Proper Leadership - Workplace Dilemmas

Proper leadership can help in diffusing potential volatile issues of miscommunication. With email communication in the workplace it can be very easy for something to come across wrong when sent between co-workers. Even within verbal communication there is the possibility of employee mis-understandings to occur. Proper leadership will help in working through this dilemma in leading by example. Leaders who have an open door and regularly communicate with their staff at their level demonstrate the importance of open and honest communication and the necessity to address any miscommunications as soon as they come up.

Another area that proper leadership can address is in workplace motivation. Depending on the work environment it can be difficult for employees to get and stay motivated about the job they are doing. Proper leaders will seek to understand and motivate their staff within the context of the situation they are in. Motivating through encouragement and challenge in a way that does not degrade or de-value the employee will help to address the issue of a lack of motivation at work.
