One way to start assessing your skills is to take this leadership style quiz to get a general idea of how you lead. Once you have completed the quiz, read about the major characteristics of your dominant style. Are these qualities helping or hindering your leadership?

2. Encourage Creativity

Effective leaders should offer new challenges with sample support to achieve these goals. One way to foster creativity is to offer challenges to group members, making sure that the goals are within the grasp of their abilities.

3. Serve As a Role Model

Transformational leaders exemplify the behaviours and characteristics that they encourage in their followers. They walk the walk and talk the talk. As a result, group members admire these leaders and work to emulate these behaviours. If you want to become a better leader, work on modelling the qualities that you would like to see in your team members.

4. Be Passionate

Would you look to someone for guidance and leadership if they did not truly care about the goals of the group? Of course not! Great leaders are not just focused on getting group members to finish task. Let people know that you care about their progress. When one person shares something with the rest of the group, be sure to tell them how much you appreciate such contributions.

5. Listen and Communicate Effectively

Another important characteristic of transformational leadership involves a focus on providing one-on-one communication with group members. By keeping the lines of communication open, these leaders can ensure that group members feel able to make contributions and receive recognition for their achievements.

6. Have a Positive Attitude

If leaders seem discouraged or apathetic, members of the group are likely to also become uninspired. Even when things look bleak and your followers start to feel disheartened, try to stay positive.

7. Encourage People to Make Contributions

Let the members of your team know that you welcome their ideas. Leaders who encourage involvement from group members are often referred to as democratic or participative leaders.

8. Motivate Your Followers

Transformational leaders also provide inspirational motivation to encourage their followers to get into action. Of course, being inspirational isn't always easy. Fortunately, you don't need motivational speeches to raise your group members.

9. Offer Rewards and Recognition

A good leader knows that offering effective recognition and rewards is one of the best ways to help followers feel appreciated and happy. It may also come as no surprise that happy people tend to perform better at work. According to researchers Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer, leaders can help group members feel happier by offering help, removing barriers to success and rewarding strong efforts.

10. Keep Trying New Things

Who says leadership is a one-way relationship? As you work toward honing your leadership skills, don't forget to look to your followers for feedback an inspiration. Pay attention to the things that have been effective in the past and always be on the lookout for new ways to inspire, motivate and reward group members

Provide guidance and coaching to team

Lead by example, by demonstrating the behaviour, attitudes and approaches to work and problems that you want staff to emulate, such as commitment, motivation, creativity and an acceptable level of risk-taking.

Provide direct support and coaching, which includes providing information, feedback, resources and encouragement to individuals and the team.
Provide learning development opportunities that enable skills and knowledge development, such as by means of a program, private reading or a buddy or mentor arrangement.

PROVIDE ENCOURAGEMENT AND MOTIVATION

1.Personal Motivation

To create personal motivation, you have to begin with the end in mind. In other words, you must decide what you want accomplished by the end of your life. You decide what your priorities, values and goals are. It is your decision and motivation, not another person's.

2.Motivation Through Inspiration

In book, "Inspiration: Your Ultimate Calling," says your inspiration via your generosity, listening, kindness, gratitude, living passionately, and acting and living with truth can all or individually motivate and encourage another person to confidently move forward to go after his own dreams and goal.

3.Two-Way Relationship

It is an intuitive understanding that you have about encouragement and motivation-if you give it, you will receive it, , like "If you teach you will learn.

Conclusion

A good leader should have the discipline to work toward achieving their goal. They should have good communications skills to explain to the terms to their team members. Dedication is most important. They should have the capacity to spend whatever time or energy necessary to accomplish tasks. They should be fair and just towards all followers. They should be open to new ideas and accept views from others as well. A sense of humour will help to break the boredom and give a break to workaholics.
