LEADERSHIP

Leadership can be described as the act of guiding or influencing other individuals or groups. Experienced leaders will come to know that flexibility in their approach is one of the key components to being an effective leader. While it is important to stick to their core values, leaders must adapt to ongoing situations and be ready to take the initiative to navigate what is present. You cannot predict the future, instead, it is important to support your vision with a set of flexible approaches. In recent times, the ongoing global pandemic has brought challenges to everyone in their own unique circumstances. While all challenges are different, leaders across the globe faced three main challenges: Safety, Engagement, & Support.

Something that all leaders should take into the future as we navigate the possibilities of returning to a hybrid of in-person and online alternatives, is that being supportive of those around you can make you a great leader. As many of us continue navigating distance learning and events, we understand how draining and difficult it can be on our health to sit behind a computer screen all day. As leaders, it is key to be supportive of not only those you are leading but also yourself. This can be as simple as having a one-on-one conversation with those around you, check-in on their life outside of what your connection is to them. Make sure you are providing them with the resources they need to succeed

Most importantly be supportive and remind them that their success is dependent on their own self-care. It all stems from within, if you take care of yourself then you will shine with the ability to lead those around you.
