What turns a great team into a successful one? A fiercely good leader
One thing that every successful team has in common is solid leadership. A great leader is the key to unlocking each team member’s unique abilities.
However, healthy leadership doesn’t necessarily come in the guises we have grown to accept as a norm. On the contrary, in many ways a fiercely good leader isn’t fierce at all – tenacious, absolutely, but not fierce.
Authentic transparency
A fiercely good leader desires belief and trust for their team. Team members need to feel like nothing is hidden and such understanding often inspires investment from employees.
Infectious passion
Such a leader needs to be totally obsessed with what they do, only then can their enthusiasm spread to the rest of their team.
Open to new ideas
A great leader appreciates each team member’s personal skills so is able to adjust new ideas to suit their own vision for their business.
Unfettered positivity and laser focus
Finally, a fiercely good leader has unshakable focus and cultivates a culture of optimism. They are the drive for positivity and they are the source of buoyancy and creativity in their organisation.
