Leadership Competencies for Stage 2 Companies (11-19 employees)

Which of these Leadership Competencies do you possess?

A self-aware leader is a better leader.

Imagine that by simply increasing the level of staff satisfaction in your company, you could increase revenues. A study by Lyle Spencer found ‘for every 1% improvement in service climate, there’s a 2% increase in revenue.’ Take THAT to the bank!

These are the top 5 Leadership Competencies needed for Stage 2 Leaders

Emotional Self Awareness –
Leaders high in emotional self-awareness are attuned to their inner signals, recognizing how their feelings affect them and their own job performance.

Accurate self-assessment –
Leaders with high self-awareness typically know their limitations and strengths, and exhibit a sense of humor about themselves.

Initiative –
Leaders who have a sense of efficacy—that they have what it takes to control their own destiny—excel in initiative. They seize opportunities—or create them—rather than simply waiting.

Empathy –
Leaders with empathy are able to tune into a wide range of emotional signals, letting them sense the felt, but unspoken, emotions in a person or group.

Developing Others –
Leaders who are adept at cultivating people’s abilities show a genuine interest in those they are helping along, understanding their goals, strengths, and weaknesses.
