the whole plan would backfire.

So, it becomes very important that you know how to guide your team through leadership. You should know it is NOT to tighten the leadership grip or hold reins... IT IS to establish an honest, elegant, courageous culture of conversation, which is the essence of elegant leadership.

If you have an individual relationship with each member of your team, this becomes very easy. You just have to play to their strengths then, and you have to know their weaknesses. Don't give anyone something they cannot do, and don't insult anyone's potential by giving them something lesser than what they can do very well. The problem arises when you don't know what your team is capable of, and that is what happens most of the time. That is the reason it is important to know your team. As a leader aspiring to be effective, you need to be able to do that.

Spend a lot of time with your team members as a group and individually. Hold sessions where they can all give their ideas and opinions. Don't mind much if these sessions get a little noisy. You have to hear what they are talking, because it is their sentences that will tell you what their ideas are, and that is what tells you how capable they are.

Once you have identified who is capable of doing what, start assigning your tasks. Now you know their potentials. You know what you can possibly expect from them. This is the time to hold your sway over your members. When you know what they can do, you can keep judging them by the way they are achieving their tasks, and you know better whether you should become stricter with them or let loose a bit.
