Developing leadership is a lengthy process that demands work experience and people-handling skills. Many individuals in leadership positions lack the necessary competence to perform their roles effectively, but all hope is not lost.
To add context, a study conducted by Gallup with over 2.5 million managers worldwide concluded that 70% of these individuals are not prepared to take on leadership roles, resulting in a loss of over $300 billion for the global economy.
In the video below, from the YouTube channel ‘TED,’ a channel that features the best TED Conferences by the world’s greatest thinkers, we see Simon Sinek, a British-American author, presenting a simple yet powerful model of leadership.
A true leader understands that some of the mistakes made by the team are their responsibility.
After all, their role is to ensure there are no communication gaps within the team and that all team members feel comfortable asking for help when needed.
By ensuring this scenario, a leader naturally promotes an environment where mistakes occur less frequently.
