Brooklynn Chandler Willy on How to Be a Better Leader in 2023

In the past, most individuals considered their work to be just their job. Whether or not they were enjoying what they were doing, the workers showed up at work and, put in the hours, then went home. Today's workforce is changing, with many demanding that their work be aligned with their values and beliefs. This has led to a shift in leadership, and here are the characteristics the workforce is looking for.

Concrete Vision

Today, leaders need to be clear about their vision and be able to communicate it to other people. This is a big challenge for many people. Only you can see the picture that's achieved. You should never assume your employees will see what you plan on doing. As a leader, you must also be able to communicate with your team members and the people around you about what you're trying to achieve. Your goal and purpose should be clear, and people should understand it.

Empathy

You must be able to understand and care for your staff members, who want to know that you are a person who genuinely cares about them. You need to strike this delicate balance while giving your team space and allowing them to grow.

Developing a Culture

People desire to be happy at work, and it's important to understand one's contribution to the organization's overall picture. Being satisfied with your current position comes from having a purpose and being able to like people. Developing a culture conducive to being happy at work can help make your team feel valued and included.

Promote Teamwork

You should encourage your team to work together to help each other. If possible, reward the efforts of the team. Things can get toxic when your work environment becomes competitive and employees only look for themselves. To prevent this, ensure that everybody knows they don't have to fight over recognition or rewards. There are plenty of resources for everyone, and getting there together can increase the chances of success.

Reflect Values

A culture that values the company's goals and what it stands for is also important to ensure that your organization is successful. By incorporating the company's philosophies and vision into your employees' daily lives, you can further help them understand what you're working toward.
