Leading: Regardless of Title
|
Welcome Back, Reader It's been said... but it deserves repeatingYes, it feels like it would be easier if only you had THAT title. But I've witnessed too many who get THAT title... and still think they need the next one to make a difference. The truth is that it was never about the title. No one ELSE can give you the permission that you believe you need to make an impact. If people look to you for advice... If they feel comfortable coming to you when there is an issue... If you make others feel seen, heard, and valued... Then you, my friend, are a LEADER! Regardless of your title, leadership is a skillset that you earn and learn. You will make mistakes, but by the virtue of trying and by acknowledging your errors, you will get better at it. It's called 'failing forward'. You earn the title of leader by building psychological safety and gaining (& giving) respect and trust from those around you. That's why they choose to come to you... not because of your job title. As a true leader, you will make an impact on those who work with you, for you, and above you. So even if you think you can't make a difference, I ask you not to discount the impact you have - right here, right now. You can impact the lives of others in so many ways. How do you choose to show up? We Need You and Your Leadership More Than EverYou are important... You are enough... You can make a difference... We need more leaders like you! 📩 Reader, looking for a coach? Reply with "I'm Ready!" 📩 Sharing is Caring!Forward this email to any corporate Leader who is interested in becoming an Empowered Leader.

Welcome Back, Reader New Yorker Cartoon by Kendra Allenby “At this point in your career, your only possible promotion is to management, where you will stop doing the work you love and use a skill set you don’t have and we don’t teach.” It would be funny, if it wasn't true As a leader who has had employees say they don't want to go into leadership but they still want to be recognized or promoted in some way, why does it have to be like this? ..."your only possible promotion is to management"....
Welcome Back, Reader It seems like everyone is burned out... And if you don't think you're burned out, every article you read tells you that you are! How do you know for sure? Sometimes all you have to do is ask your family or friends... they see it, they feel it. It has to do with how much energy you have left AFTER you leave the office. How often you feel that you HAVE to check in on work after hours... even if just for ONE quick thing. How truly PRESENT are you with your family and...
Welcome Back, Reader The Elusive Mystery of Balance... Honest vs. Kind Work vs. Personal Trust vs. Oversight Soft vs. Hard Skills Experience vs. Competency The list goes on and on and on... We may rebel against the majority to move the needle to one side or the other. We may consider ourselves (or others) weak or strong based on which side of the scale we favor. We may search for the happy medium, yet often find ourselves in a comfort zone leaning one way or the other. The reality is even...
