Robert Sirman
Top 10 Tips on Effective Leadership

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.
