Tips on how to develop great leaders…

1. Coach them up! Tailor your mentorship approach to fit each person you're working with.
2. Use assessments. The DISC assessment and Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team are two types of assessments that help individuals understand themselves and those around them. As they become more emotionally intelligent, their effectiveness as leaders will increase.
3. Involve your team in leadership discussions. Involve everyone on the team in discussions to ensure that each person contributes and practices articulating their thoughts.

Resources for developing your leadership skills and those of your team members.

“Five Levels of Leadership” by John Maxwell

Josh Christy, CEO, and Founder of Codelation, used this book to help elevate his leadership team.

“Co-Active Leadership” by Karen and Henry Kimsey-House

This book teaches that anyone who has a team reporting to them is in a position to exercise leadership.

It doesn't matter what your position in the company is—you're responsible for your behavior. If you're an individual contributor, you can take initiative and develop your leadership skills.
