The workplace has changed drastically because of new technologies, trends, and the need for more efficiency. With these changes and the need for a new workforce, the skills needed by leaders have also changed. Here is a list of five modern organizational skills that leaders need to effectively lead their team.

Emotional intelligence

Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand the emotions and temperaments of others, as well as the ability to reflect on feelings and use this knowledge in making decisions. Some examples of emotional intelligence are self-awareness, empathy, motivation, confidence, and natural leadership. A leader with empathic and thoughtful leadership can be the most effective when it comes to attracting and retaining key staff.

Communication skills

Any leader desiring to succeed in these modern days must have the ability to communicate with each and every one of their team members and not lose focus. A leader with strong communication skills must be able to stay in contact with each worker and ensure that they are fully motivated. He is also expected to be an active listener to be able to solve problems and handle explosive situations calmly. It is also imperative to include one's team in the company's decision-making process. This ensures that team members understand what is expected of them and also allows them to feel a part of the company.

Innovation and Creativity

To stand out from the crowd, a good leader should encourage innovation and creativity in their team. Leading by example, a leader must constantly broaden his or her horizons so that they can see the problems of the industry and therefore come up with new ideas to solve them. This will result in the creation of a more productive workforce that is far more productive than most others.

Vision and purpose

To succeed in leadership, one must be able to have a compelling vision and provide the necessary direction to their subordinates. It is the leader's job to be able to see the bigger picture and inspire their team to go beyond what they thought was possible. By being able to lead the team in identifying their purpose and passion, they will work at their best and be able to achieve results.

Strategic thinking

Thinking that goes beyond the current situation and looks out into the future is one of the most important skills a modern-day leader can possess. For a leader to be able to do this, they must be able to look at trends and changes in their industry and take actions that will position their company for future success.

About Benjamin Suchil

Benjamin Suchil enjoys living in Forney, Texas, for several reasons. While being the fastest-growing city in its county, Forney maintains a strong sense of community values. Historical artifacts are abundant in this town and relay the proud history that can be found everywhere. Benjamin is an active member of his close-knit community and enjoys antiquing in his spare time. The “Antique Capital of Texas” earned its name because of its abundance of antique shops and quaint overtones, none of which would exist without the railroad.

In 1973, Texarkana, Arkansas, and Dallas, Texas became connected by the Texas and Pacific Railway. When construction began in the region now known as Forney, the town honored the railroad’s civil engineer by naming the post office after him. The community grew by the thousands, and commerce migrated along with housing.

Forney had developed into a bustling town by 1891, with more than 50 commercial establishments, including a bank, an opera house, and two hotels. Forney grew as ranch and agricultural goods increased. The plains that encircled the town were filled with native grass that produced pleasant, nutritious hay when cut and baled. For the following 50 years, “Forney Prairie Hay,” as it was called, was one of Forney’s most important exports. Once the hay supply was complete, it was replaced by cotton. Forney had eight cotton gins by 1910, the most of any Texas town of its size. Each autumn, 15 to 20,000 bales of cotton were ginned and delivered to cotton markets throughout the United States. Electricity and municipal water and sewage lines were finished during this period, making Forney one of the first minor Texas cities to receive these facilities. The late 1920s saw the opening of the new Dixie Highway (U.S. 80), which improved car mobility in this region. The Texas Interurban Rail Company opened the Dallas-Forney-Terrell rail route in 1923. This streetcar-type electric rail line ran through the center of Forney and functioned as an advanced commuter-type service for ten years.

Since then, small businesses have been encouraged and supported in Forney to keep the town successful while maintaining a hometown feel. Benjamin Suchil opened his business, Imperial Floor Rentals, relatively recently. He takes pride in knowing that his clients receive exceptional products and first-rate customer service. Among the items that Benjamin rents are performance stage backdrops, custom dance floors, bar/DJ scenescapes, cake/ceremony platforms, and vinyl graphics. For Ben, the client comes first. He is dedicated to bringing visions to life using an expert crew that adapts to the specific needs of each project.
