Задача 14. Inspirational leadership

Firstly, good leaders have to be trustworthy and honest – they earn respect by being fair. Secondly, they must really like people and be good at communicating – they need to have emotional intelligence and be able to listen to their staff.

Good leaders are committed to excellence and believe that their staff can deliver it. They must be enthusiastic so that they become a source of inspiration, and calm in a crisis. They work as a part of the team, and encourage all their staff to work towards the same goal, asking their employees’ opinions and actively involving them. However, good leaders must be confident about their decisions – it is difficult to follow someone who seems ensure. And they must also be able to take risks without being afraid.

Good leaders give their staff the freedom to make their own decisions, but also create a sense of structure and order. They are good at delegating. They praise people’s achievements - this is essential to getting good results and motivating people. Staff enjoy what they are doing, and are willing to do extra to make the company a success.

Bill Gates believes that leaders have to develop their staff so the staff do their jobs better than their managers. This can be threatening for managers, but gets great results. A leading basketball coach, Pat Summit, advises, ‘See in others more than they see in themselves. Your job as a manager is to identify the potential of others and make sure they fulfil it.’
