Leadership Advice & Tips

1.  Are you comfortable in your leadership role?

If you answered yes....that might tell you that you are operating in your comfort zone.  The only place for you to reach your potential is outside of your comfort zone. 

Even if you don't have a mentor, boss or coach to push you out of your comfort zone -- you should be coaching yourself. 

2.  When was the last time you did something for the first time as a leader?  Confident leaders are thirsty to learn, and enjoy being around people who they can learn and grow from.  Just like athletes....when you compete against someone who is better than you skill-wise, it pushes you to be better.

Be curious and seek out others who are the best in their field and learn from them.  Read, take classes, and sharpen your knowledge and skills.  Work out your leadership muscles to be the best leader you possibly can be.....you owe it to yourself and your team!

A must read.  First, I suggest you to watch the video.

Great statement in this article:

"People are hard-wired, physically and emotionally, to want to work toward collective goals which they believe in. Unfortunately, building and maintaining these dynamic, honest relationships with staff and customers is hard work"

We have to as leaders disconnect to connect if we aspire to truly engage with our teams.  Put down the technology...its people first.
