When it comes to business idols Donald Trump has always been a controversial figure, and now it's more apparent than ever before as the world gets used to the shocking news of his presidential election win.

He's known for his aggression as a businessman, and that's been a major source of anxiety for those against his presidency campaign.

Revolutionising his leadership style

To make it as a successful president - one who doesn't accidentally trigger world war three with an ill-timed rant - he's going to have to significantly change his leadership style and embrace a more tactful, diplomatic approach.

His surprisingly restrained victory speech  certainly suggests he's capable of it.

In solidarity with his efforts to develop his leaderships skills, there's no better time than now to re-evaluate your own and set about making some improvements that'll benefit your career.

But whilst his learning process will be performed under intense public scrutiny in front of the world's media, you've got much more room for manoeuvre.

Here are our top tips for changing your management style for the better.

#1: embrace further training opportunities

With his lack of practical experience working in politics, the phrase ‘thrown in at the deep end' seems an apt way of describing Trump's first steps as president. Of course, he'll have plenty of aides on hand to help, but learning as you go will likely be his motto.

Whilst you'll also pick up new skills throughout your career, earning accredited qualifications on the side is a great way of staying on top of the latest industry developments - a luxury that Trump doesn't have.

Nowadays there are online degrees on offer in leadership and business management, so there are plenty of suitable choices with scope to study around your existing schedule.

#2: practise effective listening

Watching Trump and Hilary's debates it's obvious he's not always the best at listening to the opinions of others - it's something he's got to work on.

You also need to ensure that you're fully hearing and understanding the needs of your employees, and part of that comes from being approachable. If people feel like they can't come to you with a problem or question you'll soon fall out of touch with what's going on in your workplace.

Employ an open-door policy to encourage staff to come forwards and make sure you're practising the art of effective listening.

#3: work on your people skills

Basically, as our next US president is yet to learn, rubbing people up the wrong way is a recipe for failure. To build a cohesive and productive team of employees you must know how to talk to them.

Understanding how to motivate everyone to work to their full potential requires significant emotional intelligence. You need to figure out when a tough approach is best and when to hold back, and be able to decide if one-on-one feedback or group analysis is more appropriate.

Practice makes perfect, but researching communicative and motivational tactics is a good place to start.

As with Trump's presidency, patience is key as you attempt to transform your leadership style. Change won't happen overnight, so take your time and focus fully on making the most of the learning process.
