Basic Management Leadership Development Strategies

By Ann Perry


At the onset, a company wants its employees to grow, from being rank and file workers to eventual managers and leaders who can lead the next set of potential newbies. In order to do that though, the existing managers must know how to teach the potential leaders. That is where management leadership development strategies would come in.

One thing to take note of is that not all managers are leaders. Leaders actually have very specific traits that allow them to really reach out to the people under them and get them to become leaders themselves. With the right tricks, managers can also become leaders that can push the employees to do better in their job.

Take note that training and leadership education is extremely important in this case. Managers, aside from doing their usual tasks, must also come up with ways to train the people under them to do better in their job and to exhibit some traits of good leaders. This can be done through a solid and structured training program.

Now, one very important concept of creating a training program is structure. If one would want his or her employees to follow his or her training, he or she has to make the training as comprehensive and as structured as possible. It is also through proper structure that the manager will be able to weed out the leader material from those who are not leader material.

With that in mind, the training program has to be geared toward teamwork, initiative and problem solving. Principles on teamwork are essential to get things done since everyone has to collaborate together to do tasks. For initiative, employees have to be given tips and tricks on how to go the extra mile for the company the proper way in order to see good results.

Take note that leaders are problem solvers who do not focus too much on the problem but rather the most viable solution that can be implemented right away. While a manager focuses on just the task at hand, the leader gets things done. So a manager that is a leader solves problems of the task at hand in the swiftest and most efficient way possible.

That said, young leader managers must be taught how to solve problems quickly. The best way to do that would be to group the problem into chunks and solve each chunk individually. Once that is done, one should look at the problem as a whole and see what things should be avoided in the future to prevent the same problem from happening.

For those who are leader managers and are in charge of mentoring young potential leaders, here are some tips that can help. Now, some managers may ask why it is important to mentor people under them instead of just letting them follow their job description. Well, if one would really think of the welfare of the company, then it is better to have long lasting and empowered employees who are competent and can carry the company forward.
