Young leader at workplace is not as hard as you think; they consider their age as the setback and maintain a great working relationship while projecting into success.

Here are 10 ideas that will mold you into a successful young leader who will keep their team happy.

1. Be optimistic: Positive vibes always work, as it will work out for your team to grow, as well as build their trust in you. It is a long term process, and you can see the advantages in the longer run. Don’t spoon-feed but ask your team to actively search the solution that will grow your team’s self-efficacy. Negativity brings hatred, revenge and the members within your team will unite against you rather than to unite with you.

2. Be a good listener: When it comes to maintaining a strong social and physical presence with your team, listening is more important than talking. Be consistent and make sure that you are always ready to offer team help, actively spend time with them, track their progress, sits with them and if you want to deliver your team make sure you need to deliver to them as well.

3. Don’t suppress the progress of your teammates: Many times it might happen that you may even delegate some of your work to them and allow them to progress. There will be some who achieve to aim more and some who flourish within their role, as a great leader you have to let go of your fear of job security and develop a self-maintaining team.

4. Don’t be biased: It’s time to show that you are consistent and fair to the whole team. The easiest way to do is do not cause the imbalance within the team.

5. Do business with pleasure: Mixing business with pleasure with your team outside the work gives you the great opportunity to know them but just make sure you maintain a decent distance otherwise it will be very difficult to be a stable young leader.

6. Follow the trail of Self-Actualization: It’s a selfish point but let’s face it you want to develop and progress as much as your teammates. Have a clear professional and personal goals and set targets for yourself to achieve them in order to see what works for you.

7. Looking for the opportunity: It’s very important to develop and progress for yourself as well as for the embers of your team. Choose your own style and as a leader, you should be constantly exploring for talent and assessing their strengths and weaknesses, as a result, they will respect and trust you irrespective of the young age.

8. Prepare yourself: People will start taking you serious when you have a clear impact and direction to move, irrespective department or area you work in. Understanding the company culture may prevent you causing the initial friction and define the role within the company. What company expects from you and what you need to achieve within yourself helps you to be precise.

9. Set rules for you as well as for your team: Spending most of your time with the team you may begin to see them as friends more than colleagues which may cause some problems with regard to your professional relationships. Set some boundaries that you expect your team to follow. Be informative, clear and concise if you wish that your team should follow and respect you for the same.

10. Understand the current culture of the company: Not necessary that a manager is a leader. Create the first impression and be the lasting one. To understand the company it’s very important to comprehend how the company works and adapt to the company culture in order to determine your suitability.
