9 DISC MANAGEMENT Motivators and Stressors Directing & Delegating Style Motivating Developing Employees Working with Managers

10 ATTRIBUTES OF A LEADER Adapt to the changes: The World is changing at a fast pace. The successful leader learns how to keep up with it. Do not just blindly follow the age old norms and rules. Think out of the box when required. Adjust to the needs of the organization. Value the employees: The people are any leader s real asset. They are ones running the business and doing the work. A good leader understands their worth and treats them accordingly.

11 ATTRIBUTES OF A LEADER A coacher/mentor: Share your experience. A good leader shares their wisdom, knowledge and experience with the employees. They help employees perform better. This also strengthens the bond and the trust between them. Be Disciplined: If a leader is disciplined then only can she expect the people to be so. If a rule is worth having it should be worth following. The boss is an example Come on time, meet the time-lines, set a behavioral code if necessary.

12 ATTRIBUTES OF A LEADER Be an example: Be hands on Do not always delegate. The boss should take on projects and seen as a working member of the team. They may try picking up something less attractive or uninteresting and complete it without arrogance. This sets an example to all of the team about taking up challenges and about how every assignment is important. Be approachable: Employees should not hesitate in approaching their leader with their concerns and problems. A successful leader will make sure that there is enough trust and openness between them and their employees so they feel comfortable to bring their grievances forward.

13 ATTRIBUTES OF A LEADER Be considerate: People are not just employees. They have families, friends and a life beyond work. Unless there is something urgent, do not make them work beyond their usual hours. Let them have their weekends and vacations. Be practical when setting the time-lines. This in turn will improve the efficiency and the productivity of the employees. Positive attitude: Be polite. Wish employees good mornings and be generous in thanking them. Don t be afraid to show an interest in employees and ask about their leisure activities or hobbies outside of work.

14 ATTRIBUTES OF A LEADER Praise in Public Criticize Privately: Criticism should be done constructively: When mistakes happen a good supervisor tries and understands the reasons behind the mishap. They criticize or assess the employee in proportion to the mistake. Give constructive feedback; show them the right way to do things. When things go well employees should be thanked and praised while they are still sweating from their efforts.
