As a leader, we face many unexpected issues every day. One of the ways to help navigate through all the chaos is to be prepared for the things that are planned. One of the first things to remember is that you are not the only one on your team. Have daily meetings with your team to be sure everyone is up to date on the days activities. Make sure to give clear direction so there are no questions later when you are unavailable. A prepared team is an effective team. One way to promote leadership with in an organization is to let others champion tasks. This allows you to tackle some of the unexpected issues.
Invest in your team by teaching them what is expected and then allowing them to lead for themselves. By using your team and building your team, you are creating a team of leaders. This is useful when unexpected issues arise and you can not be everywhere. A team that has been invested in and is confident in leading can step in and take charge in your absence. By building, investing and coaching your team, you will see that the team will feel appreciated. Once they feel appreciated they will go above and beyond for their leader. They will be loyal to you and the company.
