Leadership Skills Exercise: Help Others to Increase Their Self-Esteem
:: Article Rating :: Leadership, Exercises, Communication Skills, Motivation, Personal Impact, Emotional Intelligence, Giving Feedback

A leader’s performance is defined by how he or she leads others. For others to follow a leader, it is critical for them to know that they are valued. The sense of significance and knowing that what they do has a benefit to the overall objective is a significant motivation. Hence, leaders must actively and routinely take steps to show that they value their team members and that team members’ effort are well appreciated.

This exercise helps delegates to learn how to achieve this as leaders. It encourages specific actions on their behalf as opposed to vague strategies, so that they know precisely what to do for each member of their team.
