The "Fundamental 4" core leadership skills are:
Self-Awareness
Communication
Influence
Learning Agility
self-awareness
Simply put, knowing and leading yourself is key to becoming as effective as
possible at leading others.
But gaining greater self-awareness is anything but simple. It takes intentional effort
to assess your natural abilities and development opportunities; determine how to
maximize your strengths and compensate for your weaknesses; and recognize your
own values, biases, and perspectives.
Taking the time to reflect on these things and consider how you’ve been shaped by
your background and social identity builds greater self-awareness. And ultimately,
greater awareness about yourself as a person will make you a better leader.
communication
Communication is one of the most basic, across-the-board leadership skills that all
of us need to develop and refine during our careers.
“Communicating information and ideas” is consistently rated among the most
important leadership competencies for leaders to be successful. Communication is
also embedded in several other core leadership skills, including “leading
,employees,” “participative management,” and “building and mending
relationships.”
Writing clearly, speaking with clarity, and active listening are all part of the
communication equation. As you move up the career ladder, communication in
leadership roles expands to behaviors such as encouraging discussion, building
trust, conveying vision and strategic intent, and pulling people along with you. At
every leader level, communication is a critically important skill.
influence
Developing your influencing and leadership skills helps you to communicate your
vision and goals, align the efforts of others, and build commitment from people at
all levels.
Influence can vary greatly at different levels in the organization. Knowing your
stakeholders, or audience, is key. Do you need to influence your boss? Your peers?
Direct reports? Customers? Each stakeholder has special concerns and issues, so
consider the most appropriate ways of influencing people for your particular
situation.
Early in your career, or in individual contributor roles, influence is about working
effectively with people over whom you have no authority. It requires being able to
present logical and compelling arguments and engaging in give-and-take. Later on,
or in more senior-level or executive roles, influential leadership skills are focused
more on steering long-range objectives, inspiration, and motivation. But throughout
your career, influence remains a core leadership skill. Ultimately, influence allows
you to get to the business of getting things done and achieving desirable outcomes.
learning agility
To develop as leaders and as people, we need to be active, agile learners.
Leaders need to be in a mode of constant learning, valuing and seeking out
experiences to fuel leadership development, and recognizing when new behaviors,
leadership skills, or attitudes are required — and accepting responsibility for
developing those.
,Learning agility is critical for career longevity, and it involves learning from
mistakes, asking insightful questions, and being open to feedback. It also includes
learning new skills quickly, taking advantage of opportunities to learn and heat
experiences, and responding well to new situations.
For senior leaders, learning agility is also about inspiring learning in others and
creating a culture of learning throughout the organization.
What Makes an Effective Leader
Effective leaders have the ability to communicate well, motivate their team, handle
and delegate responsibilities, listen to feedback, and have the flexibility to solve
problems in an ever-changing workplace.
