Marg Kronfeld is a New Zealand professional and the company director
of BK Enterprises. As an experienced manager and director, Marg Kronfeld
has developed methods to encourage leadership within her companies. If
you’d like to do the same in your own professional endeavors, try
tactics like those listed below:
- Establish a Vision – Communicate a clear vision to every team member so that they know where the company is headed. Helping your employees understand your overall vision for the organization helps each member see how their role is important to the bigger picture. This can encourage team members to work harder and improve company morale. Adding a non-profit cause to the organization’s vision, such as donating monthly funds to a charitable cause, can also encourage employees to work harder.
- Encourage Learning and Development – Offering proper training and leadership development programs to employees gives them a chance to learn about their current role and to prepare for advancement. This can be as simple as encouraging your senior employees to mentor fresh talent or as in-depth as hiring on new team leaders for these programs.
- Talk About Leadership Traits – Scheduling regular meetings to discuss leadership development and talents can encourage employees to overcome obstacles and improve skills. Identify personal strengths of individual employees to the group, too, to show that you appreciate and applaud what each person brings to the table.
