Some approaches to leadership training and development focus on examples of notable figures. At Excelformação, we approach leadership differently..
We prefer authentic leadership., Based on each person's story. You don't need to be like anyone else, because each of us is an original and there is no such thing as a perfect copy.
Can we learn from other stories? Of course we can! But the essential thing is that each leader transforms their own story into a useful metaphor for their followers.
Authentic leadership is a a fundamental element for the motivation and effective performance of a team..
When leadership succeeds inspire a work team, It creates the perfect environment for growth, innovation, and extraordinary achievements.
We recommend that authentic leadership base its existence on the following 5 pillars:
1 – Defining the team's DNA
Authentic leadership defines with its team what the fundamentals of its performance. The leader can and should build this purpose with those they lead. Authentic leadership is based neither on the omnipresence nor the omniscience of the leader. This allows the team to understand the... purpose of your work And how it fits into their DNA. When everyone shares a common goal, they become more motivated to achieve it.
2 – Example
Authentic leaders are behavioral models. They demonstrate ethics, respect, integrity, consistency, fairness, and passion for what they do. Authentic leadership provides the “"body to the bullets"” and it doesn't leave its team exposed to vulnerabilities. These are the examples that influence the team and encourage the adoption of these values.
3 – Effective communication and a trusting environment
Authentic leaders communicate clearly and openly, listen attentively, and demonstrate empathy. This strengthens relationships with team members and helps in... anticipation and resolution of conflicts. Authentic leaders build and maintain a trusting environment, where team members feel safe to express their ideas and concerns.
4 – Development, training and execution
Authentic leadership focuses on developing your team, giving them the autonomy to seek solutions and make decisions. Encourage innovation And the willingness to take calculated risks is absolutely crucial.
5- Recognition and appreciation
Praise is much more than a pat on the back. It's about acknowledging what was done well, because that's essential. The behavior is repeated.. Authentic leaders don't hesitate to praise and value their team's contributions. This motivates and creates a culture of excellence.
Can you learn from Churchill's leadership? Of course you can! But don't try to be like him, especially since it's said that the life he led wasn't very healthy.
