Amy Bernstein: 我过去缺乏领导力,表现得犹豫不决,需要他人许可才能采取行动。后来我意识到这个问题,并通过积极参与会议,承担挑战性任务,提升了领导力展现。 我提升领导力展现的关键在于注重细节,例如穿着得体,熟练掌握材料,并做好应对突发情况的准备。 我将领导力特质分为三个类别:威望、沟通技巧和外表。威望包括自信、果断、包容、尊重他人、远见和正直;沟通技巧包括掌控局面、解读听众和真诚;外表包括精致的外表和乐于当面出现。 Megan Bach: 领导力展现是职业晋升的重要因素,但前提是具备专业的领域知识。职业发展首先要成为某个领域的专家,然后才能通过领导力展现来扩大影响力。 即使无意中,我也在早期就展现出领导力,这得益于专业知识和会议准备。领导力展现需要自信地表达观点,并勇于与他人交流,无论其职位高低。 在工作中,胜任工作并完成承诺比成为“摇滚明星”更重要,将精力放在参与特殊项目和与他人建立联系上。积极参与工作组,代表团队观点,收集数据并制定可执行计划,可以提升领导力展现。 提升领导力展现需要找到自己热衷的领域,并充满热情地表达自己的观点。真诚意味着接纳真实的自我,并在个人和职业生活中实现整合。提升领导力展现需要根据不同的场合和对象调整自己的表现方式。 Laura Ciccola: 公开演讲不仅仅指正式场合,任何与他人交流都是公开演讲,关键在于明确目的并根据目的调整沟通方式。自信公开演讲的秘诀是“这与你无关”,要专注于为听众提供价值。 远程情况下,要积极主动地引导听众互动,避免使用“你明白吗?”或“有什么问题吗?”等封闭式提问。远程情况下,可以请求听众通过非语言方式(例如表情符号)反馈,以便更好地了解他们的理解情况。 真诚并非意味着待在舒适区,成长需要尝试新的事物,这会带来不适感,但这并不意味着不真诚。提升领导力展现需要展现不同的能量,例如思考、同理心和热情,并找到自己擅长的领域。 Mary: 我需要提升公开演讲能力和情绪管理能力。在工作中,我需要更积极地参与项目,并主动寻求机会提升自己。 远程办公下,提升领导力展现,可以通过提高声音质量、使用摄像头和积极参与互动来实现。
