| Title: Observations of Dominant Behaviors and Habits of an Effective Leader | |
| Abstract:
Leadership behavior is at the center of organization performance. Organizations dedicate significant resources to develop leaders so that work teams will achieve organization goals. Theories abound about the traits, characteristics and behaviors that make for the best leaders. Since team members and others who work closely with leaders are in a good position to know the answers, I asked these employees what type of leader and which leader behaviors influence them to do the work and stay connected with the organization. The research identified numerous behaviors and habits that facilitate communication, trust, respect, working relationships, and positive performance. These findings are arranged in two guides, each with an array of behaviors. One guide is for building leadership character and the other is for influencing connection conversations. Both guides are beneficial to leaders as they engage their team to achieve organization goals. A leadership workshop is forthcoming that focuses on applying the guides along with tools for leaders to connect with teams and achieve individual and organization performance goals. Key Words: Connections, Respect, Trust, Leader, Behavior, Habits, Willingness, Character, Compassion., Performance. | |
