“To win in the marketplace, you must first win in the workplace.”

That’s a quote from Doug Conant, CEO of Campbell’s Soup. And you, the business leader, can’t win in the workplace unless you understand what makes your employees perform at their best – and give them what they need to help the business succeed.

In this infographic, you’ll learn how to use good leadership skills to increase employee effectiveness and efficiency, promoting a more engaged workforce that will drive growth.

These 7 techniques will help you support and engage your employees, so they’re inspired to help the business succeed.

And remember - you maximise productivity when there’s two-way communication. Want to inspire people with personal leadership development plans? Ask employees what is it about the business that makes them look forward to work in the morning. Want to eliminate inefficient processes? Ask people on the front line what can be improved.

When you show that you value your employees’ opinions, you promote a productive, collaborative culture.  Good leadership skills make for motivated employees and loyal customers.
