Voici comment vous pouvez cultiver de puissantes compétences de leadership en tant que professionnel de l’informatique en milieu de carrière.

El aprendizaje continuo es super importante, así como el desarrollo de habilidades de liderazgo, sin embargo, el verdadero liderazgo va mucho más allá de eso, se trata de ser un buen ser humano, con don de gente, con valores y con vocación de servicio real.

Learning is key! Workshops, online courses - anything to keep your brain sharp. The more you know, the better you can lead your team and tackle any tech hiccup, even if it means explaining for the tenth time why the printer won't print (again!).

Leaders are not born, they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work and practice. Use visual tools such as mind maps to capture ideas, explore connections, and generate innovative solutions. Focus on strengths, optimism, and resilience to enhance leadership effectiveness. Positive psychology interventions have been shown to improve leadership satisfaction, performance, and follower well-being. The best leaders empower their teams and create an environment where everyone can shine. A survey by McKinsey Global Institute revealed that leaders who embrace diversity and inclusion outperform their peers by up to 36%.

To excel as a leader in IT, embracing lifelong learning is crucial. The rapid evolution of the tech field demands that you stay updated on the latest trends and technologies. However, technical expertise alone isn't sufficient. It's important to also explore leadership theories and strategies, and participate in workshops or courses that develop skills in communication, conflict resolution, and strategic thinking. By broadening your knowledge, you'll be more capable of leading diverse teams and tackling complex challenges.

Don't forget the power of mentoring and sharing your experience. When you join professional communities, you not only learn from others, but also have the opportunity to share your knowledge and skills. These interactions often lead to long-term business relationships and friendships that can prove invaluable throughout your career. Use social media such as LinkedIn to strengthen your connections and be open to new opportunities. Remember, each new contact can be the key to unexpected projects and collaborations that will take your career to the next level.

Mentoring others is a vital aspect of leadership development, which allows you to share your expertise, provide guidance, and encourage growth, when actively listening to their thoughts and concerns. While engaging in this, you create a supportive environment for the mentees, and develop your own leadership skills in the process as well. Mentoring not only enhances your personal brand and creates a legacy but also allows you to learn and grow alongside your mentees. Your experience, no matter how little, might be the much needed clarity someone else requires. Mentorship is indeed a privilege as well as a win-win experience, especially for a 21st century leader.

Honestly, I'm working on this as we speak. Being able to get connected with people online, in a time and space where you've never even met them at all or know really what to discuss seems intimidating...BUT if this were a random networking event, you'd be doing the same thing 🤷🏾♂️ So that being said, overcoming that fear and intimidation of approaching those you don't know can be alleviated similarly as it would be in person: learn about them. Similarities, differences, ask questions, let your personality (and don't forget professionalism) shine through with every message, post, comment.

Building a robust professional network is critical for effective leadership. Engage with peers, mentors, and industry experts through networking events, online forums, and professional organizations. A strong network provides access to diverse perspectives, innovative ideas, and potential collaboration opportunities. Actively participate in LinkedIn groups, attend webinars, and join IT leadership communities. By cultivating these connections, you enhance your ability to gather valuable insights, share best practices, and gain support from a broad professional community.

Conhecer outros profissionais de áreas diversas pode ser um facilitador para o nosso dia a dia. Seja você um lider ou membro de equipe.

In addition to creating the conditions for successful co-operation, it is also important to be flexible and adapt to changing circumstances. A true leader knows how to listen and take feedback in order to understand the needs and expectations of his team. Don't forget that leading by example is a powerful tool. If you demonstrate a willingness to learn, take responsibility and show perseverance, your team will tend to follow your lead. It is also important to recognise and celebrate successes, both big and small, to keep motivated and build team spirit.

Work together as a team don't just lolygage and not put forth effort. There is an opportunity for everyone to grow and learn from the opportunity presented to all of us.

Liderar uma equipe com diferentes cabeças, é complicado, sem dúvidas, cada profissional pensa de um jeito, age de um jeito e responde as atribuições de um jeito. Trazer essas cabeças há uma diretriz com o foco no mesmo objetivo, é complicado e ao mesmo tempo prazeroso.

EQ is a journey, and continuous practice will lead to positive outcomes. Practice emotional self-control. When faced with stress or pressure, take a deep breath and think before reacting.

Listen and learn from those around you. It isn't easy to understand what everyone is going through, do your best to listen, understand and help where you can.

I think a big part of emotional intelligence is remembering who you are, what you contribute, and how you impact those around you. Being a genuine and caring person inside and outside of the workspace is no small thing; if that weren't the case, we wouldn't be seeing so many employers and employees alike being concerned with workplace culture. Who you work with matters, especially if you'll be interacting with them ALL THE TIME. So asking yourself "What type of person will they co-workers be interacting with when they get to know me?"

You can lead by upholding a strong value system and showing enthusiasm for your work. Show accountability for your projects, and celebrate team successes while identifying individual contributions. Express empathy and understanding towards your team members, and be willing to learn from others. Lead with humility and always bear in mind that anything can be taught. Set clear goals for your team that align with the objectives of the organisation, and always celebrate team successes while recognizing individual contributions.

Stand up and take charge. don't let your opportunities fall to the way side. Even if you are not confident take the opportunity to better yourself and your situation.

Como diz o ditado: a palavra convence, mas o exemplo arrasta. Sem dúvidas está é a melhor forma de liderar. É demonstrar na prática o que é demandado do outro. A liderança pelo exemplo ganha os respeito, confiança e também passa credibilidade.

To cultivate powerful leadership skills, embrace a culture of constant innovation by adopting a growth mindset, experimenting with new approaches, and staying up-to-date with industry trends. Encourage your team to do the same, promoting a culture of creativity and adventure. Also set aside reserved time for experimentation, and seek feedback and iteration to refine your ideas. By doing so, you'll stay ahead in the industry, and create a culture of innovation that drives success. This approach will also empower your team to think outside the box, challenge the status quo, and explore new possibilities.

Look at the most current innovative emerging technology, try to learn as much as possible. There is plenty of opportunity for your to experience and learn from what is out there.

Compensez par votre expérience et capitalisez votre empathie dans la maitrise des relations par l experience. Montrez vous en leader plutôt qu en chef.
