As a result of the Coronavirus pandemic, organizations have had to undergo certain deductions, learning to swim in the stormy sea that a new environment has left us with.
This is where leaders have had to “ pull their weight ” to keep the ship afloat and ensure that employees maintain the same performance and remain committed so that they do not abandon ship.
However, we know that many organizations still tend to discard potential leaders, as a result of being immersed in problems that do not allow them to focus on what is really important.
As a leader, it is important that you recognize the potential of future leaders . Once you have detected it, you must play the role of mentor, coach and be responsible for developing their potential, giving them responsibilities proper to a leader. These actions will make you an effective leader .

3 essential tips
to Become an Effective Leader
1. Know your Team
You become an effective leader when you accept that you can't do everything for everyone. The key is to know your team and who you can depend on.
Don't focus on what you don't have. Focus on your team's strengths and build on them.
Likewise, identify the qualities that distinguish the team. You should observe who stands out and why. It is necessary to dig deeper to know what each person brings to the team. In addition, you should try to support their strengths.
Evaluate the following question : Who are the potential executive planners and leaders?
This will be very useful for you. Once you know who is on your team and how they work together, you can define the qualities that differentiate the top performers, and then you can help them become the leaders they want to be.
As a leader, you must be able to know your limitations and what you are up against. With this in mind, you must find a way to complement your weaknesses through the talents and skills of those who are part of the team. Thus, by delegating projects, you build and grow.
It is important to know our weaknesses, as great leaders know who they are and have confidence in themselves. That confidence will allow you to recognize the important role that each member around you plays.
As a result of this practice, you will find yourself better able to build a team and train future leaders who will complement you and each other. This will pave the way for a better future for the organization.

2. Fear for Trust
Once you have built trust, the next step is to replace fear with trust by focusing on the right messages, or changing them if they no longer work.
In crisis situations, top performers need their leaders to provide that confidence, not just in the situation, but in themselves, so that they see themselves as capable of bringing about change. If your team doesn't feel that confidence, they are likely to look outside for it.
If you believe in your people, you must create the necessary incentives to motivate them. In this way, people will be able to move with confidence, in the direction they aspire to, and will be able to pursue their dreams within the company. An effective leader gives meaning to the work of his team.
3. Create a Culture of Collaboration
In difficult times, resources are limited, and collaboration becomes a necessity. Ask your team for their own perspective on resource reduction management processes.
As we said before, as a leader you need to understand yourself and your people, in order to motivate them and generate commitment. This is based on teamwork .
Nowadays, you no longer need to be in front of the team all the time. You certainly need to help, guide and direct, but that task cannot be accomplished by one individual alone, you need a whole team working together for it to happen and be effective.
That's where true effective leadership comes in. Recognizing strengths and potential in others who can become the leaders of tomorrow .
Another important aspect of this point, and one that will set you apart from other leaders, is the power of generating a positive and optimistic tone. You need to show them that you believe in them. Allow them to make mistakes, this is an essential step in building trust.
