What Do Modern Leaders Need To Do?

August 1, 2018 by Mandy

Everybody these days talk about leadership but what it actually is will vary from one individual to the next. It is really important that we understand various basic concepts associated with leadership in order to actually be able to become a more competent leader. Envision Experience and other organizations to offer lectures about leadership but if you do not know the basics, you will not gain any benefit.

People that are in charge of companies are managers but they are expected to also lead. Leading and managing are quite different. Managing basically involves properly using available resources like systems, schedules, tools, equipment and supplies. You need to have administration abilities but working with people is not something that is needed. Managers that lead will influence staff performance, making people perform better, as a collective and as an individual. Things are managed and people are led.

Remember that leadership is not strictly connected only to the managers or executives. Most leadership books talk about CEOs and generals but they rely on strategic things that could be done. In practice, leadership skills are necessary for absolutely everyone. Every single manager has to have strong leadership skills. In fact, whenever you work with people you have to be sure that you are a good leader so that everything is done better.

If you want to improve leadership skills, you need to work on them. You can do this in the following ways.

Develop

Know-how is highly necessary in order to work at full potential. Managers have to optimize abilities by helping people get better at the job done. Developing leadership and skills is the responsibility of the leader when managing a team. You do this by clearly stating expectation. You have to set an example, offer instructions, feedback and coaching.

Inspired

The team members may know exactly how to do something but they do want you to contribute. The influence you have on their wish to work with the team is huge. Contrary to popular belief, you cannot inspire through monetary incentives. You have to set an example, understand values, interests, needs, express team vision and assign appropriate tasks to all the right people. Appreciation has to be shown for the job that is well-done.

Support

You need to give your team members what is needed in order to succeed, allocate resources, information and remove barriers. Everything starts with delegation as guidelines, authority and responsibility are shared among team members, all along with assignments. Support should be offered while the work is done. As team members trust their leaders that they will get the support they need, work will always be better.

Encourage

Working is not easy. People almost always encounter mistakes, adversity-problems, failures and shortfalls. As something bad happens, people could quit or lose energy. You should always offer timely encouragement as a leader in order to help people work through adversity, all while continuing striving. Every single leader needs to be responsible and be an example for every single person that is encountered.

What Master Debaters Do Best

June 21, 2017 by Mandy

History is replete with those who could get up in front of a room and sway the crowd with their words. From politicians to religious leaders, to great generals, to business icons, their verbal skills have carved a place for them in history. At some point each of them realized that debating their positions, sometimes against very strong arguments, was a necessary skill in order for them to move their agendas along. What are the skills they used to win an argument? Can they be learned and used by others?

Enlist the help of Debate Experts

To become the best at anything you need to get coaching. Everyone who is at an elite level from sports stars, to business leaders, understands this truism. So master debaters enlist debate experts who can help hone their skills.

For debate experts like Thomas M Rollins teaching the skills required in debating is serious business. He focuses on giving them all of the necessary tools they need to become a top debater. Of course it is up to the student to practice what has been taught and to use these tools effectively.

Display Supreme Confidence

Master debaters are 100% sure they will win an argument no matter who their opponent is for the debate. Think about Michael Jordan before an NBA finals game and the confidence and surety he exudes. This is the demeanor of the master debater. This confidence does not come from their thinking that they are superior only, it also comes from their knowing that the preparation they have gone through positions them to simply be better than anyone else.

Preparation is the difference maker is nearly any subject. Those who take the time to perfect their ability to do well, can count on doing well. So the master debater prepares and prepares until he has mastered the topic, its arguments, how to present them both, the room, the audience, and every other big and small detail about the debate. When the master debater walks out on stage, in his or her mind the debate is already won.

Map Out Every Argument on a Topic

As mentioned, preparation is the art of being ready for whatever can come. In a debate, this means understanding and being prepared for any potential approach to a topic and every argument that can be made about it. The greats understand that they needed to be prepared to make their own arguments but they also need to know and respect alternative arguments that might be made by a detractor. And for every minute that is spent looking at their own arguments, there is an equal amount of time dedicated to the other arguments that can be made. Knowing both sides of an argument allows top debaters to position their own argument more effectively.

Know How to Work the Room

Debates are part knowledge, part ability to argue, and part performance. In nearly every debate, there is a story of an audience being swayed because of the performance of a debater. Discovering which way to sway a room requires a debater to pay attention to the type of room in which the debate is being held and then to craft his style for the debate based on this information. They are chameleons and able to get into the heads and hearts of those listening.

There is no debate that these tips will make you a better debater.
