It is a tough time for leaders. After massive failures from high profile CEOs and chairmen, employees – and the public in general – are looking to see if leaders are worth their salaries. The call for good leadership has never been louder. The following two tips are timely advice for leaders.

Leadership is About Smart Growth

For too long, companies have focused on profit, products, and productivity. Growing smartly demands a better strategy. In this strategy, one must look beyond bottom lines and start investing in innovation and creativity. This creates true value for both the employees and the business. It means focusing on building meaningful connections with people. Leaders must also be able to think for themselves and not always take things at face value, as new realities mean the survival of the most adaptable, not the mightiest.

Leadership is About Teamwork and Positivity

Leaderships built on hierarchies supporting a visionary personality polarise employees into blind loyalists and jaded workers. The alternative is a leader with an initiative to be positive. To create a positive environment, employees must be given the truth about the state of the business and their role in the company. With the current climate calling for change, this is a great opportunity to challenge people to suggest improvements. Leaders must also make sure that their employees can look forward to a brighter future.
