Leadership is the most important part of a team or company. Without effective leadership, everyone will struggle to reach the goal. But what makes leadership effective? In this episode of 180 Mentoring, I discuss why I think Inspired Leadership is the most effective type of leadership and how you can lead in a way that inspires your team. Listen to this episode to hear my thoughts and tips.

Do you need to inspire the people you lead?

The idea of inspiring your team is not an uncommon idea in today’s leadership culture. Many people would argue that it’s not essential for a leader to be inspiring. What do you think?  Do we need to focus on it as much as people say we do?  Is it all it’s cracked up to be? I think the answers is YES. In this episode, I will explain why I think it is important to inspire those you are leading and how you can begin to do so in your team.

What is your definition of an Inspiring Leader?

You can’t be an inspiring leader unless you know what it is. What’s your definition of an Inspiring Leader? Everyone has their own definition and they all have merit. Depending on your definition your leadership will take on a different appearance. In this episode of 180 Mentoring, I’ll share my definition of an Inspiring Leader and how that definition can give you a clear picture of how you need to improve your leadership.

6 attributes of an Inspiring Leader

Every leader is different. We each lead in our own styles and with our own techniques. But there are a few key things that every inspiring leader must do to truly inspire their team. Join me in this episode of 180 Mentoring and I’ll outline my top 6 attributes of an effective leader.

It takes a team to build success

Regardless of how big of a role a leader plays in the success of the team, that success would have been impossible without each and every member. Behind each successful person stand many people who helped them get there.  As you work hard to build an inspiring environment for your team, make sure that you create a strong foundation for teamwork and mutual appreciation. If you can build your team to appreciate each member and bring out the best in them, you will see success beyond what you thought possible.
