George (2015) identifies 5 elements of leadership, self-awareness, values, sweet spot, support team, and integrated life (George, 2015). All these elements are very important in the journey to authentic leadership. Additionally, communication, change, and trust are elements that will help leaders to lead effectively and successfully.
Effective communication is an important element that all leaders need to lead a team. Without effective communication teams may fail and intended outcomes may not be produced. Van Wart et al. (2019) describes 7 elements of leadership including communication. Effective communication included clarity, lack of unintended messages, and avoidance of information overload. They proposed that effective communication by leaders results in positive outcomes such as higher productivity and employee satisfaction (Van Wart et al., 2019). ONeil (2001) explains that self-awareness is not enough for effective leadership, communication to others is as important.
Communication moves in 2 directions: inward and outward. Externally, the leader must act as a synthesizing machine, constantly projecting the purpose of the organization out to possible partners, clients, stakeholders, and even enemies and gathering from them the vital information that is needed to alter and redirect strategy. As this evolves, it must be communicated inwardly, sharing with those who are being led what is to be done and, even more important, why it is to be done. This usually means changing complex reality into simple messages that explain and motivate (ONeil, 2001).
The ability of leaders to communicate with their dependents and the ability to allow open communication from their dependents back is an important element in effective and successful leadership.
As a leader you are faced with constant change. The ability to manage change is another important element of leadership. Van Wart et al. (2019) describes how effective change management skills result in positive outcomes. Effective change management includes pre-planning transitions, monitoring success, and refining technology upon implementation (Van Wart et al., 2019). ONeil (2001) explains how in healthcare leadership the ability to manage change is an important element for effective management. Health care leaders must manage change in a way that can be sustained in the future as well as in the present. The ability to anticipate conflict and manage it well are essential in managing change and effective leadership (ONeil, 2001). The ability to manage change as a leader is important because things are constantly changing, and effective change leadership will yield positive outcomes.
Establishing trust with a team as a leader is another element that will determine successfulness. A team that does not trust its leader or one another will likely fall apart and wont work as one, instead as individuals. Van Wart et al. (2019) explains how trustworthiness is an essential element for leadership. Trustworthiness such as creating a sense of trust in a leader, exercising professionalism, maintain work-life balance expectations, ensuring diversity, and fostering collaboration created positive outcomes in the workplace (Van Wart et al., 2019).
