BAM Outsource on How to Become a Great Leader

March 29, 2012 - PRLog -- Get to know your team:

BAM Outsource feels that this is the most important thing that you can do. The better you understand what pushes their buttons, and what their strengths and weaknesses are, the better you’ll be able to adapt your leadership techniques to get the best out of them. Build a relationship with them that makes them feel like you are interested in them for more than simply getting their work done.



Learn from those who’ve been in your position before:

Finding someone who has  more experience than you is a great way to avoid mistakes and pitfalls that perhaps they made their first time round. You’ll be able to ask for advice when a new scenario comes up as well.  We all learn best from those who have more experience than us. Your leaders will have done the same and will be more than happy to help you and give you their time.



Learn when to push and when to back off:

Every leader knows the importance of pushing someone to get the most out of them. However far fewer know the subtlety of allowing someone to work at their own pace. Managing director of BAM Outsource, Ben Knowles says, “When people are learning something new there will be times when they need to be pushed to progress, and other times when they need to be allowed to consolidate what they’ve learnt. Knowing when to do which is an invaluable tool to learn and will serve you well throughout your career.”



Be a great example:

If you’re going to lead, and want others to follow, it’s important to be a shining example of what you them to be or do. Integrity is an essential part of being a leader believes BAM Outsource. You should never become someone who tells those on their team ‘do what I say, not what I do.’ People learn best through actions, so show them a great example and they’ll be far more likely to emulate it.
