Leaders: This is for you, too!

Leaders: This is for you, too! Because leadership has become w-a-y more complicated.

Your MBA* Is Not Enough.

*nor your BA, BS, JD, 10-years, or title.

Intellect is insufficient. Leading amid the complexities of work today requires presence, deep insight, vision, and empathy that drives connection with your team as humans first. It’s the only way to activate their purpose, motivation, and strengths. Learning to marshall your inner resources and use your intuition to unearth new trends and opportunities is a tremendous edge amid rapid change.

You can’t just power your way through anymore. The pace of work is extraordinary. The threat of burnout for you and your team is ever-present. Moods are contagious, more so than viruses. If you’re stressed, your team will be stressed. It is vital to know how to activate calm and presence, maintain balance and perspective, and know what you need to thrive.

Authenticity is king. People can sniff out ego-driven decisions, ulterior motives, values conflict. You’ve got to do your inner work if you want to keep good people on your team. Without looking at your unhelpful habits and patterns, they will undermine your efforts. Think: having difficulty delegating; being overly critical or perfectionistic with your team, demotivating them; having difficulty setting boundaries, and saying YES too often, burying your team in too much work. The sections… will support you to build these skills along the way.
