In this new world full of millennial people and millennial approaches, every business leader and entrepreneur should aspire to nurture their talents when it comes to being an effective leader. If you think about it, there will always be one special boss in your career who remains unforgotten because of their performance as a leader. Although it can be a subjective topic, here is Forbes' guide on how to become a memorable leader:
1. Create relationships
Great leaders are those who provide opportunities and personal growth assignments for their employees and protégés that go far beyond conventional training prgrams or the scope of their offered services.
2. Measure by relationships and competitiveness
Martin Zwilling of Forbes wrote that good connections and team building are keys to success. It should be an environment where relationship building is as important as gaining knowledge and power along the process. Business leaders who are the perfect role models understand the meaning of peer relationship.
3.Encourage your workers to keep on moving on to new opportunities
The best leaders don't respond with anger or resentment when one of their employees decides to leave for a greener pasture. They know how the corporate world works, and one must go where they think they'll experience an even better growth.
4. Adapt the job or organization to fit the talent
Capitalizing on individual strengths always show great results. Twitter and GrubHub are the main examples of this - for they have made CFO's absorb COO responsibilities, too.
5. Take risks on unconventional talents
This is kind of a win-win approach, because apart from being able to delve into something different, you're also helping the employees discover something about themselves.
6. Always search for new sources of talent
The best business leaders don't wait for a spot to open before they decide to look for a person to fill it. They are always on alert for possible new and great employees.
7. Willing and able to hire right off the bat
A great business leader recognizes exceptional talent upon seeing one.
8. Accept high talent turn over as a reason to celebrate
Great and effective bosses capitalize on new and fresh perspectives.
