The Challenge of Leading and Managing People for Results
Businesses often promote staff based on technical skills. However, leading people requires a totally different mindset. Without guidance, new managers may cause accidental conflicts. This leads to low morale and missed targets.
The transition from “doer” to “leader” is difficult. Staff must navigate complex emotions and personal agendas. A lack of training creates a chaotic workplace. This hurts productivity and increases employee turnover rates.
Many Malaysian leaders struggle with “Power Distance” issues. They may rely too heavily on strict authority. This approach often alienates younger Gen Y and Z talent.
How to Build Effective Leaders
- Understand Team Personalities
Leaders must know who they are leading. Use the OCEAN model to assess personality traits. This helps managers adapt their style to individuals.
- Set Clear SMART Goals
Instructions that are not specific, lead to poor team performance. Managers must learn to set SMART goals for clarity. This ensures everyone knows exactly what to achieve.
- Apply Situational Based Leadership
One leadership style does not fit every situation. Managers should adjust between directing and delegating. This depends on the competence of the employee.
- Develop Emotional Intelligence
Leaders must recognize their own emotional triggers. High EQ builds trust and reduces workplace conflict. It allows for better handling of team stress.
- Coach for Performance
Use the GROW model to guide team improvements. This moves the focus from blaming to solving. It empowers employees to find their own solutions.
