La Persona del Líder | Verónica Vásquez | TEDxPUCdeChile

Leadership Principles - Leadership is defined as the ability to influence others to achieve a goal, requiring focus on both task-related aspects (processes, productivity, KPIs) and relationship-related aspects (people, work environment, motivation) [1] - Leadership is developed rather than innate, emphasizing the importance of learning and developing behaviors, even if they initially feel unnatural [1] - Effective leadership depends on the context, culture, type of collaborator, and historical moment, requiring adaptability to challenges like digital transformation, AI, and environmental concerns [2] - The post-pandemic era presents unique leadership challenges, including managing hybrid work models and adapting to evolving societal expectations regarding acceptable behaviors [2] Key Competencies for Leaders - Essential competencies for leaders are grouped into four categories: personal management (self-leadership), interpersonal skills, management skills, and leadership skills [3] - Core leadership skills include vision and purpose, alignment, strategic orientation, and developing collaborators, which are crucial for effective leadership [3] Self-Awareness and Development - Self-awareness is fundamental for effective leadership, requiring individuals to understand their strengths and weaknesses [4] - Leaders often overestimate their abilities, especially those in higher positions, highlighting the importance of seeking feedback [7][8] - To gain sincere feedback, leaders should ask what others need from them to improve their work, rather than directly asking for performance evaluations [11] - Individuals should focus on self-management by understanding their strengths, values, and how they perform, and then determine their contribution [12][13]
