3 Simple Ways To Inspire Those You Lead In 2023

Leader behavior makes all the difference in team performance.

The textbook on Sales Leadership: Strategy and Performance advocates for nine behaviors of exceptional leaders. Here is a simple way leaders can implement two of those behaviors and elevate team performance in 2023.

The two behaviors are:

Leaders Inspire and Motivate and

Leaders Teach

 

Following three simple steps will help members of your team to be more engaged and reach higher levels of achievement.

                          1. Encourage a goal orientation.
                          2. Teach the principles of goal setting and achieving
                          3. Follow-up.

You can motivate and inspire a goal orientation in your team by your words and your deeds. Encourage team members to set personal as well as work-related goals. Help them to capture a vision of personal and professional growth. Share your own goal-setting experiences and successes.

You can use the resources for goal setting and achieving to prepare your own teaching/coaching lessons on goal setting and achieving or you can share the link with team members in advance of a group discussion. Either way, you are teaching and that is a key behavior of exceptional leaders.

Follow-up is both instructional and motivating.

Tawe an even more effective leader.
