What people skills are important in leadership? Well, there are a number of important people skills for leaders. You need to know how to communicate well, be empathetic as well as motivate people to perform tasks. But these are very generic and not very helpful when you want to learn how to deal with people as a leader.
In this video I’ve gone granular and I share with you seven specific people skills that will help you become a great leader. If you’re new to leadership or you aspire to be a leader one day, it’s in your best interest to learn these people skills.
Because the problem I see often is that people are promoted into leadership based on their technical skills. And when they start in a leadership job, they don’t know how to deal with people. To avoid this, you need to fill this gap and learn important people skills for leaders. This video will help you with that!
