[NFB-Arkansas] Leadership Goals

[Cindy Scott-Huisman]

I came across these leadership ideas and wanted to share.

It's good to have goals for how we function as a team!


The premise that a team will be more productive when they are happier makes
intuitive sense.



Innovation:

Leaders’ openness to input and ideas.



Direct management:

clarity and truthfulness of communication.



Organizational effectiveness:

non-bureaucratic, efficient processes.



Engagement:

leadership that supports learning and growth.



Emotional connection:

a culture that fosters friendships among all involved.



Organizational alignment:

a good match between the organization’s external mission and its internal
culture.



Listen for concerns and learn new ideas:

Leaders should look for ways to get as much feedback as possible, and then
show they’ve really heard it and thought about how to use it.



Act and speak with clarity and truth:

As a general rule, people don’t appreciate doublespeak and confusion.
Always be frank and explicit about what people need to know for their roles
even if the truthful answer is “I don’t know what’s going to happen”.



Look for ways to support learning and develop team members:

The teammates you want to keep are the ones who love to learn new skills
and grow in ability. Look for ways to encourage that growth.



Live up to the organization’s external mission.



Whether you are a leader or serve another role, remember that no one is
perfect. Everyone will respect you more if you simply own your imperfect
human-ness from time to time.
