Management Training Tip - Remove Barriers to Performance

Every organization is filled with projects and processes. Left untended these always become cumbersome and convoluted. This wastes your and your staff’s time and hurts everyone’s morale.

Management training rarely addresses this. But, those with the most effective team leadership styles take accountability for removing the barriers that block effective performance. There are many facets to meeting this responsibility.

One of these critical leadership qualities is collaboration

Start by asking your people what they need to do their work effectively and efficiently. Listen closely. Ask questions to clarify your understanding. Also, seek out the perspectives of people from outside of your department. Your objective is to gain broad and deep perspective on the circumstances that affect the issue you are dealing with.

This simple act of collaboration is one of the key components of a highly effective leadership style. Click here to search or article and newsletter archives for dozens more team leadership tips.
