What area do you usually work in?
Being a good leader is not an easy task. It requires a combination of skills, qualities and characteristics that are essential for leading a group of people towards a common goal. A good leader is someone who inspires, motivates and guides their team to success. In this article, we will explore the qualities it takes to be a good leader and how to develop them.
Communication Skills Effective communication is one of the most important qualities a leader should possess. It involves the ability to convey ideas, goals, and expectations clearly and concisely. A good leader should be a skilled listener, able to understand the concerns and needs of their team members. They should also be able to provide constructive feedback to their team members, both individually and collectively.
Visionary A good leader has a clear vision for the future. They are able to articulate a compelling vision that inspires and motivates their team to work towards a common goal. This vision should be realistic, attainable and aligned with the values of the organization.
Integrity Integrity is the foundation of good leadership. A leader should be honest, transparent, and accountable. They should lead by example and demonstrate ethical behavior at all times. A good leader should prioritize the interests of the organization and its team members above their own.
Empathy Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. A good leader should be able to empathize with their team members and understand their concerns and needs. This helps to build trust and foster a positive work culture.
Decision-making skills Leaders are often required to make tough decisions. A good leader should be able to make timely and informed decisions that are in the best interests of the organization. They should be able to analyze information, consider different perspectives, and weigh the pros and cons of different options.

How Important is Hierarchy in the Workplace?
Hierarchy creates authority and unity An employee's level of authority is greater the higher they are in the hierarchical structure. Wherever leadership is required, authority is also needed. Authority ensures that everyone under a manager's command will work towards the organisation's goals — or face discipline.
Most organizations have a similar hierarchy structure…the pyramid-like organisation of a small leadership team at the top, many employees at the base, and others at various levels in the middle, still prevails.
How is your workplace/job structured? Is there a different layout for leadership? Is hierarchy important in the workplace? #Leadership #Management #Hierarchy #Team
I provided sales and operational leadership over multi-site locations throughout my work history. My ambition is to play a key role in contributing to the on-going success and continuation of a business enterprise committed to serving market needs at or beyond market expectation.
I enjoy building and growing sales momentum by (1) investing time to understand buyer's challenges and needs, (2) transferring knowledge and solutions that meet the buying audience right where they are, and (3) delivering consistent quality products and service to develop a loyal fan base and repeat business.
I'm a credible leader with a strong track record and I have a lot more in my tank to offer. #leadership #intergrity #accountability
First of all, everyone hates being a tattle-tale. However, I do hold myself to a high standard, and encourage those around me to do the same. And yet, I have an active sense of humor and like to have fun at work and maintain rapport among my coworkers! The workplace can really test these contradictions inside ourselves.
That being said, I instinctively know when a coworker or employee has gone too far—or hasn't gone far enough, so to speak! Examples include seeing a coworker being rude to a customer or just neglecting their duties. Of course, these actions can affect everyone involved.
Whether from a leadership role, or among coworkers, how do you confront bad behavior? Specific examples?
Lead by example if you’re a supervisor and let your team know that you expect them to put in as much effort as you do and that you’ll do the same for them. If it’s a coworker? Mind your own job. If supervisors or management have an issue, they will address it. Believe me, you’re not more observant than they are, especially if you work for a decent company. Being a tattletale or a snitch brings down morale and you become as much of a problem as the person slacking.
Example about the younger girl 👧.
Quantifying resume bullet points with numbers that accurately reflect a person’s achievements often lends more credibility to the resume. Results-focused employers often love to see these details, which help candidates stand out.
A resume must accomplish much within a relatively small amount of space. The best resumes showcase a candidate’s abilities, experience and education — often within the constraints of one to two well-formatted pages.
When a person writes their resume, they initially may think about each section in terms of paragraphs that describe their previous jobs. But paragraphs are not the best option for this. A resume’s primary function is to highlight a person’s experience in short, punchy ways. That means bullet points.
But there is more to writing bullet points on a resume than simply listing job duties. Job descriptions have their place as a starting point, but they should rarely be the result. Instead of focusing on what a person did at their job, they should focus on what they accomplished. And if those accomplishments tie back to key performance indicators (KPIs), even better.
