We can all spot a bad leader. Most of you have already conjured up an image in your mind of that one boss you will never work for again.
But hopefully, you’ve had the chance to work with some really great leaders too.
When you compare them side by side, it’s so easy to see the difference.
But have you ever really looked at the things that make someone the kind of leader you want to work for??
I mean…really looked?
This is important. ? You want to be more like the best leaders you’ve known.
So look at the theme here…The best leaders are…
Leaders who build trust.?
Leaders who you know you can count on.
Leaders who are grounded under pressure.
Leaders who make you feel safe.
Leaders who care.
Leaders who show you a future that you want to be a part of.
Leaders who don’t play games.
Leaders who are just real with you.
Do you notice the theme?
Great leaders start as better people.
They work on themselves.
They work on being their best selves.
They work on personal growth.
Leadership development is personal development.
If you want to be a successful leader you need to do the personal work.
Period.
