Across my career, I was fortunate to learn up-close from truly outstanding leaders and human beings. Of course, there’s also the opposite in everyone’s workplace: mediocre ‘role models’ providing plenty of memorable examples of how to not build, lead or ‘engage’ teams, demoralising them and missing business goals as a consequence. Those leaders you are happy to leave behind.
However, my latest blog post is about the former. Those truly impressive business leaders and mentors. The ones who invest in you. The ones who provide open, honest feedback, not driven by selfish motifs, but a genuine desire to help you grow. The ones who have your back when you mess up. The ones you’d go miles out of your way for, to not let them down. Those ones.
Have you ever thought about striving to become a truly remarkable leader and mentor yourself? In my view, the strongest legacy a people leader can leave behind are the people they touched. Inspired. Engaged. Helped to prosper, thrive and succeed.

5 个月Such great insights, with my favorite being the goal of asking questions to help someone think differently. Our current thinking has created our current results, so to have someone ask us powerful questions that get us to think differently and allow us to consider new possibilities is invaluable!
