Habits and Qualities That Prominent Leaders Should Have

Emotional leadership is an issue that has piqued the interest of many organizations in recent years. However, during the health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become even more relevant. That is why, according to CEUPE Magazine, the leader in the development of its functions within the organization and as a tool for achieving the objectives set, it must adopt four types of behavior as a form of involvement in the organization's system, these are as follows:

1. Monitoring

This type of behavior appears when the goals set are not being achieved, so the leader must be able to redefine the goals to make them more affordable and realistic, redefine the problem, clarify confusing situations, and provide ideas.

2. Delegation

This type of behavior arises when the goals were perfectly understood, internalized, and committed by all members of the group. That's when the role of the leader is basically to motivate and reduce tensions or differences, reducing steering levels.

3. Advice

This type of behavior arises in the completion of the objectives. That's when the leader's main functions become: motivate, support, and evaluate the effectiveness of the group.

4. Control

As in monitoring, this type of behavior requires high levels of steering and low support. In control, the group is very dependent on the leader, assuming this among its main tasks those of admitting errors, redefining the work, identifying what has been achieved up to that point, and setting new goals.

On the other hand, the heart of leadership is to serve others first, without oneself. Now, the problem is that most organizations operate from a hierarchical leadership structure. Leaders scale positions in an organization and see themselves above their team. Despite the popularity of this trend, most people do not relate leadership to service. Instead of representing humility, influence, and reaching the ground where people meet, most leaders think that being a leader means power and authority, according to the John Maxwell Team Web Portal.
