This Is How You Can Become a Better Business Leader

Posted on November 16, 2020January 22, 2021 by admin

Inspiring and motivating direct reports is the biggest skill differentiating good leaders from poor leaders.

And being a good leader means all the difference in employee engagement, satisfaction, and productivity. With that in mind, striving to be a good business leader should be a top priority for anyone striving for success in their industry.

Learning how to be a better leader doesn’t take much more than good communication, humility, and initiative. By simply searching and reading this, you’ve already demonstrated that you’re well on your way to becoming a better leader… so keep reading for more.

Why Is It Important to Be a Good Business Leader?

Good business leadership impacts how successful your direct reports are. By extension, good business leadership impacts how successful your organization is. That’s because business leaders are the ones setting goals, communicating them to the team, motivating members toward achieving those goals, and maintaining the status quo.

For all these reasons, good business leadership is important. And learning to be a good business leader is also important for your career: approximately 38% of new leaders fail at their job within the first 18 months of taking their position.

How to Be a Better Business Leader

Being a better business leader takes three things: knowing how to communicate, being proactive in terms of your own learning, and being humble. We explain why each of these is so important in more detail below.

1. Communicate

Communication is more than just telling people what work needs to be done, by whom, and at what time. Effective communication requires an open and direct line of communication between you and your team, that goes both ways. You’ll know that you’ve created an environment of open communication if there is trust among you and your team members.

2. Be Proactive

Reading about how to be a better business leader is a step in the right direction to becoming a better leader. It means you’re being proactive about learning and that you care enough about your team to do your own homework.

But you also don’t want to become outdated in your industry. That means constantly taking courses and workshops that help you be a better leader to your team. Consider things like accelerated leadership development programs or programs specific to the industry in which you work.

3. Be Humble

You can strengthen the trust among your team members by demonstrating humility. Being open and honest about the struggles you face or the mistakes you’ve made can help your team empathize with you. It also offers a chance to share learning experiences.

Being humble also means doing the work alongside your team. That doesn’t have to be working on the phones with customer service every day, but it does mean understanding the work they do and being willing to do it too.

More Business Advice

Being a good business leader is among the most important components of a successful business. Fortunately, being a good leader doesn’t take a four-year degree. All it takes is some proactivity, communication, and humility.

Of course, a little advice every now and then doesn’t hurt, either. For that, we’ve got you covered. Check our business section regularly for the latest advice and guidance.
