Reflections on Leadership

Every once in a while, a set of events line up and become a catalyst for change. Some of us are blindsided and harshly jostled into reality, and some of us willfully stay blind, refusing to believe the game board has shifted, and that there are new rules to learn. Others fear the changes will be no more than a blip before fading into memory, ignored beneath the sands of time.

Music: “Soaring High” by Biz Baz Studio

The world is changing. That’s always true, but 2020 has amplified the sentiment. Not everyone wants the changes, nor is everyone prepared. That’s irrelevant. The change is happening. Whether positive or negative, progressive or regressive, peaceful or bloody in part depends on you. You see, the one thing change will no longer tolerate is casual indifference.

For those who need to hear it, particularly the freelancers, independent business owners, the ambitious and the inspired but unsure, repeat after me, “Yes, I am a leader.”

We do not need better worriers, whiners, blamers, or complainers. Many already excel in those endeavors. What is required is better leadership. Commit to emerging from this crisis better than you entered it, and help others along the way.

The "Strengthen Your Leadership Series" is a companion to the free email course bit.ly/STRENGTHENYOURLEADERSHIP

The world needs stronger leadership. Strengthen Your Leadership so that you can lead yourself, your team, organization, or business through these unusual times.

The point of looking back is to see the progress you’ve made. This is the 17th and final episode of the Strengthen Your Leadership Series. I hope you have enjoyed it and will use the tools you’ve gained to manage better and lead well.

Many people dread looking back, but answering a few questions will help prepare you for a better tomorrow. If you are naturally introspective, review the following questions while sitting with a cup of coffee. If you are naturally social, you might want to call on other participants of your project and interview each other.

An After Action Review can be used at any milestone, but certainly, after any significant initiative.

You might think working with you is a dream. You’re in your head all day, so you know your intentions and beliefs better than anyone else, and I am sure they all sound reasonable. The problem is; no one else is in there with you. Even your closest allies, those who know you inside and out, are sometimes surprised by your actions.

Why?

Because you are not nearly as clear as you think you are. You didn’t come with a user guide, and you’re kind of hard to figure out.

The world needs stronger leadership. Strengthen Your Leadership so that you can lead yourself, your team, organization, or business through these unusual times.

Your attitude, your appearance, and your approach are the three building blocks of your leadership agenda. Your leadership agenda is how you plan on guiding your organization in the coming months. “Organization” can be your family, your department, your company, your squad, your bowling league, any entity you are part of leading and trying to take someplace different from where you are today.
