THE ROLE OF THE LEADER

What is your role? How can you help your team to achieve their goals?

When you are assigned to the role of a leader, like a team leader, a project manager, a department head, or the head of a business, you might not be aware how significant the change actually is.
As a new leader, you have to go through a significant change in perspective. You have to change your perspective away from your focus on the tasks to the perspective of a leader.

Get orientation about your role first, so that you know how a leader can help the team.

The Leaders Success Compass™

Its Four Sides® of Leadership consists of a framework of models and tools. These are dedicated at the four key situations that a leader is faced in their daily work with their team. Communicating the path and the goals for the team, deciding on the priorities of their organisation, developing people to take action and following up on the progress and achievements.
This is summarized in the Leader’s Success Compass™. The Leader’s Success Compass™ gives the leader orientation when taking their team on the journey from where they are today, getting together as a group, to where they need to be in the future, delivering according to the expectations and reaching the goal.

This is summarized in the Leader’s Success Compass™. The Leader’s Success Compass™ gives the leader the exact position, explaining where the leader is and where the team is on their journey to success.

Take a look at the four sides of the Leader’s Success Compass™. Decide for yourself what your preferred position is and which position you need to develop more.

1. The NORTH, Agree on the common direction or path forward
2. The EAST, Organise the group and decide on the team’s priorities
3. The SOUTH, Develop the people to act in line with the priorities
4. The WEST,  Follow up on the progress and past achievements
