The HRart of It

I was the girl that cried all the time as a reaction to anything, because almost everything was just so overwhelming in regards to emotions that all I could do was cry. That was the only way I could process it, especially as a little girl. And then, as life went on, I taught myself that it was a sign of weakness and so I needed to toughen up, and pretty much my goal for majority of my life was don't cry. And if you do you gotta go hide somewhere so no one ever sees you crying because that means you're weak and incapable of handling life. That was the story that I told myself.

Part of being a leader, and this is one of the things that I believe is so different between a manager and a leader, is that a leader has to have the ability to see the vision, the vision for the organization, the vision for the team, and if they can't, it affects their ability to lead, so not only do you have to be able to know and understand the vision, you have to be able to understand it at a level that you can align with it and know at your core if you believe that you can align with it. In this episode, we explore how vision is the #5 reason as to why Leadership is Art.

If it's not taught in orientation, if it's not established by the organization, you can't just assume that people know. Reason #4 is very real and alive. It's something that we're all dealing with every day.

If you choose to cross a line, you should make sure that it is a meaningful cross. In this episode, we explore how the lines are the #3 reason as to why Leadership is Art.

Individuality that we all have is exactly what causes us to bring so much value to organizations, but with that incredible value, that incredible beauty of our own individual uniqueness comes this other piece which is the fun fact that it presents a lot of challenges. In this episode, we explore how they are the #2 reason as to why Leadership is Art.

Faking it till you make it does not work in Leadership, because it begins with YOU. This is the topic of this episode, as we explore how you are the number one reason as to why Leadership is Art.
