Have you ever asked yourself if you’re the leader your team truly deserves?

In a world where leadership can make or break a team, it’s crucial to reflect on your leadership style and its impact.

A study by Gallup found that 70% of the variance in team engagement is determined solely by the manager. So, are you stepping up to the plate?

Being a great leader isn’t just about having a title; it’s about earning the respect and trust of your team.

Here are three tips to help you become the leader your team deserves.

1. Lead by Example

Your actions speak louder than words. If you want your team to work hard, be honest, and stay committed, you need to do the same.

According to a survey by the Society for Human Resource Management, 55% of workers say that having a leader they can trust and rely on is crucial to their job satisfaction.

Tip: Show up on time, keep your promises, and work alongside your team. When they see you walking the talk, they’ll be more likely to follow your lead.

2. Show Genuine Interest in Your Team's Growth

If you’re only focused on your own success, you’re missing the point of leadership. A true leader invests in their team’s development.

Tip: Take the time to understand your team members' goals and aspirations. Offer training opportunities, mentorship, and support to help them reach their potential. When you show that you care about their growth, they’ll be more engaged and loyal.

3. Provide Constructive Feedback Regularly

Feedback is essential for growth, but it needs to be constructive. The Harvard Business Review reports that 72% of employees feel their performance would improve if their managers provided corrective feedback.

Tip: Don’t wait for annual reviews to give feedback. Make it a regular part of your interactions. Be specific, focus on behaviors that can be changed, and offer solutions.

Remember, the goal is to help your team improve, not to tear them down.

Being the leader your team deserves requires continuous effort and self-reflection.

By leading by example, showing genuine interest in your team’s growth, and providing constructive feedback, you can build a team that’s motivated, loyal, and high-performing.

Ask yourself daily: Are you the leader your team deserves?

Step up, take action, and watch your team thrive.

The journey to becoming a great leader starts now.

Let’s make it happen.

It’s time to LEAD.
