To achieve new process, strategy and execution plan in 2015 the 7 skills for leadership that she suggests:
1. Analyze complex issues.....set aside appropriate lengths of time to foster effective issue resolution session. Be in person to dramatically impact team of effectiveness. Use the white board.
2. Communicate clearly: "the most important thing in communication is hearing what is not said." Peter Drucker. It is highly important to integrate other aspects of concise, concrete, correct, coherent, complete and courteous communication. These types of communication are must have for implementing change.
3. Demonstrate consistent professionalism, high integrity and honesty. This is essential to build trust and respect around you. By demonstrating consistency and full responsibility of your action it will set the stage for the other to follow: "Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody's going to know whether you did it or not.” Oprah Winfrey.
4. Drive Results: Identifying the specific goals that are challenging but attainable and measurable. For this you need employees’ involvement, a goal setting process and a much focused, supportive and rewarding team work environment. “Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked: leadership is defined by results not attributes.” Peter Drucker.
5. Inspire others: through valued based behavior, by powerful passionate and meaningful communication; demonstrate excellent listening skills, know the big picture of the organization mission and vision; Employee inclusion and trust in you is a must. “Leadership is based on a spiritual quality; the power to inspire, the power to inspire others to follow." Vona Lombadi.
6. Motivate others: Listening, encouraging and asking, "How I help'" is the magic. Understand the “something” to reach your goal. "Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes group effort-- that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work."...Vince Lombardi.
7. Remove obstacles and solve problems: Sharing and understanding the problem will allow solving; narrowing to 2 or 3 options will assist you to get the best solutions, based on your resources needs, budget time, etc.
