Doyle-

GREAT Article!

I would add MENTORSHIP –

A good leader develops other leaders. There is no success without a successor.

The list elaborately encompasses the important points. What, however, can be added are:

HUMILITY as against ARROGANCE that gets reflected in bahaviour showing I KNOW ALL or I KNOW BETTER, which will block new idea.

ARDENT LISTENING will encourage the team members to ooze out all of one’s feedback or complaints or suggestions.

DEMONSTRABLE INTEGRITY has to be establihed. Preaching without practice will erode credibility… and it is important that people believe you will do when you say I will do.

I find it interesting that of the things mentioned in the original post and the subsequent comments, very few are “trainable” or learned skills. And I believe this is one of the reasons many new managers fail.

I think this is very true and everyone that is in management or aspires to become management needs to read and understand these rules or guidelines!!

I’ve found your ten principles very interesting and aplicable. Perhaps another big principle might be courtesy, because all the other coure moral principles whithout courtesy might have the rong influence to our teams: honesty without courtesy may be hard, valenty without courtesy may be rude, prudence without courtesy may be coward.

Doyle:

Here are two other principles that I believe should be included: 1) Effective Communication, and the 2)Desire to see people succeed.

Thanks,

Admit what you know, and ask for help learning what you don’t know. You can read more about this at my blog post :Your “gut” and “intuition” are not enough…today http://nosmokeandmirrors.wordpress.com/2009/02/13/youre-gut-and-intuition-are-not-enoughtoday/ .

Doyle,
Clear, simple, memorable!

You have taken us back to some of the key basics. Leaders, especially Managers can be drawn into the enormous and complex world of “How to Manage Others” losing sight of the real key principles for being an effective leader.

I agree with many of the comments posted here. There are other critical issues that leaders must deal with. Your list is a good start.

Thank you for the reminder!
