The Core Principles of Effective Leadership: Coaching, Self-Awareness, and Reflection

<p>Any leader&rsquo;s key focus must be on what makes teams effective. Your leadership needs to do to enable this.<br /> A great starting point is, to be honest with yourself; easy, eh?</p> <p>We all remember the feeling of dread immediately after the thrill of a promotion.<br /> Your life as a leader sucks; you&rsquo;re told to crack on, but knowing where to start is the real challenge.</p> <p><strong>Where do I start?</strong></p> <p>There are always too many medium posts to read, far too many good books (we leaders always love a &ldquo;read this&rdquo; chat), interesting articles, and for the most part, little or no support within your organisation regarding direction.</p> <p>Knowing your strengths, weaknesses, managing these, and being responsible for a team is a lot to take on, with generally no guard rails. We can help a little: the irony, an article to read.</p> <p>The concept of leadership has evolved significantly. Gone are the days of authoritative leaders barking orders; today, good leadership is built upon a solid foundation of specific principles that nurture growth, understanding, and effectiveness.</p> <p>Your measures of success must be broad enough to allow you to react and apply your focus in the right areas. Once you have experimented with what works, this should drive a framework for your future teams.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@modernworks/the-core-principles-of-effective-leadership-coaching-self-awareness-and-reflection-93233c898efc"><strong>Learn More</strong></a></p>
