Leadership Daily
This is for everyone who is interested in Leadership. Every day I share a story inspired by something in my week, along with a thought on how you might integrate this into your life.
Pay attention to the perspectives
How is your response to different perspectives impacting your team?
What has them working around problems?
Look for the conditions that have them not resolving problems.
Telling them they’re empowered won’t make it so
Empowerment doesn’t happen because a leader says someone is.
Embrace your awesome flaws
You’ll get much further in life if you stop protecting your ego and embrace the fact you’re flawed.
What if you’re wrong?
Have you noticed how often you’re right when you tell yourself something is impossible?
Some failure is inevitable
Innovation, creativity, and discovery aren’t possible without some failure along the way.
Are you committed to your plans?
When the plans you’ve created aren’t going as well as you hoped, do you stay committed or change the plan?
Invite discussion
When you invite discussion, you invite people to take responsibility.
Mistakes are the limit of your best
Do you sometimes beat yourself up when you make a mistake?
How often do you acknowledge the people around you
Spend time every week, acknowledging those who are following you.
When you ignore a problem
Do you ever look at a problem and decide to ignore it until it goes away?
When doing their best truly is their best
When people are doing their best with what they have, you need to start by acknowledging the job they’re doing.
