Quality of leaders in the new era

There is a famous saying in management circles: A group of sheep led by a wolf can defeat a group of wolves led by a sheep. This sentence illustrates the importance of leaders, and at the same time, it also implies the power of the team. A friend gave me a book "Effective Leaders" and asked me to help write an article about my experience. I copied it here and there and finally managed to submit it. Now share this article with friends who are interested in serving as unit leaders!

Leadership is the core competency of a leader. Improving a leader's leadership plays a central role in strengthening a leader's capacity building. Leaders must appropriately use power factors and non-power factors to establish authority so that organizational members can gather around them. Leaders must not only strengthen learning and improve quality; they must also establish a good image and strengthen management. We must pay attention to being strict with ourselves, lead by example, use our leadership charisma to drive, influence, and promote the majority of organizational members to improve their work and work hard to achieve the common goal of the Communist Party of China. In actual work, to continuously enhance the leadership of leaders, I think we can start from several aspects such as continuously strengthening learning, improving personal quality, establishing a good image, and paying attention to management.

1. Become a learning leader

Leaders shoulder the historical mission of promoting enterprise development and career progress. They should strengthen learning, actively practice, be brave in innovation, and keep pace with the times. It is necessary to enhance the awareness of learning, constantly update existing knowledge, and always maintain a professional sensitivity and thirst for all new ideas, new perspectives, new knowledge and new methods that are conducive to promoting and improving work. Through continuous learning, increasing knowledge and improving abilities, we can continuously lay a solid foundation for improving our leadership.

To strengthen learning, leaders must be eclectic in terms of content, and must have both height, depth and breadth.

1． Strengthen theoretical study. As a leader, only if you are theoretically sober and firm can you be politically sober and firm, thereby ensuring the correct direction of your leadership. In daily life, we must strengthen the study of Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thinking of the "Three Represents". We must strive to master the theoretical system and spiritual essence, arm our minds with developed Marxism-Leninism, and guide our work, so that we can "stand high and see far."

2． Strengthen the learning of professional knowledge. According to the needs of the work, learn extensively about modern economy, management, education, science and technology, law, postal service, marketing and other aspects. At the same time, through extensive learning, broaden horizons, broaden ideas, and innovate thinking, and enhance the ability to make scientific decisions and guide practice.

3. Focus on learning the art of leadership and modern management concepts. Use scientific theories to guide your management practices, strive to strengthen the planning of work, scientifically set stage goals, create a relaxed, harmonious and enterprising team atmosphere, and rationally allocate human, financial and material resources to optimize team effectiveness. .

To strengthen learning, leaders should focus not only on reading "books with words" but also on "books without words."

First, learn from books middle school study. Learn systematic theoretical knowledge and new ideas and concepts from books to increase your knowledge and broaden your horizons.

The second is to attach importance to learning in society. Learn from others. Confucius said: "When three people are walking together, there must be my teacher." As a leader, you must pay attention to learning, dare to learn from other people's good ideas, good styles, and good methods, learn from others' strengths, and make up for your own shortcomings. Learn from life. Life is the best teacher. In all aspects of daily life and work, as long as you pay attention, you will be knowledgeable everywhere. Leaders must be thoughtful people who explore, summarize, accumulate, and improve in practice.

The third is to focus on connecting with reality and learning and applying. "What you learn on paper will only be shallow in the end. If you are aware of it, you must put it into practice." Whether it is knowledge obtained from books, learning from other people's strengths, or based on one's own experience, it must be combined with the actual situation at that time and place. , adhere to the spirit of seeking truth from facts, analyze specific situations, and carry out work creatively.

Only by continuously strengthening learning can leaders continuously enhance their own knowledge and abilities and continuously enhance their own quality. Only by constantly enriching and improving yourself can you better improve your leadership, influence the members of the organization, promote the development of various tasks, and promote the development of the organization.

