True leaders are approachable. You want employees and/or organization members to feel comfortable talking to you. This allows you can keep the channels of communication open. Approachability is having people feel comfortable bringing either good news or bad news and having a leader who will listen to them.
Building Effective Teams
Building effective teams is more than forming, storming, norming, and performing. Leaders must be able to identify team member strengths and weaknesses, have that conversation with the group to place members in appropriate roles. In addition, leaders are able to identify areas of growth, "level" the team, and benchmark optimal productivity.
