CREATING SUCCESSFUL
EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIPS

Leadership skills are important for any job seeker. But first let’s clarify that leadership is not about having the title or authority. It is about influencing others to follow the vision or idea and inspiring them to believe in themselves so the goals can be accomplished. Hiring managers look for evidence of these skills when hiring for future growth as well succession planning. You need to be able to show the employer that you have what it takes to lead a team and get the job done. While leadership skills are important, you do not need to be a manager or supervisor to start cultivating these skills.  You can develop leadership skills in the workplace by taking initiative and thinking long-term about what would be beneficial for your department and company. For example, you might brainstorm ideas for streamlining processes or developing new procedures. By committing to doing work that goes beyond your core job duties, you can demonstrate your leadership potential and set yourself apart from other employees.