2. Improve personal leadership style

As a leader in the new era, you should have high leadership charisma. Leadership charisma affects the performance of leadership abilities. Leadership charisma helps unite and influence subordinates, and helps enhance leadership effectiveness. To improve leadership charisma, one must possess three qualities: cultural quality, moral quality, and character charm. These three aspects of quality must be organically combined to effectively improve the leader's overall quality and leadership charisma. Therefore, an aspiring leader should continuously strengthen the cultivation of cultural quality, moral quality, and character charm. In real life and work, leaders must study hard, be diligent in thinking, and be strict with themselves; they must keep their word and have results in their actions. We must do the following in our daily life and work:

1. Infect employees with love. Leaders should not put on airs of leadership, but should be approachable, amiable, and interact with subordinates on an equal footing. Only in this way can you gain the support and following of others and become a leader worthy of the name. Otherwise, there will be disunity from top to bottom, and no matter how excellent the leader's qualities are in other aspects, it will be difficult to gain support and followers from everyone.

2． Respect is the most valuable quality. "Leadership is not a person, a position or a project, but the interaction between managers and followers, that is, the scope of activities." Therefore, leaders must establish close and good working relationships with followers relation. If subordinates know, understand and trust the leader, they will willingly support and follow the leader. On the contrary, if the relationship between managers and followers is alienated, and they are suspicious, jealous, or even hostile to each other, then the subordinates will gradually drift away from the leader, become alienated from each other, and seem to be alienated from each other.

3. Be innovative. A sense of innovation is what an excellent leader must possess. A leader's sense of innovation is linked to unknown causes and actions that have not yet been explored. Leaders can be keenly aware of the direction and atmosphere of development, can be aware of fleeting opportunities, can combine social development trends, and far-sightedly determine the development direction of organizations and individuals, and point out goals for organizations and individuals to move forward. Leaders who are innovative are more likely to gain the support, love and support of their subordinates.

4. Make work an art. To become a respected and loved leader, you must have good work art. Carry forward a solid and in-depth work style, carry forward a truth-seeking and pragmatic style, and carry forward a pioneering and enterprising style. Boldly explore, forge ahead, and work creatively. To establish a good style of work, we must effectively stay away from those bad habits of not telling the truth, not doing practical things, and not seeking practical results. It is necessary to close the relationship between cadres and the masses, fully mobilize the enthusiasm, creativity and initiative of the masses, and unite to do a good job. Especially with the deepening of reform and the continuous development of modernization construction, there are more new problems, new situations, and new contradictions, and it is even more necessary to strengthen work art.

3. Shape your own character charm

Character charm is the most important thing in leadership charisma. "If a person is upright, he will act without being told; if he is not upright, he will not obey orders." It can be seen that the ancients have long noticed the important influence of the leader's own image on the members of the organization. A successful leader should have such character charm:

1. Will charm.

Will is a person's psychological quality and also a kind of character. It is contained in the heart and reflected in actions. Will is the characteristics of decisiveness, patience, determination and tenacity that a leader embodies in his leadership activities. Will always comes with ambitious goals. Any leader with lofty ideals must constantly strive to achieve his lofty goals. Therefore, leaders must always put the common goal and common cause first, stimulate the enthusiasm, initiative, and initiative of organizational members, and let organizational members feel the driving force of goals and causes. Give every member of the organization the opportunity to develop their individual talents. Let organizational members feel their personal meaning and value in the organization. Encourage members of the organization to be proactive and brave in pioneering, and use goals and careers to unite everyone's wisdom and strength. We must always make members of the organization firmly believe that personal interests are closely linked to the cause of the organization. Through unremitting efforts, you will be able to achieve the expected goals, achieve career success, and realize your own life value. Leaders must constantly inspire organizational members to have lasting enthusiasm and inexhaustible motivation for work. Continuously strengthen the professionalism and sense of responsibility of organizational members, gather people's hearts with career development and work responsibilities, strive to carry forward entrepreneurial spirit, actively think and plan work goals and methods, and do their best to complete work tasks, thereby gaining the joy of career success and inspiring higher aspirations. Entrepreneurial passion and work enthusiasm.

2． Faith charms.

"We all come from all over the world, and come together for a common goal." This sentence very appropriately reveals the charm of the leader's belief; although the positions of leaders and employees are There are different levels and different divisions of labor, but the most important link connecting them is a common belief and goal. Therefore, leaders must always put the same beliefs, goals, and common causes first, stimulate the enthusiasm, initiative, and initiative of organizational members, and let organizational members feel the driving force of goals and causes.

