what makes a efective team leader?

Question

what makes a person a good manager

Answer 1

Hello,

(ANS) A good or effective team leader (or any kind of leadership) is a skill, the skill is in always being able to maintain an overview of the situation or circumstances. A leader will draw information from all his/her team members in order to build or construct this overview picture.

**Building the overview can only be done by good communications with everyone within the group or team.

**Strategic choices can only be made by the leader once the overview has been gained or constructed. This is essentially what good management teams do in order to steer or direct a business forwards.

**Good managers have to be good listeners first & foremost.

**Must be open minded and NOT assume they know the answers before they have the overview.

**Have the skill and ability to bring the group together, to manage conflict within the team, & to reach a resolution to conflict. To learn the lessons that conflicts can bring.

**Hold or develop the teams trust in them.

**Always have the well being and welfare of their team members at heart, otherwise you wont be able to bring them along with you.

I could go on & on.
