What steps can I take to develop leadership skills in my current role?
Building leadership skills involves taking initiative, supporting colleagues, and seeking feedback on your performance.
Developing leadership skills doesn’t always require a formal title; you can start by taking initiative in your current role, such as volunteering for projects or helping solve team challenges. Support your colleagues by offering assistance or sharing knowledge, as collaboration is a key part of leadership. Regularly seek feedback from your manager and peers to understand your strengths and identify areas for improvement. Emphasizing clear, constructive communication and demonstrating reliability in your work further builds credibility as a leader. Leadership is a skill that can grow over time with continuous effort and a focus on building trust and team cohesion.
