CRITICAL COMPONENTS OF EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP

• Self Management

• Task Management

• Time Management

• Resource Management: This

will be dealt with extensively

in Module 600.

SELF MANAGEMENT

A man without self-control is like a

city broken into and left without

walls.

Prov 25:28 ESV

Efficient self management is what determines your level of accomplishment.

22

Psalms 78:72 - So he led them according to

the integrity of his heart; and guided them

by the skillfulness of his hands.

SELF MANAGEMENT REQUIRES:

• Setting order over your life

• Setting boundaries

• Dogged pursuit of vision

• Deploying energy

• Setting goals and pressing to achieve them

• My right to make a profitable choice must not be taken away from me.

• Making quality decisions and standing by it (being a law to oneself).

23

Everyone is absolutely responsible for the outcome of their life.

Everyone who can work without serious supervision is a leader in the making.

24

TASK MANAGEMENT

EFFICIENT TASK MANAGEMENT

• The business that we don’t

invest our best in cannot

produce the best result.

• You can’t get out of any

task more than you are

willing to add to it.

26

Only those who focus on their task, become front liners.

Our future is in the quality of our labour.

Prov 21:5 Steady plodding brings prosperity

27

• No world changer runs a normal schedule.

• Until you are outside your comfort zone you can't make the greatest impact. Jude 1:3

28

TIME MANAGEMENTQuote:Do you love life, don’t waste it, invest it,

that is what life is made of.

“Give me my youth back and I will pay

anything for it…”

Nnamdi Azikiwe.

29

• Time is an asset of equality.

• It is the most precious asset on earth.

• Quality time investors end up as news makers.

TEAM BUILDING

WHAT ISA TEAM?

A group organized to work together.

A team is a group of individuals working together to solve a problem, meet an objective, or tackle an issue.

EFFECTIVE TEAM BUILDINGEffective work teams do not just happen miraculously; they are the result of careful planning and preparation.

TEAM BUILDING

WHY DOTEAMS WORK?

The Whole is greater than the sum of its Individual Parts

Individuals bring a range of talents, knowledge, experience, contacts, etc.

Working together, a team can accomplish more

TEAM BUILDING

BENEFITS OF WORKING AS A

TEAM

It gives a sense of accomplishment

It gives self-fulfilment

It leads to more participation in activities

TEAM BUILDING

CHARACTERISTICS OFEFFECTIVE TEAMS

Share information openly

Participate in the team’s task

Encourage each other

Use all of the team’s resources

Effective Teams:

WAYS TO DEMOTIVATE

Leaders avoid these things!

WAYS TO DEMOTIVATE• Public criticism.• Failure to notice and appreciate good work.• Setting unachievable goals/deadlines.• Micromanagement• Direct or implied threats• Not explaining your decisions/actions• Withholding information• Not honouring creative thinking.• Lack of feedback• Giving out tasks without clear measures of

success.• Lack of clarity about work relevance

The 5 Stages of Team Development

Forming

Storming

Norming

Performing

Adjourning

The Forming Stage• The group is just starting to come together and is characterized with

anxiety and uncertainty.

• Members are cautious with their behavior, which is driven by the desire to be accepted by all members of the group.

• Conflict, controversy and personal opinions are avoided even though members are beginning to form impressions of each other and gain an understanding of what the group will do together.

• Some believe this cautious behavior prevents the group from getting any real work done. However, the focus for group members during the forming stage is to become familiar with each other and their purpose, not on work.

The Storming Stage• The storming stage is where conflict and competition are at its greatest.

This is because now that group members have an understanding of the task and a general feel for who they are as a group and who group members are, they feel confident and begin to address some of the more important issues surrounding the group. Such issues can relate to things like the group's tasks, individual roles and responsibilities or even with the group members themselves.

• The storming stage is where the more dominant of the group members emerge, while other, less confrontational members stay in the comfort and security of suppressing their feelings just as they did in the previous stage. Even though these individuals stay quiet, issues may still exist. All members have an increased need for clarification. Questions surrounding leadership, authority, rules, responsibilities, structure, evaluation criteria and reward systems tend to arise during the storming stage. Such questions must be answered so that the group can move on to the next stage. Consequently, not all groups are able to move past the storming stage.

The Norming Stage• Once a group receives the clarity that it so desperately needs, it can move

on to the third stage of group development, known as the norming stage.

• The norming stage is the time where the group becomes a cohesive unit.

• Morale is high as group members actively acknowledge the talents, skills and experience that each member brings to the group.

• A sense of community is established and the group remains focused on the group's purpose and goal.

• Members are flexible, interdependent and trust each other. Leadership is shared, and members are willing to adapt to the needs of the group.

• Information flows seamlessly and is uninhibited due to the sense of security members feel in the norming stage.

The Performing Stage• The team reaches the performing stage, when hard work leads.

• Frictions are at the minimum.

• The team is achieving goals and scaling milestones.

• The structures and processes that have been set up are working well.

• As leader, you can delegate much of your work, and you can concentrate on developing team members.

• It feels easy to be part of the team at this stage, and people who join or leave won't disrupt performance.

The Adjourning Stage• Many teams will reach this stage eventually. For example, project teams

exist for only a fixed period, and even permanent teams may be disbanded through organizational restructuring.

• Team members who like routine, or who have developed close working relationships with colleagues, may find this stage difficult, particularly if their future now looks uncertain.
