It’s an open secret: leadership is an art.
As trailblazer, you’re not just responsible for making tough decisions. You also have to be able to help others overcome problems.
Our experience has shown that organizations with good teamwork and engaged employees tend to have leaders who are highly rated by their teams.
We celebrated all your hard work in 2022 with our Star of HR song. Haven’t heard it yet?
Great leaders listen and lead by example
The cycle of feedback and action that Effectory empowers organizations worldwide to undertake helps individual teams and managers find and address weaknesses in their leadership approach.
That’s because leadership isn’t telling people what to do – it’s about fostering an environment where people have the right tools and support to succeed and feel confident with their management. You shouldn’t just call the shots – you need to listen, too. This reminds us of Benjamin Disraeli’s quote, “I must follow the people. Am I not their leader?”
Here are some of Effectory’s findings that we hope will inspire you to reflect on your organization’s approach to leadership and employee listening.
