Corporate culture and
successful management relies on the interaction of teams and leaders in order
to cultivate a positive environment. Leadership needs to be focused on not only
overseeing projects and day to day operations, but also on encouraging team
members to become independent of constant supervision. The best leaders create
a positive morale to increase productivity throughout even the busiest times of
the year.

Unsuccessful managers
and team leaders often make mistakes and believe that giving orders and double
checking team work makes up all the responsibilities of any supervisory
position. Theoretically, this is accurate; subordinates must follow
instructions in order for a company to succeed. However, this management style
almost always results in a less efficient department or team, as no one in the
office believes or cares in the work they are doing.

The best managers
ensure that employees understand the reason behind each task, and foster an
environment that encourages more output and better results through positive
feedback, rather than fear of reprimand. Professional and constructive
relationships need to be built between leaders and team members to improve team
communication and efficiency when working together. Team members need to
believe that management and leaders care about employees as people rather than
business assets, which can be created through a positive atmosphere manifested
by an effective leader. Regardless of the work load, employees rally behind
leaders that show themselves to the company and make employees believe in them.
Good leaders are magnetic in any setting, and make team members believe in a
company message and culture.

Leadership is always
far more involved than basic delegation of work. Leadership involves the
management of people and finding effective ways to encourage and help
employees. Visit leadership expert Emile Haddad’s blog for more information on
leadership and how to apply effective leadership skills at any setting.
