Leadership, like life, has many challenges, doesn’t it? I saw this the other day and it spark an interest to talk about it with you all.
We all know good and bad leaders that could fall on either side of those commas, but I think the true challenge of leadership is to find that balance and it really becomes a challenge within ourselves.
For me personally lately, I’ve found myself on both sides. Being timid leads to indecision and creates frustration amongst your team. People want leaders to make the decisions but make them informed and with information.
Weakness shows itself but you can be kind and caring while having to execute a hard decision. Same can be said for pride versus arrogance. You get the picture.
I hope this short email and the picture above inspires you to think and evaluate your personal leadership style.
Lead forward
