Becoming a better manager, supervisor, or executive is a must for anyone trying to grow their career and their company. But to get there, you\u2019ll need the right leadership tools.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to some sources, we\u2019re already suffering a leadership crisis. In <\/span>DDI’s 2021 Global Leadership Forecast<\/span><\/a>, only 28% of HR professionals said they believe their company has high-quality leadership. Fifty-seven percent of employees have quit because of their boss, says data from <\/span>DDI’s Frontline Leader Project<\/span><\/a>. And according to a <\/span>2020 SHRM survey<\/span><\/a>, 84% of U.S. workers say “poorly trained people managers create a lot of unnecessary work and stress.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Below, we\u2019ve rounded up 20 essential leadership tools that can help anyone better manage and inspire their teams.<\/span><\/p>\n

18 Leadership Tools that Every Remote Team Manager Needs<\/span><\/h2>\n

Mentorship<\/b><\/h3>\n

Mentorship can be a gamechanger for any professional. Mentors serve as role models and are within the same organization (or at least industry) as you and have achieved specific skills or roles that you wish to achieve, too. Your mentor can guide you through your career journey and be a resource anytime you have questions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where can you find a mentor? Usually, opportunities for mentorship will arise naturally as you network within your company. If you think about a more senior leader within your industry with whom you have a sense of camaraderie, you may realize you already have a mentor, even if you haven\u2019t asked them to be.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t been able to identify potential mentors at your company, many professional societies have their own mentoring programs, where they match junior members with more senior members. Start seeking societies or clubs based within your industry and inquire about mentoring programs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Executive Coaching<\/b><\/h3>\n

Coaching is different from mentoring. The biggest differences are that a coach isn\u2019t necessarily in the same role you wish to be in or has any experience with that role. A coach also doesn\u2019t tell you what to do so much as help you explore what you want to do by asking you questions that lead to greater awareness and realization. And lastly, you typically pay a coach, whereas you don\u2019t pay a mentor.<\/span><\/p>\n
