As famed NFL coach and executive Vince Lombardi once said, “Leaders aren't born, they are made.” 伟大的领导者努力工作以实现他们的目标。 They invest in the experiences and the education needed to become the best they can be – and moreover, to lead others in doing the same. 如果你想知道如何成为一个伟大的领导者，在未来的雇主中脱颖而出，或者在你目前的工作中攀登职业阶梯，你必须培养成功的领导技能。 While good leadership may start from within, great leadership requires certain skillsets – skills that are applicable across a variety of industries, organizations, departments, and teams – such as:

• 沟通技巧
• 解决问题
• 有效的决策
• 诚信与信任
• 建立人际关系

当今雇主最看重的领导技能是什么？

1. 沟通技巧

Leaders are in constant communication with others – their employees, partners, customers, and other managers. 因此，拥有出色的沟通技巧对成功至关重要。 雇主正在寻找能够清晰简洁地表达信息、目标、任务和结果的领导者。 你必须准备好与个人以及大型团队和部门进行一对一的沟通。 You must master all forms of communication, too – from in-person and phone conversations, to professional email and social media messages. 沟通也不总是谈论。 良好的沟通者是那些倾听能力强的人。 You should be able to listen to your employees' needs and concerns, and establish a method in which employees can easily communicate with you. 如今雇主们看重的其他相关沟通技巧还包括：

• 积极倾听
• 业务讲故事
• 促进小组讨论
• 公众演讲
• 书面交流
• 语言交流
• 清晰和简洁
• 演讲技巧
• 表达对他人的同理心

2. 解决问题

领导力的核心是解决部门或组织内部问题的责任。 这可能是内部问题，比如员工之间的问题，也可能是客户或竞争对手的外部问题。 作为一名领导者，你必须能够冷静地处理冲突，全面评估形势，理性地解决问题。 雇主在现代领导者身上寻找的解决问题的能力包括：

• 创造力，跳出思维定势
• 批判性思维的
• 正确的判断
• 开放的思想
• 分析技巧
• 概念化
• 战略规划
• Ability to think on your feet, which brings us to…

3. 有效的决策

当一个领导者面对一个问题或困难的情况，他或她必须能够快速和批判性地思考。 People depend on leaders' ability to think on their feet, act decisively, and make the best possible decision for their organization, under any type of circumstance. 快速有效的决策需要信心。 因此，雇主正在寻找对自己的想法和将想法付诸行动的能力充满信心的领导者。 要做出自信的决定，你必须具备分析能力。 你必须有能力全面有效地、不带偏见地从各个方面分析情况，然后制定行动计划。 一个伟大的领导者总是会支持他们的决定，并愿意在必要时为他们辩护。 如果你能做到这一点，那么反过来，你也会获得雇主和团队成员的尊重。

4. 诚信与信任

为了获得雇主和雇员的尊重，你必须首先能够赢得他们的信任。 信任是伟大领导的必要条件。 当人们信任你时，他们也会信任你的想法和决定。 他们会跟随你，在你需要的时候倾听你。 那么，如何培养可信度呢？ You can gain others' trust by displaying integrity, honesty, and humility in all that you do. 诚信意味着做正确的事，有良好的工作、商业和个人道德。 诚实意味着对你的员工诚实、透明、开放。 谦逊意味着认识到你的发言权不是唯一的方式，总是有反馈的空间，你的员工有很大的优势可以为你的团队做出贡献。 As Stephen Ufford, founder of Trulioo explains: “Humility enables effective leaders to appreciate others’ strengths and contributions, learn from constructive criticism, take risks for the greater good, and empower others to learn and develop. Engaged employees feel included and have a sense of belonging, motivating them to go beyond the call of duty.” This, he deems, is one of the most valuable leadership skills.

5. 建立人际关系

建立人际关系 is a key part of any business, whether it's a healthcare facility, retail company, or non-profit organization. 你必须与你的客户、商业伙伴以及你的员工团队建立良好的关系。 你还必须鼓励你的团队建立彼此之间的关系。 That's what great leaders do. 他们有能力建立和维护一个协作的个人团队，朝着共同的目标努力。 他们也有能力与客户和合作伙伴建立牢固和信任的关系，在需要的时候依赖他们。

6. 灵活性和多功能性

现在，企业（及其领导者）比以往任何时候都更需要灵活。 他们需要能够适应出现的情况，以及不断变化的技术需求。 就在最近，许多公司被要求制定和实施针对COVID-19大流行的远程工作战略。 但这只是你在领导角色中可能遇到的许多挑战中的一个例子。 你需要灵活地应对任何变化，从容应对，在需要的时候创造性地思考。 为了达到同样的目的，你还必须灵活运用你的技能。 According to Adrienne Tom, the Executive Resume Master of 职业生涯的印象, “Versatility across multiple areas of business is proving to be a coveted leadership trait. 单一专业知识的时代一去不复返了； 企业渴望技能的多样性和灵活性。 The greater the exposure to various job functions, the easier it can be for leaders to navigate the ever-evolving world of business, adapt to changing business demands, and provide beneficial solutions.” 与灵活性和多功能性相一致，雇主寻找的相关领导技能包括：

• 学习能力
• 对问题的快速响应
• 适应性
• 即兴创作
• 对反馈持开放态度

7. 授权和优先排序

要成为一个伟大的领导者，你也必须是一个伟大的管理者。 And to be that, you must be able to delegate and prioritize tasks – for both yourself, and your team. Delegation requires leaders to be respectful and aware of team member's schedules and bandwidth. 它还要求领导者挑战员工，推动他们突破新的界限，让他们对每一项任务负责，并自始至终激励他们。 雇主非常重视和寻找委派技能，例如：

• 时间管理
• 质量保证
• 有效的解释技巧
• 绩效评估
• 培训技能
• 协作和头脑风暴
• 项目管理
• 人员管理

8. 有效领导他人的能力

领导不是由头衔来定义的，也不是由个人特征或特质来定义的。 Rather, leadership is defined by a person's ability to lead and influence others to do great work. As Ronald Reagan once said, “The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things.” 到底要怎么做呢？ The following leadership skills reflect a person's ability to not only manage people, but to inspire them and to motivate change.

• 目标发展 – A great leader sets goals for employees.
• Determination – 没有决心，领导者就无法实现他或她的目标。
• 赋权 – A leader should empower their team to accomplish their goals.
• 榜样领导 – A great leader shows others how to be great leaders, which may mean working long hours, being open to feedback, and showing respect for all employees.
• 同理心 – 同理心 allows leaders to understand their employees' needs and feelings, which is important in facilitating change.
• 指导 – Being a leader means being a mentor. Your employees should be able to come to you for advice, and you – as a mentor – should be open to their questions and eagerness to learn.
