[FLR] Here’s how to work as collaborative leaders

Happy Friday,

Like all fast-growing organizations, let me confess that we have challenges & opportunities.

Our leadership team is evolving; we have new roles, projects & team members are developing new skills.

We are in a fortunate scenario, we have many new client partners & our existing clients are using more of our services.?

Our key challenge is finding ways to continue to provide excellent services for our partners, protect our culture & grow our practice.

Leading within that context is much like a Rubix cube. It is complex, and as you move things around, you are trying to get all sides working collaboratively while honoring the different teams.

Three principles I have found helpful with this phase.

• It’s what’s right, not who’s right.
• It’s our team, not “my” team.
• We need to take smart risks.?

These principles help us with keeping the main thing the main thing. They help us with decisions making & anchor & keep us centred.

The journey from being a good leader to a great leader is built on simple principles, not on simple thinking.

Much like a Rubix cube, they are multifaceted & interlinked.

That’s what makes leadership such a wonderful journey.

Along the road with you,

Alan
