Dear Founders,

Your leadership team can make or break your company. To succeed, you need to build and maintain a cohesive leadership team.

So how do you hire the right leaders for the job?

In my experience, here are 5 habits of effective leaders. Look out for them.

To the degree that you and your team apply these five abilities, you will grow to the next level.

Let’s take a look at them one by one.

SIMPLIFY

The best leaders simplify the goal and roadmap for the team.

Simplifying means helping the team focus. Focus s achieved by stripping away unnecessary details and getting to the core of what needs to be done.

The best leaders can help you focus by simplifying the goal and roadmap for your team.

DELEGATE

A company is not built by one person. Unless leaders delegate they will soon become overworked and disillusioned.

However delegating is not a simple task.

Delegating involves identifying the best person for the job and empowering them with tools, information, and authority to get the job done.

Good delegation creates more leaders in your organization.

PREDICT

Prediction doesn’t mean telling the future like a fortune teller.

Prediction means being able to see where an industry or product is headed based on data, customer feedback, discussions, and projections.

The better the capability to predict, the more chances to get on the right track and/or pivot.

SYSTEMIZE

Companies don’t rise to the levels of their best employees, they fall to the level of their systems.

Systemising means turning a group of people into a machine that works toward a common goal through shared goals, rules, systems, and processes.

Great leaders understand this and set great, non-intrusive systems in place that create an environment of high productivity.

STRUCTURE

Great leaders can structure your organization’s hierarchy in a way that promotes

  • Accountability: Great hierarchies promote visibility and therefore accountability.

  • Growth (Individual and company): When companies need to grow, great structures allow quick expansion with minimum disruption.

Until next time,

Pramod George
