The Leadership Toolkit for Anyone

Although many of us do not have the title of leader, we all have responsibilities that may require leadership. Whether we are the lead on a team, committee, department, household, activity, or organization, a few things remain the same. We need other people to buy in to the goal/objective, to participate and stay committed, and to take action until the goal is accomplished.

Many ingredients go into being an effective leader, and sometimes it takes years of experience and training. However, we can always utilize the skills that most of us draw on in our day-to-day lives that we take for granted and don’t associate with leadership. When we’re in the middle of hard times or under stress with fewer resources we may forget some of the things we can do to make us—and the people we lead—more effective.

Here are the beginnings of a Leadership Toolkit.

What To Do

Ways To Do It

1. Engage
Ask for people’s opinion, use consensus decision- making, frequently check in with stakeholders, explain benefits, convey a vision

2. Support
Ask what help is needed, don’t judge, advise when asked, teach or train, take on some of their tasks if appropriate, listen and empathize, respect other views

3. Act
Do what you said you would do when you said you would do it, define tasks clearly, implement new and innovative ideas, take responsibility for your actions

4. Communicate
Be truthful, provide rationale for decisions, be clear about expectations and roles, use the right method for the message
5. Learn
Be open to a variety of perspectives, allow for mistakes, look for the lesson in the situation, gain new skills, cultivate self-awareness

6. Focus
Set priorities, manage expectations, know what has meaning, plan for the future

This list is just a starting place. Please add your own ideas and grow the list!
