The word "conflicts" begins with the letters "con." The literal meaning of "con" includes notions such as trick, deceive, belittle, and deceive—all negative emotions. When these emotions come into play, they often result in negative outcomes. Many conflicts arise due to unclear communication from leadership. The most effective way to prevent and resolve conflicts is to define the vision, objectives, and support clearly, and then cascade this clear communication down the hierarchy. When communication is honest and transparent about outcomes, conflicts can be minimized. We all seek to prosper equally, and when bias is perceived, conflict arises. Clear and fair communication helps in mitigating such issues & building a positive environement.

As a team leader, your most important role hovers around two critical aspects: fairness and leading by example. Any grudge or dissatisfaction from team members is likely to stem from a perceived deficiency in these attributes. Here’s a refined perspective on these two pillars of effective leadership. Four key Attributes one may need - 1. Consistency: Be consistent in your actions and decisions. 2. Feedback Mechanism: Establish a system for regular feedback, where team members can voice concerns and suggestions. 3. Visibility: Be present and accessible. showing your involvement. 4.

Most important Leadership Asset is Mental Resilience Period. 3 examples - Nelson Mandela: Showed immense resilience during his imprisonment, maintaining his vision for a free South Africa and emerging as a unifying leader.

Jacinda Ardern - used nothign but mental resilience in her handling of crises in New Zealand, during COVID-19 pandemic, earning global admiration for her leadership. Resilience is a key attribute that helps leaders navigate and overcome the inevitable challenges that come with any new role, ensuring they can lead effectively and inspire their teams to achieve success.

Emotional intelligence (EI) is a vital skill, just like any other, that needs to be learned and nurtured. Sadly, not all of us are taught EI or empathy from a young age. In India, our education system falls short in teaching mental resilience or emotional quotient (EQ). As we grow older, we often need to rewire our brains to develop these crucial skills. There are four key pillars to EI: self-regulation, empathy, social skills, and relationship-building. Leaders can learn to manage their emotions through mindfulness and stress management, boost empathy by actively listening and understanding others, and improve social skills with effective communication and conflict resolution. These abilities can foster a strong leadership.

Nothing can beat the power of professional coaching. Leader burnout is actually the cause of early lifestyle diseases faced by corporate folks today. Stress levels are high, expectations from family/social circles are also high, thanks to social media. To meet those expectations, your self-standards of achievements have also organically risen. Combined with digitization and high expectations in an uncertain business world, burnout is nothing but normal. Solution - A passionate coach, indifferent about your achievements and with no vested interest in pushing you. I strongly beleive, a good professional coach is more required than a gym membership today, just to set you up, refresh your thoughts for a brighter day ahead.
