Thoughts on Leadership
In her book, “Dare to Lead,” Brene Brown defines a leader as “anyone who takes responsibility for recognizing the potential in people and ideas, and has the courage to develop the potential.”
In this blog I will share some of my thoughts on leadership and the thoughts and ideas of those I value. Please enjoy.
The Power In A Question
A business coach is neither your consultant nor your friend. The coach is your guide. Because the answers are usually within you and a coach who is listening carefully can help guide you to the answers below the surface.
Change The Story You Tell Yourself
The affirmational nudge. People sometimes see something in you that you can’t see. That’s because we become the stories we tell ourselves
Be Kind to Yourself and Others
Learn to be true to yourself and kind. We all make mistakes. Let’s not wallow in them or constantly criticize ourselves for them.
Quicker is Better
Simple communication leads to better outcomes. By using simple language, avoiding jargon, and eliminating unnecessary words, we can ensure that our message is clear, concise, and effective
“If no mistake you have made, a different game you must play”
Brown notes that the default move of many leaders is to cover up with armor instead of acknowledging they might not have all the answers or might not look smart enough.
‘I’ll Make It’
“When making any decisions, leaders rely on instinct, judgment, and perspective.”
