LEADERSHIP ACTIONS

LEADERSHIP ACTIONS
Leadership actions are different from styles in that actions are individual and specific, whilst styles are
overall approaches. Both are based on a combination of their beliefs, values and preferences, as well as
the organizational culture and norms which will encourage some styles and discourage others.
ACTIONS LEADERS DO
Leaders help themselves and others to do the right things. They set direction, build an inspiring vision, and
create something new. ... Yet, while leaders set the direction, they must also use management skills to
guide their people to the right destination, in a smooth and efficient way.
FOUR LEADERSHIP ACTIONS

There are four factors to transformational leadership, (also known as the "four I's"): idealized influence,
inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individual consideration. Each factor will be
discussed to help managers use this approach in the workplace.

LEADERSHIP IS AN ACTION NOT A POSITION
Leadership is not a position at all. In the military, many think of rank as a form of leadership. Rank is not
leadership; it is a position of authority.
What happens many times is someone who may have achieved a certain rank is not actually an effective
leader or only effective in certain lanes. If a subordinate military member goes to another person in
another position of similar rank with something very personnel that should be a clear indication that
something is missing in that subordinate’s bosses leadership.
Many times when leaders are ineffective with their leadership they rely on their authority granted by their
position. Even worse, they may not be open to feedback, which is vital to grow as a leader. Everyone has
been a leader at some point their life. Essentially you just need one other person that you are leading in a
given situation. You should strive to be an effective leader in any situation you come across in life. It is
why you are there.
A LEADERSHIP BY EXAMPLE WHETHER HE INTENDS TO OR NOT

In both the military and business people do what their boss says because of authority but that does not
mean the masses are enrolled in the bosses leadership. Leadership is similar to love and trust, as it cannot
be quantified. It is something you feel. Great leaders make more leaders and do not hoard their
knowledge for fear of losing their own job. Great leaders know when to inspire, when empathy is needed
and when strength is required. Great leaders also provide feedback when needed. This can be in the form
of thoughts on a subject, acknowledgment of a worker or helping someone see what they cannot see with
their own performance.
10 Important Actions of Leadership
1. Put others first. Making others feel important will gain their trust and improve the relationship.
2. Have a vision, set of values or common goal people can get behind. When others believe that the
cause is worthwhile, they will be willing to get on board.
3. Practice praise and gratitude. These are important to others, especially if they feel unimportant or
unappreciated.
4. Be there. Leadership takes commitment to be visible to the followers or team. If they don’t feel
everyone, including the leader, is fully part of the team, the overall atmosphere suffers.
5. Communicate effectively. Make conversations interactive and get the point across efficiently.
6. Be decisive and lead by example. Be the person worth following and make the important decisions
quickly and effectively
7. Delegate to competent team members. There is no one-man-show in a team. Take the tasks others
might not want, but ensure those with the skills to be effective are being utilized.
8. Practice respect. Respect is easier to give to people who already show it.
9. Inspire and motivate. Focus on the positive aspects of each team member and motivate them to grow
their skills and competencies.
10. Keep momentum up. There may be times were morale is lower or goals are not being met in the
timeframes set out. Every plan needs to be adaptable and it is up to the leader to ensure things stay on
track.
