Good evening everyone.. today I would like to share with you guys about some of the leadership skills that a leader should have.
SEVEN LEADERSHIP SOFT SKILLS
1. COMMUNICATION
As a leader, you need to be able to clearly and succinctly explain to your employees everything from organizational goals to specific tasks. Leaders must master all forms of communication, including one-on-one, departmental, and full-staff conversation as well as communication via the phone, email and social media. A large part of communication involves listening. Therefore, leaders should establish a steady flow of communication between themselves and their staff or team members either through an open-door policy or regular conversations with workers. Leaders should make themselves regularly available to discuss issues and concern with employees.
2. MOTIVATION
Leaders need to inspire their workers to go to the extra mile for their organization; just paying a fair salary to employees is typically not enough inspiration. There are a number of ways to motivate your workers: you may build employee self-esteem through recognition and rewards, or by giving employees new responsibilities to increase their investment in the company. You must learn what ,motivators work best for your employees or team members to encourage productivity and passion.
3. DELEGATING

3. DELEGATING
Leaders who try to take on too many tasks by themselves will struggle to get everything done. These leaders often fear that delegating tasks is a sign of weakness, where in fact it is a sign of a strong leader. Therefore, you need to identify the skills of each of your employees, and assign duties to each employee based on his or her skill set. By delegating tasks to staff members, you can focus on other important tasks.

4. FEEDBACK
Leaders should constantly look for opportunities to deliver useful information to team members about their performance. However, there is a fine line between offering employees advice and assistance and micromanaging. By teaching employees how to improve their work and make their own decisions, you will feel more confident delegating tasks to your staffs.

5. RESPONSIBILITY
A leader responsible for both the successes and failures of his or her team. Therefore, you need to be willing to accept blame when something does not go correctly. If your employees see their leader pointing fingers and blaming others, they will lose respect for you. Accept mistakes and failures and then devise clear solutions for improvement.

6. COMMITMENT
It is important for leaders to follow through what they agree to do. You should be willing to put in extra hours to complete an assignment; employees will see this commitment and follow your example. Similarly, when you promise your staff a reward, such as office party, you should always follow through. A leader cannot expect employees to commit to their job and their tasks if he or she cannot do the same.
Mishaps and last minute changes always occur at work. Leaders need to be flexible, accepting whatever changes come their way. Employees will appreciate your ability to accept changes in stride and creatively problem-solve. Similarly, leaders must be open to suggestion and feedback. If your staff is dissatisfied with an aspect of the office environment, listen to their concern and be open to making necessary changes. Employees will appreciate a leader's ability to accept appropriate feedback.
