ADDRESSING THE LIMITATIONS IN LEADERSHIP

Every leadership is saddled with certain limitations that must be carefully dealt with so as to achieve its set objectives. Below are the key factors that must be considered when addressing limitations:

Define the goal: the first thing you must do is to define the goal for which you have been nominated. This will help you identify the hindrances that may limit you from accomplishing your goal.

Find the right people: once you have clearly defined your goal and identified its limitations, the next thing to do is to find the right people who can make up for those limitations. Your ability to communicate your goal to all members of the team will enable you get the right people in position. Every individual must understand their role in the goal.

Commitment: the team members must make a personal commitment to the goal. Commitment comes by the person being able to identify the goal as a worthy course.

Willingness: the only people you should incorporate into the group are those who are willing to do the work. The choice of being part of a team is important. The person must see your mission as critical and urgent.

Sense of value: every member of the team must know that he is valued. People must be appreciated for their unique role they play in the team.

Sense of accomplishment: every member of the team must feel a sense of accomplishment when the goal is achieved.

Your responsibility therefore as a leader in team building is to identify these qualities in the people you are calling into the group.
