How to be a Better Leader

How many of would say that you’re a leader in your field? 👀👀👀👀

How many of you are building teams? 👀👀👀

If you’ve ever done one or both of them, you will know that communication is paramount and most of the time you will have communication with team members, colleagues and clients.

Within that, you are bound to have conversations with team members, customers etc and that requires you to listen to them

So, here are my top tips on how you can become a better listener/ leader 

1- Make a decision to listen

Sometimes paying attention to the person shows that you are interested and involved 

When you make a decision to listen, you are saying that what the person has to say is of utter importance…….  and it will boost your rapport and credibility with them. 

2- Don’t interrupt

There’s a reason why they’ve come to you to talk so it’s vital that you let them talk. Let them finish before you ask questions 

Allowing the client or individual to finish what they’ve said can indicate that you value their opinion and always want to listen to what they have to say. 

3- Always keep a note on what they say

You are more likely to gain headway if you keep a note on what has been said in the conversation 

There will always be a likelihood that you will need to revisit that particular conversation and doing so will show that you remember what was said and you are invested in what the individual has to say.

This should help you on your path to be a better leader

It’s not always easy but focusing on your communication skills should help when doing business or at work.
