1. Trust with Caution<\/strong>
\nBe careful in choosing who you trust. In Game of Thrones, the audience is deliberately told not to trust anyone or risk getting killed. Though you may not risk being murdered, this is a good reminder to trust with caution. Do not give too much information to people you barely know, especially when it comes to managing or leading a company. However, trust is one of the keys to organizational and better performance. No one can lead a team without trusting anybody. So, as a leader, identify whom you should trust and how you can gain the trust of others in order to reach your goals.<\/p>\n

2. Lead by Example<\/strong>
\nNed Stark is known for being an honorable and just man in Game of Thrones. His character is one good example of being an effective leader. He always means what he says and does what he means. Ned puts his swords to his words and doesn\u2019t stay out of duty, no matter how unpleasant it could be. A true leader is someone who can be a role model in all aspects. You must be accountable and must embody the values you want others to follow. Remember, they are watching you so you should exemplify the best. Take responsibility and inspire greatness to those you lead.<\/p>\n

3. Discover Your Strength<\/strong>
\nTyrion Lannister might be small in stature, but he is known for being good at ruling behind the scenes. His fascinating ability to see everything in a different perspective is what makes him one of the best characters in the show. Though he had been humiliated throughout his life, he makes up for it in his wit and intelligence. Tyrion is driven by nothing other than his strengths and will to survive his own reality. As a leader, Tyrion should inspire you to discover your strengths and use them to achieve your goals. By understanding your strengths, you can focus on what you are good at and you can further develop your skills to become more effective in leading people.<\/p>\n

4. Stand Firm in Your Convictions<\/strong>
\nThe manipulative, brilliant strategist and stoic commander, Tywin Lannister, urges you to stand firm in your convictions. He is known for his unfettered and dominant attitude to ensure that the Lannister legacy lives on. He rules based on what he thinks is right and never allow anyone to deter his decisions. More often than not, leaders are either making decisions with other people or their decision impacts others. Being a leader you are bound to make decisions for the good of all and not only for yourself. Learn how to stand firm in your convictions. Do not let the personal choices of others make you doubt on your own.<\/p>\n

5. Know Your Worth<\/strong>
\nDaenerys, the mother of dragons, knows exactly what she deserves and what she dreamed of. Despite the struggles she has overcome, Daenerys never underestimated herself. She has no training in commanding an army, but she gained confidence and strength to lead the Dothraki people after realizing her worth. As a leader you have to practice believing in yourself so others will trust you. Never underestimate the things that you can and cannot do as you lead people. Show what you can do and become better at it. Just like Daenerys, know how extraordinary you are and don\u2019t undervalue your worth. You are a leader so stand with conviction and act like one.<\/p>\n

6. Take Command<\/strong>
\nIn the fourth season of Game of Thrones, Jon Snow has proven his leadership skill. Snow is wise, compassionate, and a natural leader. Using his natural leadership, he led the Night\u2019s Watch in battle against the wildlings and successfully holds the Wall against overwhelming odds. Taking command is having the authority to direct people into strategic position. As a leader know how to guide others into action and not coerce them. Engage and energize the workforce through motivating them and earning their trust. Once you trust your people you can establish command by supporting behaviors that bring good results.<\/p>\n

7. Increase Your Knowledge<\/strong>
\nPetyr Baelish comes from humble origin, but because of his skills and knowledge on how to connect with people, he became one of the most powerful officials in the Seven Kingdoms. Knowledge is important in becoming a leader. Knowledge brings respect. If you are knowledgeable in leading people, it is easier for you to earn respect and trust from others.<\/p>\n

8. They Invest in Individuals\u2019 Strengths<\/strong>
\nGallup found that when an organization fails to focus on individuals\u2019 strengths, employee engagement plummets to 9%. Meanwhile, when leaders make individuals\u2019 strengths a priority,\u00a0employee engagement surges to 73%.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen may lead thousands, but they don\u2019t take those they command for granted. Whether they\u2019re commanding Free Folk or the Unsullied, these leaders take into consideration the individual strengths, preferences, and goals of each group.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

9. Their Team is Crucial to Their Success<\/strong>
\nGood leaders are nothing without the backing of a strong team.<\/p>\n

By the season finale of \u201cGame of Thrones,\u201d the Targaryen heir has a powerful squad in the form of Tyrion, Missandei, Grey Worm, Varys, Daario, Yara, and Theon. Without their hard work and expertise, she wouldn\u2019t currently be sailing to conquer Westeros.<\/p>\n

Up north, Jon Snow\u2019s got Sansa, Davos, and now the newly loyal Northern houses. Sansa provided the motivation and means to retake Winterfell. Davos is a source of reasonable, rational counsel. Now that the other lords are back in line, the North may actually stand a chance of surviving winter.<\/p>\n

Gallup finds that the best leaders surround themselves with top-performing teams that are adept in \u201cexecuting, influencing, relationship building, and strategic thinking.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

10. They understand the needs of others<\/strong>
\nGallup\u2019s poll found that followers react positively when their leaders exude \u201ctrust, compassion, stability, and hope.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow both foster strong emotions in their followers.\u00a0Daenerys set out to abolish slavery and break the wheel of history. Jon\u2019s main goal is helping the North \u2014 and humanity at large \u2014 survive the winter and the wars to come.\u00a0They both have a compelling story and innate charisma that allows them to connect with their growing number of followers.<\/p>\n
