THIS IS WHAT THE MOST EFFECTIVE LEADER IN YOUR COMPANY LOOKS LIKE. (SPOILER
ALERT: IT’S PROBABLY NOT YOU.)

Unless you’re a solopreneur, odds are you’re not the most effective leader in
your company. There can be only one, after all. Fortunately, each of us is on a
journey. You may be hovering near the top of the leadership leaderboard, or a
bit further down than you’d like. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a relatively
new leader, you can turn to well-established leadership essentials to identify
important gaps, and guide your future development.
I’ve had the pleasure of studying and practicing leadership for more than 25
years. I’ve drawn lessons from the U.S. Marine Corps, Harvard Business School,
rapidly growing software companies, and everywhere in between.
Here’s what I’ve discovered about the most effective leaders in any
organization:
1. They have a high level of self-awareness.
Perhaps the single greatest requirement of leaders is to develop and maintain
accurate self-awareness. This is more difficult than it may seem. Researcher
Tasha Eurich discovered that while 95% of us believe we’re self aware, only
10-15% of us actually are. Without self-awareness, nothing in your leadership
can improve.
2. They craft winning strategies.
Too many leaders confuse busyness with real value creation. Rather than get
swept away by a series of loose activities, effective leaders make time to think
strategically. This is not merely the domain of the C-Suite. “Level down”
leaders must absorb higher-order strategies, then devise their own specific to
their area of responsibility.
3. They are intensely goal-oriented.
Goals focus collective energies and provide important context for
decision-making. The most effective leaders don’t just create goals and move on.
They monitor progress and make necessary adjustments until the objective has
been met. Bonus: Learn how to set the SMARTEST goals.
4. They consistently deliver results.
A leadership reputation is earned over a long period of time, and through
demonstrating a high degree of reliability. While an effective leader’s
objectives change over time, their performance doesn’t. They find ways to unite
team members and deliver outsized performance outcomes.
5. They run meetings that don’t suck.
A recent Slack survey found that according to more than 18,000 respondents, as
many as 43% of meetings could be eliminated with little to no significant
consequences. The only thing worse than “yet another” meeting is a poorly run
meeting. Effective leaders understand that meetings can have value when they’re
run properly.
6. They deliver the right feedback at the right time.
Effective leaders don’t shy away from providing constructive feedback. Whether
in the moment, during a regularly scheduled 1-on-1, or during an annual
performance review, effective leaders share their perspective in a way that
benefits the other party, even when it may not be comfortable to hear.
7. They freely offer praise where deserved.
When a team member goes above and beyond what’s expected, an effective leader
seizes the opportunity to recognize the effort. Offering recognition reinforces
constructive behaviors, boosts morale, and demonstrates a high level of team
cohesion. Effective leaders are happy to share the spotlight with other star
performers.
8. They make others feel a part of the team.
In a post-pandemic and increasingly hybrid working environment, isolation and
loneliness have become all too common. Effective leaders understand that
high-performing organizations and teams require a strong social fabric. They
make time and space for team members to connect and strengthen social bonds.
9. They help others see their impact.
Workers want to experience a sense of purpose and meaning in their work. This
isn’t always easy, and effective leaders understand that it’s up to them to help
bridge the gap. By helping employees connect the dots between their day-to-day
efforts, personal purpose, and organizational objectives, effective leaders
elevate performance and strengthen team commitment.
Let’s face it: When it comes to being your company’s most effective leader, the
odds aren’t in your favor. Even so, you can take comfort in knowing that highly
effective leaders weren’t simply born this way; they had to work at it. You can
do the same. You just have to want to get better, reflect on our improvement
opportunities, and put in the work to up your game. That’s why I’ve created the
accompanying worksheet to help you get started.
Leadership is about the choices you make. Will you quickly move on to the next
trivial task? Or will you prioritize your leadership development by completing
the worksheet?
The choice—as always—is yours.
