Closing words from the Hiring Manager. As a leader at Xfinity Mobile, you need to be confident in your skills and ability to lead effectively, inspire employees and managers alike, by focusing on the following:
Delegation-Learning to accomplish things through others is an imperative part of effective leadership.
Communication-communication is one word for a whole host of skills: listening, creating clarity, body language and non-verbal cues, vocal tone and inflection, messaging and more.
Creativity-Creativity in a leadership role is about seeing people and situations through multiple lenses. A great leader has many strengths-among them being able to creatively approach problem identification and solving, inventiveness, brainstorming, and making connections.
Coaching & Development-The fundamental role of a great leader is developing more leaders. Believing in your directs and made them feel valued as a team member, gave them tough and candid feedback, put them in stretch assignments.
Decision Making-On good days the choices you make as a leader are easy. Most of the time, though? There are going to be tough calls to make, data to wade through, crises that pop up and unpopular decisions that need to be made. Learning how to make decisions quickly and confidently is important.
Teamwork & Collaboration-if you're rowing the boat in the same direction, you'll get there a lot faster. Leadership is about bringing out the best in a group and creating an environment where each individual team member can share and create something great, together.
Drive-No matter what your leadership style is, you've got to want to succeed in a challenging role. The desire to achieve something great and the ability to sustain that desire over a long period of time is a career maker. Status quo is not for leaders; the drive for excellence is.
Patience-Things will never go as planned and will take twice as long as you expect. People will take longer to catch on to things than you anticipate. The ability to move things along when you can and understand when you can't is a much-needed leadership talent. Patience, Grasshopper.
Finally, Authenticity-good leadership is always about authenticity. It allows your team to do the same, and diverse and inclusive teams have more commitment, creativity and fun than those where people are pretending to be someone they're not.
