Pexels.comLeadership is not easy. It is not for people who donโt know what they want for themselves.
Leadership is not for those who donโt believe that they have what it takes to make a difference in the world.
Leadership is for people who are not afraid to do what other people donโt want to do.
If you are comfortable with yourself, leadership is for you.
โIf you lead from your best self, you feel exellence and even elation within you.โ
โIf you are not able to enact courage to have a conversation or take action, the effects are significant.โ
โIf you practice self-awareness, you can more easily notice fear, pause for reflective sense-making, and act.โ
โAcknowledging when you donโt know something sets up conditions for receiving support.โ
โInspiring vision requires you to be a continuous student, learning from various outlets.โ
โRemember that every individual retains areas where they are not strong.โ
โBeing an inclusive leader means you donโt have to be the superhero. You donโt have to know everything and do everything.โ
โConrageous conversation mean being fearless in having direct conversations but in a thoughtful and gracious manner.โ
โAs an authentic leader, if you make a mistake, own it, and try to make things better.โ
โThe willingness to share of yourself in contextually appropriate and honest ways is important for buidling followership and building the next generation of leaders.โ
