Consultonomics Review the Importance of Encouraging New Leaders

    LIMERICK, IRELAND, October 19, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- In a recent leadership study by Consultonomics, the firm found that qualities such as assertiveness, adaptability, intelligence and conscientiousness were cited as the most important qualities of a strong leader. And leaders who are positive, inspiring and empowering, will be more valued by followers and have higher performing teams.

Great leaders will have the ability to identify and encourage other people's strengths. This is because they have the capacity to understand and work with other people, the capacity to create a secure environment where people have the physical and moral encouragements to work purposefully and the capacity to make this happen. Once a leader has identified other's strengths, it is then the leader's job to ensure they are trained and equipped with the skills necessary to create change and growth within a company. Consultonomics highlight that they are the future face of the organisations so will need to know how to get things done.

Good leadership does not just help the company. When a person becomes a great leader, the personal development that the individual has gone through is also a positive outcome. Leadership helps with personal development because it boosts an individual's morale, will expand a person's company knowledge, give a person a good feeling about helping others and will increase their overall confidence. Successful traits and characteristics found in a leader are not always found naturally. Some will have to be worked up, and at Consultonomics, the firm believe that the process of becoming a great leader has significant benefits to an individual's personal development.

Leaders are essential in business because it is important to learn for others' experiences. This will better prepare someone for the real business world. Consultonomics believes there are three core areas in which high-potentials need to be trained in order to become a successful future leader.

1. Innovation Competence: Good leaders create an atmosphere of security, trust, and expertise to facilitate the creative process and ensure it doesn't go off course. Consultonomics believe that good leaders know how to move individuals and teams from creativity to innovation.

2. Political Competence: It's not enough to come up with good ideas and new innovations. Most organisations have hundreds, if not thousands, of good ideas and new innovations. The challenge is to get these ideas through the eye of the needle. Consultonomics believe high-potentials need to know how to take innovations, ideas, or agendas and turn them into realities.

3. Managerial Competence: Moving ideas through the organisation demands that leaders know how to keep their teams focused and make sure that they sustain momentum for results. Consultonomics believe it's crucial that leaders know how to keep their teams motivated.
