This could be hard data like market research, competitive analysis, and customer satisfaction trends, or informal research that comes from asking around. Leaders get informed and stay informed. Leaders invest in learning. The more you know, the more you can help. The greater your competence, the more others will respect you and the effort you made to learn about what they do.
Leaders understand the importance of perception. Ensure that your strengths are not being perceived negatively by asking for feedback, engaging in assessments, and communicating proactively what you intend to accomplish with a particular action or question.
Spend time doing things that only you can do, delegating other important areas to competent team members. Establish a vision, and keep your gaze focused on the overall goal.
Resist the temptation to spend too much time solving day to day problems if they are costing you progress toward your vision. Great leaders get to know their people. What are their hobbies? What are they good at? Demonstrate a genuine interest in people. Create a culture where people feel supported personally, not just professionally. By understanding their people, leaders are better equipped to help them be successful.
Put them in places that will foster professional growth and help them achieve their career goals. When people succeed in their careers and enjoy the jobs they are doing, the organization benefits in turn. When people do a good job, make sure they know it.
Leadership Rules: How to Become the Leader You Want to Be
Some will want an email, others an announcement in a meeting, still others a monetary reward. Whatever the case, if it lies within your power, grant it. There is no such thing as too much sincere appreciation for a job well done. Be a resource, a sounding board, a safe place to talk. If you want the people you lead to respect you, they need to know you are on their side. Leverage your influence on their behalf.
2. Demonstrate integrity
Self-aware leaders understand the folly of trying to be all things to all people. It is impossible to be an expert in everything. Instead, surround yourself with people who possess qualities you lack. If you lack detail orientation, bring in someone who is organized.
If you forget to ask for input at meetings, ask someone who is more naturally inclusive to bring it up. Inform your perspective with the input of others. Only after this vetting process can you be certain you have made the right assignments or decision. Once executed, be sure to revisit, using the feedback you gain to optimize and tweak where necessary.

10 Steps To Becoming The Leader You Want To Be
Like all effective leaders, you need to stop. Who can support you? Being the best leader you can be also involves putting together the right team to complete the work. For leaders, building a team means finding the right people to support their growth. Building a personal support team brings you the insight you need to expand and stretch in new ways — not because you cannot do things for yourself but because you can do more with the help of others.
What do you need to know? Leaders need a more customized way to learn — a highly personal, completely self-designed approach to becoming even better.
