Discussion:
Effective leaders have the ability to set clear goals and expectations. They discover ways to build trust with team members and provide opportunities for them to excel and develop. They express the value of worker’s participation and engagement. They understand how to encourage workers by showing what is required, rather than just telling them; understanding actions, speak words. Leaders should participate in projects proactively. Doing this requires they know their trade, demonstrate organizational skills, and practice good communication. Every day, take time to prepare before arriving at work. Arrive motivated and inspired, dressed for the job, and ready to take action. Be fully engaged when on the job, show excitement, inspiration, trust, vision, and a positive attitude. Demonstrate vision for goals and strive for
accomplishments. Don’t wear excessive jewelry or baggy clothes that would interfere with machinery. Don’t complain about negative aspects of the work or participate in gossip. People follow leaders they trust. When a team leader sets the right example for accomplishing goals and conducting business, the team follows.

As always, stay safe out there!