What Does it Mean to "Quantify" Your Resume?
Quantifying the bullet points on a resume means linking numbers to each item, job duty or accomplishment. Quantifying a resume may look different depending on the job type and the field.
Strong bullet points on a resume help a person stand out. They reduce visual clutter and allow a recruiter or hiring manager to scan for relevant information. Adding details such as metrics and numbers to a resume’s bullets speaks to applicant skills. It also shows how those skills impacted the business.
How can someone think about bullet points as the primary mode of conveying information? Use this basic formula that helps streamline the process:
Start each bullet with a strong action verb.Add a brief statement of the task. This is not the central focus of the bullet point, but it can help quantify the result.Share results, such as timelines or dates for task completion. What was the outcome of the work? How did it affect the business?
While the right action verb and task description help describe job duties, the third item on the list, the impact, is what can take a bullet point from just good to competitive.
An Example of Strong vs. Weak Quantified Resume Bullets
Some applicants use the P.A.R. (Problem, Action, Result) framework to look at resume bullets. This method of writing makes specific connections between problems a person solved during their time in a role. For any given bullet point, ask the following questions:
What do these robust and quantified resume bullets look like in practice, and how do they compare with weak ones? Some examples:
• Wrote and published articles for the company’s marketing blog • Responsible for organizing events and panels • Scheduled appointments with leads for the sales team
None of the above bullet points feel particularly inspiring, even if they adequately describe a person’s duties at previous jobs. What if we took a few minutes to provide more detail and quantify the results?
Strong Bullet Points:
• Published 10-15 pieces of detailed, sales-focused content each month for Pulse, the company marketing blog. Increased readership by 45% YOY. • Planned two four-day-long annual user conferences, including keynote speakers, panel discussions, breakout sessions, networking events and nightly entertainment. • Identified and contacted 45 new leads for the sales team each month, setting an average of five appointments per week. These new business calls led to a 32 percent increase in revenue YOY.
When quantifying bullet points on a resume, the chief rule is always to prepare to speak further to each one in an interview setting. If someone says they raised conversion rates or drove additional revenue, for example, they should be able to speak to the processes behind it.
Choosing bullet points that sound impressive but do not accurately reflect their experience has sunk many candidates’ chances for a job. Focusing on the quantifiable bullet points they can back up is where success happens.
• Using bullet points on resumes helps narrow the focus to each job's essential accomplishments. • Use numbers to help add credibility to bullet points and show results. • Prepare to add context to any bullet points, including speaking to them intelligently during interviews. • Specific details will always beat vague, basic job descriptions.
A “tag” question walked into a bar, didn’t she?
I don’t know. No one paid attention to her!
♦️Tag questions occur when we add a question to the end of a declarative sentence.
♦️If we want to project confidence/personal authority and expect others to listen to us, avoiding tag questions is key.
Consider this 🤔:
I was about to present at an international conference in Buenos Aires.
500 attendees took seats toward the rear of the auditorium leaving the first several rows empty.
(I find it disconcerting to speak to empty rows of seats🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑 right in front of me.)
“Please move up and fill in the front rows, alright?” I begged.
To my dismay, NO ONE MOVED. Yikes. 😳 Now what do I do?
“That did not work out well. Let me rephrase,” I said humorously after recovering my poise. “I’ll begin when the front rows are filled in. Move up!”
Approximately 50 people moved up to the front. I took that as a win. 🙌
Let’s maximize our impact with assertive communication:
❌ It’s already 9:05 A.M. We should start the meeting, shouldn’t we?
❌ We have a lot to cover today so we’ll take a one hour lunch break, O.K?”
By saying, “shouldn’t we?” and “O.K?” I told my team I’m unsure of myself and my position.
I diminished my credibility. Why not maximize it?
✔️ It’s 9:05 A.M. Let’s start the meeting.
✔️ We have a lot to discuss. We’ll take a one hour lunch break.
Eliminating tag questions may take practice. It’s worth it. You will sound more assertive and confident.
