On June 21, the EAP Network partnered with the Cultural Careers Council Ontario for their 2nd Annual HR Swap Meet geared towards Young Arts Managers. Four different speakers were invited to share their insight with an intimate group of arts professionals. Topics ranged from Work Life Balance to Effective Leadership. I was particularly inspired by Robert Sirman’s perspectives on effective leadership and had the good fortune to have my digital recorder on hand. You’ll find his top ten tips below or listen to his session which I recorded live during the event (ignore the background laughter.) Ella Cooper, EAP Leader & Founder
TOP 10 TIPS
Effective Leadership – Transitioning
1. Know yourself. Understand your strengths and weaknesses. Leaders are self-reflective, and don’t make promises they can’t keep.
2. Don’t be afraid to ask others for help. No one has all the answers. Reach out and expand the knowledge base available to solve problems.
3. Invest in others. Leaders win loyalty through their generosity to others. Give and you will get.
4. Recruit people around you who are smarter than you are. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Forge the strongest possible team.
5. Learn how to run effective meetings. Find out what you have to do before, during, and after meetings to become an effective chair and/or contributor.
6. Be prepared. Winging it is for the birds. Don’t risk compromising your credibility and authority by entering a situation without appropriate research and advance preparation.
7. Maintain a professional tone in all written communication. Assume that every e-mail, memorandum, and letter you write will become part of the public record. In an age of transparency and access to information, this may very well turn out to be the case.
8. Stay positive. People turn to leaders for inspiration and a reason to believe. Give them the positive energy they need to keep going, no matter what.
9. Dream big. Leaders are people who raise the bar. Keep your vision moving forward, and think creatively.
10. It’s not about you. Everyone wants to be liked, but there is little worse than being described as “a nice person but an ineffectual leader.” Forget your ego, and get the job done. People will admire you all the more for it.

I love leaders!
I guess this is what I was waiting for. Really like it. Thanks for helping out!!
Instead of tips I would call them The Ten Commandments on how to be a good leader. They are very helpful almost for any area.
A lot of these tips are overlapping. Tips 1-3 are summed up by tip 4. If you are surrounded by people who are smarter than you in the department they specialize, it gives you one less thing to worry about. You job as a leader is to harness their talent into the greater picture. - Teresita
Great post at all. Though leaders are born with the GOD gifted abilities and extra ordinary endurance yet your post really matters. It not only help the common man but also encompasses many things which a leader can adopt to polish itself. Being a mortgage calculator I hope that will get enough form this post and will do try your tips to deal the future customers. Fine information for all. travel insurance

hmmmmmmmmm read ur blog. and it is usefull for me,
Guys, please calm down and stop thinking that “jump” means “removes itself” moissanite. Think of jump in the chain heal sense:
“Heals the friendly target for X to Y, then jumps to heal additional nearby targets.”
The jump is in addition to your current target. It doesn’t replace them in any way. Your rejuv is not going to peel off the tank and go heal someone’s wolf celtic jewelry. That would be the dumbest thing ever – of COURSE that’s not how it will work!
Everyone take a deep breath and stop fretting that your rejuvs will be disappearing off your targets without warning. It’s not going to happen.
The bonus will make your Rejuv splash off onto someone else (but start with full duration). Meaning that if you are chain-rejuving, there’s a chance that an extra rejuv will suddenly appear on someone that you didn’t cast it on bridal jewelry. It’s a bonus; a freebie.
Ok, that’s all. I was just going crazy watching people misreading or misinterpreting the bonuses and having kittens over them. Calm down, re-read them, and make sure you use common sense when you interpret what they mean! 
Wait for the wording on both to be clarified, and then we’ll be able to judge how good the bonuses are.
Thanks for this. ” Forget your ego, and get the job done.” Now that’s a very useful tip! I learned a lot from reading your post.
thank you for the information

A very great post sir! This is something that would surely make a difference in honing one’s leadership skills. Thanks.
“Recruit people around you who are smarter than you are”. You see, that’s gonna be a problem. Apparently, those around me thinks that I’m not smart enough.
Great tips. What is your opinion on the saying “Leaders are born, not made”?
My sister forms at AIG. She same that they had to leave the incentives because otherwise they wouldn’t be competent to attract the hottest people to the corp. But my wonder is this: in light of what has happened over the last nine calendar months, what makes any of these people so smart? It seems to me that they aren’t as smart as they imagine they are. The people at the top are simply the greatest and brightest because they evidence us that.
