The best time to demonstrate those skills and flex your leadership\nmuscle is not when things are routine and normal\u2014it\u2019s during times of change\nand challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.<\/strong>    Be of service. <\/strong> This is the\ntime to showcase one of your authentic strengths, so choose one that comes\nnaturally to you. Information will help them feel more in control and reduce\ntheir stress. Leaders set examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.<\/strong>    Initiate. <\/strong>Instead of sitting\nback and waiting for the latest directives, take the initiative to help your\ncolleagues feel confident and stay connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.<\/strong>    Focus on\nothers. <\/strong>Leaders know that the key is to focus on others, not\nthemselves. That\u2019s what makes a team successful. Leaders also truly care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.<\/strong>    Be positive.<\/strong> Don\u2019t get\ncaught up in negativity or reproach. Be the voice of enthusiasm and positivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.<\/strong>    Acknowledge others.<\/strong> Effective\nleaders don\u2019t seek praise; they bestow it upon others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Focus on the mission.<\/strong>\u00a0It\u2019s easy to lose the plot during times of change and uncertainty. Be the person who reminds people of the\u00a0 mission and get people focused on a strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
