The First Steps

Having a great idea, and assembling a team to bring that concept to life is the first step in creating a successful business venture. While finding a new and unique idea is rare enough; the ability to successfully execute this idea is what separates the dreamers from the entrepreneurs. We at IKE Electric have always tried to encourage our Management to take steps in taking responsibilities & action to lead the Company to never ending heights.

What We Strive For

Honesty

Whatever ethical plane you hold yourself to, when you are responsible for a team of people, its important to raise the bar even higher. Your business and its employees are a reflection of yourself, and if you make honest and ethical behavior a key value, your team will follow suit.

Ability to Delegate

Its important to remember that trusting your team with your idea is a sign of strength, not weakness. The key to delegation is identifying the strengths of your team, and capitalizing on them.

Communication

Being able to clearly and succinctly describe what you want done is extremely important. If you can't relate your vision to your team, you won't all be working towards the same goal.

Positive Attitude

Keep the office mood a fine balance between productivity and playfulness.If your team is feeling happy and upbeat, chances are they won't mind staying that extra hour to finish a report, or devoting their best work to the organisation.

Creativity

As a leader, its important to learn to think outside the box and to choose which of two bad choices is the best option. By utilizing all possible options before making a rash decision, you can typically reach the end conclusion you were aiming for.

Ability to Inspire

Being able to inspire your team is great for focusing on the future goals, but it is also important for the current issues. When you are all mired deep in work, morale is low, and energy levels are fading, recognize that everyone needs a break now and then. Acknowledge the work that everyone has dedicated and commend the team on each of their efforts. It is your job to keep spirits up, and that begins with an appreciation for the hard work.

Sense of Humor

Morale is linked to productivity, and it's the job of the team leader to instill a positive energy. We are constantly learning to find the humor in the struggles, our work environment is a happy and healthy space, where our employees look forward to working in, rather than dreading it. At IKE Electric, we place a huge emphasis on humor and a light atmosphere. Our office is dog friendly, and we really believe it is the small, light hearted moments in the day that help keep our work creative and fresh. One tradition that we like to do and brings the team closer is we plan a fun prank on all new employees, on their first day. It breaks the ice and immediately creates that sense of familiarity.

Confidence

Keep up your confidence level, and assure everyone that setbacks are natural and the important thing is to focus on the larger goal. Your team will take cues from you, so if you exude a level of calm damage control, your team will pick up on that feeling. The key objective is to keep everyone working and moving ahead.

Commitment

There is no greater motivation than seeing the boss down in the trenches working alongside everyone else, showing that hard work is being done on every level. It's important to show your commitment. You want to create a reputation for not just working hard, but also be known as a fair leader. Once you have gained the respect of your team, they are more likely to deliver the peak amount of quality work possible.
