Social Skills

Refining a leader’s social skills enable them to be an excellent communicator, negotiator, team member and more.

Empathy

Executives are only as effective as their team and being able to understand another person’s emotions through empathy helps to build stronger interpersonal relationships and allows executives to lead while being sensitive to other employees.

Self-Awareness

Learning to be self-aware allows an executive to regulate and understand their feelings instead of blindly continuing old habits. Being self-aware also helps an executive extend their horizons and open up to new perspectives making them more empathetic.

Increased Cognition

Gaining perspective, empathy, self-awareness, or any other skill on this list will reveal more than just the superficial or obvious and by pushing the boundaries of your mind, you are stretching and strengthening your overall cognitive abilities.

Build Relationships

A great leader should know and have a connection with every team member regardless of background, religion, gender, or any other factor. Having a relationship with the team you lead lets you recognize when a team member is struggling or is hungry for more. Having a relationship with the people you lead lets the team feel like a family rather than a disjointed group of individuals.

Motivation

Motivation is also momentum-based; completing one task gives you a motivational boost to begin another task and push through the long work hours. Self-awareness produces intrinsic motivation to do better creating a cycle of overall self-improvement and when an executive is motivated to grow, that infectious motivation spreads throughout an organization generating a better workplace.

Improved Leadership

Leadership is about solving problems in an empathetic, sensitive, emotionally intelligent, and understanding way so that when subordinates have a problem, they are confident their leader can find a solution and feel they honestly care about the situation.
