I am extremely demanding with myself, and just as much with my collaborators.
The problem is that you can quickly go from an inspiring leader to a disgusting manager.
Here's what I put in place to become a good leader:
1οΈβ£ Accept the imperfections
The requirement is a quality, but pushed to the extreme, it becomes a defect. I learn to let go and accept that no one is perfect (including myself).
2οΈβ£ Show the example
If I want my team to surpass itself, I must be the first to work hard and respect the rules. Otherwise, I lose all credibility.
3οΈβ£ Congratulate regularly
Motivation in the long term requires recognition. The idea is not to talk only when it's wrong, but also to emphasize the importance of successes.
4οΈβ£ Communicate clearly
I make sure to be as precise as possible in my briefs and use tools like Notion to trace objectives. Each expectation must be clear, specific, and well communicated.
5οΈβ£ Accept the criticism
Feedback from my collaborators is essential. They must be able to address their criticisms to me without fear of reprisals.
6οΈβ£ Delegate effectively
A good leader knows how to fade away to let his teams shine, especially by relying on 4 heads. We meet every week to co-create future strategies, using processes prepared in advance and synthesized.
7οΈβ£ Create rituals
Every month, we organize a monthly meeting with all employees to take stock of the progress of projects, share new products and brainstorm collectively.
8οΈβ£ Invest in cohesion
I organize team building moments to strengthen the links between team members. Meetworking events and moments spent together are essential to create a corporate culture based on transparency, honesty, team culture and benevolence.
The requirement is necessary, but it must pull everyone up, not crush them.
This is how I strive to lead my team to success, while cultivating a positive and motivating work environment.
