You're striving to establish authority with your team. How can you maintain a friendly approach?

Écouter activement les préoccupations et idées des membres de l'équipe. Communiquer clairement et de manière transparente. Respecter chaque membre de l'équipe équitablement. Encourager et reconnaître les efforts et les succès. Être disponible pour aider et soutenir. Donner l'exemple en termes de comportement. Faire preuve d’empathie pour comprendre et aider à surmonter les défis. Encourager le développement professionnel et personnel. Utiliser l'humour de manière appropriée. Impliquer l'équipe dans la prise de décision.

Establishing authority can be tricky, because a lot of people perceive it as a gesture of intimidation. It's important to maintain a friendly demeanor, whilst also being transparent with expectations and being professional at all levels of communication. That establishes a sense of respect and authority. Being humble and giving the team the space to express themselves is also important, as that builds a sense of trust.

Main thing I look for in my team is trust and confidence. If you show them you can lead base of trust and confidence everyone will follow you. You need them to trust you that you actually can do what you are asking them to do, they need to see and feel related to you in that. Confidence in your skills and knowledge by showing them they can also do it and achieve what you have achieved so far to be in that Leader position. Be open to have a friendly talk, they are as human as you, they have family and problems just as you do. Show them you care about they and they will care about you.

It's very important to clearly communicate with the team. Especially when it comes to work, expectations and the overall vision of a project. Half-baked information will always lead to breakdowns and the team can lose the sense of trust. Two-way communication is key and the team should be comfortable to approach you with their issues and solutions. Being receptible can be one of the biggest positives in establishing authority.

I've always followed a simple rule: The four C's. - Clear - Concise - Consistent Communication. Including these in my day to day supervisory roles has slowed me to establish authority, yes, but also mutual respect. It's important to make sure your employees understand the job as much as you do!

I believe the only way someone will understand what you are trying to say is speaking the same language. Im Not talking about English in general, but using the words they are familiar with, using every day situations and experiences they lived on. Use different ways to talk to them in a way they understand the point. If they turn around and ask the guy behind what you just said it means you did not connect and didn't communicate the objective clearly enough for them

As a leader, the best you can do for the team is be a constant source of encouragement and assurance. When the team has a sense of trust, it goes a long way to improve the overall performance and dedication. Appreciation where necessary is key to having a healthy team environment and constructive criticism is important. It's important to understand that critiquing someone's work can be tricky, so in order to not sound superficial and bossy, it's important to make them understand their POV for a better sense of judgement.

Everyone deserves the opportunity to grow, to show what one is capable of. Without fear of retaliation if the final result it's not satisfactory. In that case one as supervisor should already have a backup plan, a plan B in something doesn't come out as expected. That way you show your people it's not the end of the world, but to be honest and to learn what were their mistakes, and keep growing.

From the outset, we have established mutual respect as a team to understand when someone is expressing constructive criticism. We have also empowered teams to challenge unsafe acts by invoking ‘work safe procedures’ or ‘take five’ as standard practices to suspend a task temporarily. These procedures allow opportunities to be reassessed, established if core objectives will be met or missed within safe parameters available and also to hold everyone to account for their responsibilities within the team.

este punto es muy complejo, en general no se si es la idiosincracia del chileno pero al establecer algún tipo de vinculo los trabajadores en general por debajo de la linea de mando se atribuyen propiamente comportamientos permisivos

One thing I find helpful is effective communication between you and your team & the team’s goal . Always lead by example by doing something you may not always want to do and not for recognition but so that you might impact others to start doing the same , taking initiative. Always be kind and understanding! Prepare a meeting weekly or monthly to ensure every one knows their position and expectations for the month .

In all the points this article hits on, be consistent. If your consistency ever varies for any reason, it will be quickly noticed by your team and those above you. Your integrity comes into question.
