After nearly a decade of coaching leaders<\/a> who have experienced great success but also blundered, bobbled, and blown it at times, I’ve found their greatest growth has come from spotting easily made mistakes that are often overlooked.<\/p>\n I’ve found the difference between a good leader and a\u00a0great leader is their level of awareness of 10 common leadership mistakes\u2014mistakes that can be made regardless of industry or level of leadership experience. These mistakes are costly.<\/p>\n Leaders who consciously avoid and deliberately work to reverse these oversights often experience some great returns, such as:<\/p>\n In this article, you’ll find 10 of the most common leadership mistakes we’ve observed. Remedy these today, and supercharge your effectiveness as a leader!<\/p>\n Are you delegating to develop your team’s talents and skills<\/a>, or just getting the work off your plate? Being deliberate about giving your team members responsibilities that will expand their existing skillsets will help you develop a well-rounded, rockstar team.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_sidebar orientation=”right” area=”et_pb_widget_area_6″ admin_label=”Sidebar” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”] [\/et_pb_sidebar][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_padding=”0px|0px|23.71875px|0px” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”off” custom_width_px=”1080px” custom_width_percent=”80%” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Micromanaging while delegating<\/a> is just as much work (or more) than doing the project yourself. But even more importantly, it shuts down any creativity, innovation, and expansion of skills that you might otherwise have enabled.<\/p>\n We can all agree that micromanaging is bad, but it is also ineffective to dump a project on a team member with little direction or follow-up. When delegating, make sure you communicate the important details of the job, provide the necessary resources (including being available as a sounding board, if needed), and make sure to always monitor progress and give sincere feedback.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_3,1_3″ admin_label=”Row” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”off” custom_width_px=”1080px” custom_width_percent=”80%” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n For any new assignment to be a successful learning and development experience for your employee, be sure to debrief the project after it is completed. Discuss what went well and what changes can be made in the future to elevate success. Give specific examples of what the employee did well and discuss future assignments the employee may want to take part in to further develop skills.<\/p>\n Employees can sense when change is impending, and trying to conceal that information until “the time is right” opens a gateway for a rumor mill to start brewing. Not only does your lack of transparency create unrest in the present situation, but it also decreases trust in the future.<\/p>\n If you haven’t had the conversation “What do you like to do and where do you want to go?” with each of your employees then you are missing out on some serious team development opportunities<\/a>. Your employees may have hidden passions or skills that, if developed (especially within the company), can eventually become a huge asset to the company. Caring about your employees’ long-term career strategies can be massively beneficial to increasing loyalty and motivation.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_divider color=”#969696″ divider_weight=”1px” disabled_on=”on|on|off” admin_label=”Divider” _builder_version=”4.16″ hide_on_mobile=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”] [\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text disabled_on=”on|on|” admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Receive monthly\u00a0insights & articles from our leadership development experts.\n
