What Do Leaders Do?

Leadership is a word that gets overused.  When asked what leaders do, it can be unclear.  I believe the top seven responsibilities include:

  • Planning the organizational goals
  • Aligning individuals with the goals of the firm and holding them accountable
  • Solving problems
  • Delegating
  • Giving praise
  • Giving corrective feedback
  • Treating people with care

Tom's Takeaway:  There are many aspects to leadership, but mastering this list of seven main leadership responsibilities will go a long toward ensuring a successful venture with happy, productive employees and satisfied customers.
