Ten signs you’re ready to be a leadership, or not

Ten Signs You're Ready For A Leadership Job
1. You're ready for a leadership job if you are already liked and respected by your teammates. That means they know you are responsible, ethical and professional. Sometimes people are popular at work because they tell good jokes and goof off in amusing ways, but that doesn't make them leadership material.
2. You're ready for a leadership job if you're interested in how the pieces of your organization fit together, and always asking questions about how the company works, how it makes money and how it competes in the marketplace.
3. You're ready for a leadership job if you've already learned from the good and bad managers you've worked for. From the good managers, you learned what real leaders do  and the bad managers taught you what a real leader would never, ever do!
4. You're ready for a leadership role if you're game to learn much more about yourself and other people, and you're willing to look in the mirror as you learn. Leadership is not easy and it's not always fun. To be a leader, you have to be humble enough to learn  from your employees. A leader who thinks they have all the answers will never gain the respect of their teammates -- and without that, they're toast.
5. You're ready for a leadership job if you're excited to forge stronger relationships with other departments in your company, and look for opportunities to collaborate with people throughout your firm.
6. You're ready for a leadership job if people ask your advice all the time, because they know you understand how the department works (and you're kind enough to share what you know).
7. You're ready for a leadership job if customers or other people outside your department already assume you're a manager, because you're well-informed and helpful way beyond your own job description.
8. You're ready for a leadership job if you have ideas for better ways to design work processes to save time, energy and money.
9. You're ready for a leadership role if you like listening to your co-workers and helping them problem-solve. When they want to talk to you, you're pleased to stop and chat. It's not an annoyance. There is nothing worse than a supervisor who tells employees "I don't have time for this!" when they have questions about the work.
10.  You're definitely leadership material if you see the potential in everyone, and get satisfaction out of encouraging people to step into their power.
Ten Signs You're Not Ready For A  Leadership Job
1. This is not a good time for you to pursue a leadership job if the main reason you want the promotion is because it pays more than your current job pays.
2. You're not ready for a leadership job if you care about the job title, the private office or other perks more than you care about the role itself.
3. You're not ready  for a leadership role if you want the job primarily because it will get you off the phones or ease your workload.
4. You're not ready to step into management if you want the job mainly so you can tell other people what to do.
5. This is not the right time for you to step into leadership if you already know which employees you're going to discipline or terminate the minute you have the power to do it.
6. You aren't ready for a leadership job if you feel that employees are generally lazy, sneaky or entitled.
7. A leadership job is not right for you if you have a hard time speaking up when you feel strongly about something  even if you know your  company would benefit from your input.
8. Don't pursue the supervisor job if you aren't willing to be open and trusting with the employees on your team. If you would feel uncomfortable talking with them about their personal struggles at work  challenges with the workload, their schedule or other employees for instance  don't step into a leadership role. A supervisor job is a coaching job. If you don't want to coach people, it's not the right job for you.
U9. You are not cut out for a leadership role right now if you feel that the company's management is clueless or incompetent. If you don't respect them, don't take a step up in their hierarchy.
10. Don't take the leadership job because you think it looks easy. I can guarantee you that it won't be easier than the job you have now. Supervisors lie awake at night worrying about issues their employees may not even know are brewing. They take the frustrations of their employees on their own shoulders  along with their customers,' vendors' and managers' headaches.
