When the leader feel they have successfully motivated their followers to be both very confident an competent, and that the follower are ready to have the responsibility to lead themselves to their goal, then they know that at that point, the followers are ready to accept some leadership themselves. Once the followers are ready for some leadership of their own, the next problem at hand becomes how to go about empowering them with the leadership responsibilities. Needless to say, the leader cannot simply step away and allow the responsibility to drop onto the followers; surely if that happened, they would quickly lose confidence and possibly competence too. Instead, leadership and responsibility of the followers should be increased gradually as they are steadily empowered, and at a rate that depends on how well the newly gained leadership is handled.
Goals of a Leader.
As a leader many goals may be set to conquer. However, if a leader is completely successful in empowering his or her subjects and has sent them will off on their way to their ultimate goal, the leader must realize that he/she has completed his or her own.
Communication Style.
Communication is a two-way street. Not only is it important to present a clear, concise and persuasive message, but one must also be open to employer concerns and queries. The communication skills I currently use are listening skills, such as listening to a co-worker and understanding their needs and wants more carefully and responsively. Always acknowledging the feelings they are expressing. Compassionately allowing them to express their feelings. Listening and reflecting back on what I hear allows me to identify people's thoughts.
Explaining conversational intent and invite co-workers consent. In order to help a co-worker to cooperate and reduce any misunderstandings, invite them to join in the kind of conversation you want to have.
