If your current job doesn't give you an opportunity, learn leadership through volunteering - you can and should add that to your resume. 1. Always make sure your team is that - a team. They should have a say in how things work and be able to offer their opinion to you. 2. You need to learn how to motive your team - especially if things are tough. 3. You need to learn to think ahead - where do you want your team to be at the end of the project? 4. You need to listen. Again, you need to listen 5. If you are asked by your team to take an action, take it. Or make it happen, or explain to them why you could not make something happen. Be honest and open.

Dear Ahmed,

I agree with Mr. Emad Mohammed that you gain the most experience as you work. Besides, I think, it is also important to consciously improve your knowledge. Management trainings can help a lot with that with experienced trainer(s). In our company managers and manager candidates are selected and sent to a Talent program where they attend a series of trainings. Main topics are as follows:

  • Setting up goals; mission-vision-values
  • Management styles (autocratic, burocratic, democratic, etc.); it also gives an overview on which fits in given situations/teams
  • Team dynamics (what steps go teams through when they are set up or there are bigger changes) forming, storming, norming, performing
  • Assertive communication
  • Conflict management
  • Daily work management, delegation
  • Personality types and people management (incl. career management for team members)
  • Feedback and motivation
  • Change management

I hope it helped. You can also find a lot of books in the topic.

Have a great day,

Gábor
