I believe leadership is a skill that can be developed by most people.
If you want to get better at these skills, read/listen to some of the following books and posts, and actively reflect on what the content implies for your current work situation, and how you may have done things differently in the past given this approach/knowledge. Then put that into practice!
Top recommendations
- Read memoirs from successful/effective leaders.
- Learn how to give and receive feedback, and coach your team to do the same.
Misc
- Strategic Leadership and Management iMBA module (it’s surprising how many valuable tactics I learnt from this course!)
