8 mistakes that prevent effective leadership 

Lack of Trust ❌
One of the most effective leadership skills to have is trust. Establishing trust amongst your team is crucial for the quality of both relationships and communication. Trust is key.

Lack of recognition ❌
Not feeling professionally recognized has a rude impact on somebody’s life and career. Leaders should be able to see each team member’s value and the team itself.

Lack of support  ❌
Supporting, managing, and developing the team are also part of the role of a leader. Poor management happens when a leader doesn’t support or prioritize his team. Supporting with daily tasks; delegated activities; and at the individual level when needed.

Being unavailable and inaccessible ❌
Leaders who are not available and accessible are not strongly connected to their team members. Delegating doesn’t mean detachment. It implies being available while remaining connected to people. It means that a leader has established channels for people to reach them.

Not focusing on developing talent ❌
Very often leaders see themselves trapped by the pressure of performing and achieving the company’s goals. However, we shouldn’t forget about the most valuable resource within an organization: people. Employees want to expand their skills and knowledge. Learning is crucial for the achievement of results. Fostering learning helps people to develop and achieve more.

Lack of empowerment ❌
A leader who doesn’t empower his team might face trust problems. Leaders should be able to empower their teams both at the individual and collective levels.
Great leaders know putting faith in capable employees, trusting and delegating empowers them to further their ability, and contributes to their professional development.

Not giving regular feedback ❌
Some leaders fail to provide regular feedback to employees. The fact is that people achieve more if they are assured about the direction they are reaching. They will be able to deliver good performances if they know the truth about their effectiveness.

Lack of vision ❌
This kind of mistake happens more often than we’re aware of sometimes. It happens when the leaders fail to provide a vision to their team. As a leader, it’s crucial to set standards and goals while keeping each team member accountable.
