Leadership skills improve workplace efficiency

By Henry Runter


To run or operate a business in an effective manner, it is important that all managers possess excellent leadership and management skills. While some people are born with these, others can learn through effective leadership training courses. All leadership training programmes are not very effective - in this article, various options of developing leadership skills are discussed.

Before commencing with a leadership training session, it is important to assess the current level of leadership your managers possess. You can arrange a meeting or circulate a memo to get feedback from your managers regarding the level of leadership that is present in the workplace and the specific improvements they would be interested in. This will be great for making comparisons months later, after the leadership training programmes have been implemented.

One option for improving leadership skills of your managers is to hand them each a book to read all about attaining different styles of leadership. While this method might be effective for some, others might struggle through understanding all concepts - and some might not even read the book at all!

The next option available is to get your employees to undertake their own research online to find out how they can make an improvement on their leadership qualities. With hundreds of thousands - perhaps even millions - of articles and content on the internet about leadership and management skills, your employees will be able to read and learn a variety of different tips, skills and advice. However, again this may not be effective as this involves your employees finding the time to do the research, and then actually learning it and taking it in. Also, just like a leadership skills book, your employee may have particular methods in mind that they cannot find the answers to by reading a book.

The final - and probably most effective - option available to developing and improving leadership skills is to hire a professional business coach. Business coaches generally specialise in a variety of business improvement programmes, such as team building exercises, management development, performance management and other areas. By getting your employees to take part in a leadership skills programme, they have a much higher change of taking in the information and performing it every day in the workplace (as many people learn more from verbal and physical methods as oppose to visual methods like books).

As business coaches have a lot of experience and training in developing leadership skills, they will be able to provide your employees with all necessary tasks and information that they will be able to use in their everyday life. As these leadership development programmes are taught in person, your employees also have the option to ask questions about anything they are not sure of.

So, whether you are the owner of a factory, office or retail shop, invest in a good leadership skills programme to improve efficiency and work ethics at work. You will be amazed at the level of improvement in the productivity at the workplace!
