Mahatma Gandhi Successful leaders create more leaders. Every leader has certain goals, plans, responsibilities and jobs. And undoubtedly a successful leader achieves these, not by acting alone, but by utilizing the skills and resources of his teams and also by thinking it as one group activity. Once potential leaders are identified, a successful leader may encourage them and invite their cooperation to achieve his tasks and responsibilities. Successful leaders know their talent pool and know how to convert it into actions. They are experts at activating the capabilities of their colleagues and knowing when to deploy their unique skill sets for the purpose after the job at hand. Identifying and grooming of the future leader needs a strong strategy. Here are some important actions that one should take to develop leadership in a systematic process.
· EXPOSE: At the beginning, make your potential team members familiar with your objectives, aims and strategies. Invite them to share their ideas with you. Let them assure that their vision is properly translated and actions are properly executed. With developing confidence, create interest in them, as you have in your work.
· SHARE: Channelize and merge the thought process of your junior leaders into yours. In order to achieve this explain them in detail about the reason behind it.
· LEND AN EAR: Have patience to listen to your juniors, to their suggestions. Understand their thought process and try to estimate their skills and interests.
· ENCOURAGE: As a group leader you should encourage and help your juniors to achieve their goals. In order to materialize most of the opportunities given to them give them some rewards at every interval.
· LEARN: Learning is a never-ending continuous process. Be prepared to learn from others, take their inputs and give them due considerations, especially from your potential juniors. Learning supplies us confidence to do better. It translates into passion for the causes we work.
· USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA: At last but not the least social media [like Face book, You Tube, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus etc.] are other parts of learning. It is an outside the classroom way of learning tool. It gives an opportunity to engage learners in an informal way to learn from each other which must be utilized by a leader.
