Becoming a Leader Dale Carnegie Training ® The Coach's Corner Quick Success Tips from the Carnegie Coach 1. Know the basics. Leadership is a terrific quality that not all people are lucky enough to possess. Here is a simple list of the qualities one must possess to be a good leader and those which are characteristic of an ineffective leader. Develop your ability to win friends and influence business people by participating in a Dale Carnegie Course. The Ineffective Leader The Effective Leader Pushes people Guides people Instills fear Motivates by enthusiasm Says "do this" Says "Let's do this together" Makes work feel like a chore Makes work interesting and fun Leads with authority Leads through cooperation Says "you" Says "we" Orders tasks Encourages creativity Provides answers Asks questions Controls Delegates 2. Create a plan. Supervisors need to delegate work to others while looking at the big picture. Figuring out all that needs to get done and then creating a plan of action to make it all happen is the trick to completing everything on time without putting undue pressure on other employees. Be sure to budget appropriate time for the completion of tasks and that you communicate the plan to everyone involved. 3. Monitor progress and make tweaks to your plan. Perhaps things are not going as you intended and the team is stuck on one item. Ensure that this is accounted for in the plan and that time can be made up in other areas through some simple adjustments. The monitoring of team progress will also ensure better results and that tasks can be changed on the fly to maximize efficiency.
