No one day is ever the same and working with people brings its own set of complexities including poor attitude, personality differences, taking initiative, maintaining momentum and developing trust – both amongst the team and for the team to trust you.
When we identify these challenges, there may be a tendency to associate the issue with “them”, the individual, the team. This is a simple and small way to look at an issue when in reality, at least 50% of the time the truth will often be aligned with “you”. The way you communicate, the way you lead, the way you delegate, the way you set a task.
At Business By Design, we believe there are two core components of leadership:
There needs to be a balance between these two components because the better you are at self-leadership, the more effective you will become at team leadership.
What are some ways you can improve your personal leadership to be the change you want to see in your team?
To truly be the best leader you can assessing your own leadership is important and that is why we developed the free ‘Leadership Optimiser’. It is designed to help you identify where to focus your leadership.
