Leadership revisited.

I had a good session with my manager this week who has provided me with some good models to work within. 

Allocating tasks and action plans:

RACI - Who's responsible? Who's accountable? Who needs to be consulted? Who needs to be informed? 

Helping to prioritise team leaders roles / tasks 

 Review of book: Strengths-Based Leadership

Presents Followers' 4 basic needs

Trust, Compassion, Stability & Hope

Therefore as leaders we need to meet that need by making sure the work we do is work that matters and work that can build trust, show compassion, provide stability and /or create hope.  

The other 7 factors introduced to me when making decisions for the team are:

1. Is this a compelling case?

2. Do I have a clear vision?

3. Is there a defined plan?

4. Do we have adequate resources?

5. Does the team of the capabilities and capacity?

6. Is there sufficient motivation?

7. What is the feedback and communication needed/expected?

So now I need to take these models and start using them everyday to see if they fit me and my leadership style.

This was timely as I have a uni seminar to present in a month and I hate public speaking.
