Leadership can be challenging, and I often feel overwhelmed by everything involved in guiding a team toward a desired outcome. A leader’s role is to cast a vision, but I believe it’s not about pushing peopleāit’s about pulling them in. You help align their values and goals with the vision and then inspire them to follow you toward achieving it.
Once the vision is set, two concepts make leadership easier for me: setting an example and serving others. Though I’m far from perfect and continuing to learn, I strive to demonstrate excellence daily, living by my values. I also focus on serving others, helping them succeed by meeting them where they are and empowering them along their journey.
Leadership is not easy; it’s a lifelong journey of learning about yourself and how to empower others.
