Creando lección...
1
Would you consider yourself a leader?
2
A leader is an admirable position to take up.
3
Leaders have power and they have more control over where they want things to go.
4
People look up to leaders and while they're given more responsibilities, they often reap more of the rewards.
5
But not every person can actually be a leader.
6
Leadership takes skills and hard work that do not always appeal to every person working towards their goals.
7
If you do want to step up and be a leader though, consider using some of these tips to help you stand out.
8
Tip number one, learn from other leaders.
9
Are there leaders that you admire?
10
You should try to learn from them.
11
There are plenty of books available that detail lessons from leaders throughout many industries throughout history, and the journeys that leaders take are not all fun and games.
12
Take some time to read about the failures, the obstacles, and the challenges that your favorite leaders have faced throughout time.
13
You may find some common lessons and experiences that will help you on your own journey to becoming a great leader.
14
Tip number two is that it takes work to build skills.
15
Leadership requires different skills depending on what industry you work in and what task you have at hand.
16
Talk to leaders in your industry
17
and learn what skills are necessary to get in the position
18
you want to see yourself in Then take the time to actually work
19
and build on those skills Leaders often have to work behind
20
the scenes to prepare themselves for a leadership role Even
21
if you're not being directly praised for any education
22
or development required to build your skills Know
23
that this work will pay off Tip number three is to believe
24
that you are a leader If you bring the energy of a leader to a group, the group will come to accept your position Before you walk in a room, prep yourself up and tell yourself that you are a leader That you're strong,
25
that you're confident, and that you have the skills to take on the toughest responsibilities.
26
People will be able to see whether or not you are a leader just by your body language, so your brain has to believe it first.
27
If you walk into a room with your head held high and your shoulders back, it will show confidence.
28
Proper posture is key to communicating what your position is to others.
29
Make yourself big and maintain strong eye contact and a strong handshake when introducing yourself to others.
30
If you come into a situation with confidence, people will naturally follow you and believe that you can take on the responsibilities.
31
Tip number four is to take up more tasks
32
if you can lend a helping hand if another leader is delegating tasks
33
that you know That you can excel in you should go ahead
34
and volunteer if you know a leader
35
that is really struggling to look for volunteers Go ahead
36
and step up the more you'd make yourself present in an organization
37
or a business or a team The more people will get to know you
38
and that they will know that they can rely on you Even
39
if you take on just small tasks at first eventually will build up to take on more
40
and more responsibilities Tip number five is to share your ideas
41
leaders have to be able to put a plan into place they have to have a vision
42
so don't be afraid to share your ideas with your team
43
or a group sharing your ideas is like equivalent to taking
44
up tasks the more you are present within a team
45
or a group the more people will turn to you even
46
if you don't have a solution yourself you can find ways
47
that your group can come up with a solution together try to ask questions
48
that gather information and lead your team towards a solution go ahead
49
and write these ideas down or have someone else write them down so
50
that you can have a document to refer later on in
51
the future tip Step number six is to actually listen to others.
52
Not all leaders are made with large mouths.
53
Before and as you start to take charge, listen to the people around you.
54
This is extremely important in leadership.
55
How do they feel about a situation?
56
What solutions and skills can they actually offer?
57
If you listen to other people, you can bring their ideas to the table and connect them with opportunities.
58
So first, in order to be a leader, you will need people to be able to follow you.
59
While some leaders can lead through fear and intimidation, you will get much further if your team truly believes they can benefit from following your lead.
60
Show them that they can benefit from you by providing them with responsibilities, opportunity, and positive validation.
61
Tip number seven is to learn how to delegate.
62
Leading is not equivalent to taking on every single task.
63
In order to get more things done and make your team feel valued, you need to learn how to delegate tasks.
64
Delegation requires planning and considering the skills of everyone on your team.
65
It also requires the trust that someone else can do something equally or even better than you can, and that also means humility.
66
Once you've gathered a list of tasks that needs to get done for a project to happen, see what you can assign to other people and who can actually do it in the best manner possible.
67
Always accept help from your team if they offer it, but be sure to follow up with the people who have taken on each task.
68
Also, something you should know is that sometimes people require training during the delegation process.
69
As an entrepreneur myself, sometimes it's much easier to spend 8 hours training someone how
70
to do something the right way than spending an hour each day fixing their mistakes for a whole year.
71
Tip number 8 is to treat other leaders with respect.
72
You might not be the only person trying to lead in your organization.
73
In fact, you may be working with someone who is an assigned leader.
74
So you should be respectful of the positions that everyone on your team has, even if you think that you could do a better job.
75
Many leaders earned their position without boasting or bragging about the work that they have done to establish that kind of leadership.
76
So don't undercut someone else's skills or their achievements just because you want to be a bigger leader.
77
If you're not already a leader, you should be patient, share your ideas, and step up when it's appropriate, and then eventually wait for a position to open up for you to become a leader.
78
And the last tip I have for you guys is to know that there are many different types of leaders.
79
It might sound like a cliche, but don't be afraid to be yourself when you're establishing yourself as a leader.
80
There's not just one type of leader, and your team may benefit from a group of leaders that have different management styles and different skills that help them lead.
81
Your group is most likely not a dictatorship, so share this stage with other leaders and find a way
82
that you can be your own type of leader to have the maximum benefit to your group.
83
Also, if you're interested in self -development and growing yourself or your business, I want to let you know about a mastermind group that I recently created, something called Practical Growth Academy.
84
If you're interested, I create weekly animated book summaries, actionable worksheets to go along with the summaries, and also a monthly mini -course of a topic that I think you'll find helpful.
85
So far, there's over 25 book summaries and 7 mini -courses on topics like productivity,
86
money management, social skills, and just other stuff that's really important and I think that can help you in self -improvement.
87
If you want to get immediate access to all of this, plus a link to a private Discord server where all the members share stories, ideas, and we help each other grow, you can check out the link in the description.
88
And if you sign up today, I will personally send you a $20 Amazon gift card, which means you profit $3 the first month
89
because the mastermind is only $17 a month with a discount below
90
and you can cancel any time if you don't enjoy it.
91
I just want to thank you guys so much for watching this video
92
and I hope it helps you become a better later.
93
I'll see you in the next video!

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
