 SKILLS OF
TEAM LEADER
 1.Communication
A strong leader can clearly and concisely
communicate goals, tasks and other
organizational needs to their team. Leaders
should be masters in written and verbal
communication to ensure expectations are
presented to their employees in a way they can
understand. Being an effective communicator
also involves listening intently, speaking clearly,
understanding body language and being
conscious of your tone.
 2.Honesty
To lead effectively, a manager must be
able to earn their team’s trust. Great
leaders gain their employees’ respect
by being forthright with them. Even if
employees don’t like what a leader has
to say, they’ll likely appreciate
someone willing to tell them the truth.
 3.Relationship Building
Effective leaders can bring their team
closer together by encouraging
collaboration and facilitating healthy
working relationships between
employees. When team members trust
each other, they work better together
and are more productive. 
 4.Decisiveness
Leaders have to make crucial
decisions, sometimes with very little
time. Instead of relying on guesswork,
they weigh and understand their
options. They have confidence in the
choices they make and can
communicate why they made the
decision. 
 5. Innovation
Being a leader means having to find
ways to overcome many of the
obstacles they inevitably face in
business. A good leader takes an
innovative approach to problem-
solving by approaching these obstacles
from new and unconventional
perspectives. 
 6. Responsibility
Employees tend to respect a leader
who will take responsibility for both
the success and missteps of their team.
A good leader demonstrates
accountability, acknowledges when
mistakes have been made and then
finds solutions for improvement. 
 7. Motivation
A good leader should motivate their
employees and encourage productivity
and passion for the job. This includes
mentoring their employees,
recognizing accomplishments or
providing rewarding and challenging
work.

MOTIVATION IN LEADERSHIP
Anyone that’s in a leadership role
should understand how employees are
motivated, and what they can do as a
leader to keep them motivated. The
word is often defined as “getting
someone moving.” Theory breaks
down these forces into both internal or
intrinsic motivation, as well as
external or extrinsic motivation.
