The role of a leader is to handle strategy, inspire the team, and manage resources. An effective leader should have aptitudes in all of these areas, but when people talk about "leadership effectiveness," they typically refer to their ability to inspire the team. After all, people are much more nuanced and difficult to manage than any other resource in an organization – and they're also the foundation for growth.
Develop a leadership mindset at the beginning of an employee's career, rather than in the middle or near the end of a career. Empower your employees to proactively identify challenges, understand norms and differences, and provide growth opportunities. Develop your employees from the start.