For excellent leaders, belief is the necessary psychological quality for successful leadership and the foundation for leaders to achieve great things. Only when leaders are full of the belief that they will win can they be sure of their cause, take firm steps, have the courage to overcome any difficulties, and be able to meet challenges from all aspects at any time. The guiding power of faith is not limited to the believer himself, it can also influence others. This is an important reason why faith is so attractive. If a leader has strong beliefs, his career will be half successful. He can use his beliefs to influence employees, making subordinates identify and convince them, and then be willing to serve the leader's goals.

3. Charisma.

The power of personality is infinite. Leaders who only focus on power without cultivating personality will never lead a good job, let alone improve their leadership abilities. Leaders must respect the personal dignity of organizational members, care for and love organizational members, and provide organizational members with opportunities to learn, work, and develop. In the process of work, we should not only achieve the development goals of the organization, but also promote the development and progress of the organization's members. We must pay close attention to the interests, needs and concerns of organizational members, and use trust and cultivation to create an environment in which organizational members are supported. You must not be condescending, arrogant, put on airs, show off your power, or regard yourself as an "official" who gives orders and is domineering.

Let alone one-sidedly believe that "distance" creates authority and artificially set up emotional barriers. In the minds of organizational members, a leader should always be a mentor at work, a helpful friend in life, and a person who is always trustworthy and reliable.

4. Establish a correct concept of employment

People are the most active factor in management activities. Leaders must firmly establish the "people-oriented" management concept and establish scientific employment concepts and Adhere to the correct employment orientation, stimulate everyone's enthusiasm, initiative, and initiative, and focus the thoughts and energy of all organizational members on the success of the organization and the realization of personal values.

1． Focus on education and guidance.

Leaders must strengthen their own ideological and style construction and set an example by example, so that they can be persuasive and educational, can better influence their subordinates, become a learning example for their subordinates, and guide them to establish correct behaviors. world outlook, outlook on life and values.

2． Use first-class talents to achieve first-class careers.

Career development requires talents, and the key to career success lies in talents. Leaders must establish a scientific concept of employment and adhere to the correct employment orientation. Leaders should pay attention to the concept of selecting and employing people who have career first, have both political integrity and talent, and dare to use talents who are better than themselves. Strive to discover talents, make good use of talents, and retain talents; strengthen the training of talents with a strong sense of professionalism and responsibility and capable business, actively recommend them, and strive to be meritocratic, know people well, and enable all types of talents to find their place and show their talents. long. In the process of selecting and employing people, we must listen extensively to the opinions of members, strictly follow the system and procedures, conscientiously implement the system of democratic centralism, and strive to select truly wise and capable people and provide a stage for them to display their talents. Through the correct selection and employment of people, we aim to highlight the leader's clear view of loving and cherishing talents, which not only helps to mobilize the enthusiasm of subordinates, but also establishes the leader's own image, promotes a good atmosphere, and produces good results. Effect.

3. Strengthen system construction.

While strengthening educational guidance, we must also strengthen system construction and strengthen supervision and evaluation. First of all, leaders themselves must take the initiative to accept everyone's supervision. It seems that leaders are supervised by subordinates, but the actual effect is helpful to improve the leader's leadership. By establishing a power operation mechanism with reasonable structure, scientific configuration, strict procedures and effective restrictions, mutual supervision between leaders and subordinates, between departments and departments, and between staff and staff can break the concealment of power operation; through the establishment of The assessment and evaluation system comprehensively evaluates the morality, ability, diligence, and performance of organizational members, and improves the corresponding reward and punishment system, so that those who are loyal to their duties, honest, dedicated, and have outstanding achievements will be rewarded; those who are slack at work and have mediocre achievements will be punished. In this way, we can strengthen the right path, suppress evil spirits, and mobilize the enthusiasm of the majority of organization members.

In short, if leaders want to improve their "leadership", they must practice both internal and external skills; they must appropriately use power factors and non-power factors to establish authority so that organizational members can gather around them; both It is necessary to strengthen learning and improve quality; it is also necessary to establish a good image and strengthen management. We must pay attention to strict self-discipline, lead by example, use leadership charm to drive, influence and promote the improvement of the majority of organizational members, and work hard to achieve the common goal of the postal enterprise.
