As a leader - no, I'm not going to start with the leader. We're passed that point.
It's no longer about the leader who's lonely at the top. It's rather about who takes the 'helm' depending on what needs to be done.
For so long we've focused on developing leaders only - leadership programs, coaching, full package.
Which also meant that we've focused on leadership once people 'have reached the top' - and, in more cases than one, that's a tad too late!
Leadership does not mean hierarchy. It doesn't mean titles. It means impact, reliability, trust.
Leadership means legacy.
In other words, how something that I've done will remain in place and benefit others, ideally long-term.
And for THAT, we don't need titles!
In so many cases, I've see wonderful displays of legacy from people who were at the beginning of their careers, just as I've seen displays of lack of leadership from people who had a 'leader' title.
When we're focused only on leading and not following, it becomes almost impossible to spot what everyone on the team can bring, their talents, their drive.
What also happens when we focus on the title is that - more often than not - the leader is no longer a 'team member', they're now only the 'team leader'.
And when the leader is no longer a team member, communication becomes difficult and the gap deepens.
That's why great leaders are also great followers! Especially in uncertainty!
Because that's when we need Team Leadership. That's when we need everyone to contribute to the best of their abilities. That's when we need to rely on everyone's strengths.
So, know yourself and your team!
Discuss, brainstorm and make decisions together. Have a clear idea of where you're going and what the best route is for you all to get there successfully.
And then, make sure that all team members get to drive that car.
Here's what will help you leave Your Legacy in this latest edition of the All Personal news:
Game Changing Work - a LIVE Show for dreamers and doers who are rebuilding the future of work
Lead for Legacy program for aspiring and current leaders and their teams
Free Webinar - 'Measure and Maximize Your Team's Impact to Grow Your Business in a Crisis'
'Seeing the Invisible so You Can Do the Impossible' - business ideas.
We don't leave our 'Personal Self' at home to go to work, and we don't leave our 'Professional Self' behind the desk in the office. Definitely not now!
Well, we never did that, anyway, as our Self has this tendency of following us everywhere we go, no matter what we call it:).
We all know that the Personal Self was definitely getting involved in our 'business stuff' and that our Professional Self was definitely coming back home with us.
What affects me personally will impact me on a professional level, too, AND the other way around.
This is for all of you, dreamers and doers, building Happy Careers, Dream Teams and Thriving Businesses in the midst of uncertainty and crisis!
We will be discussing all aspects of how what 'work different' means, agile topics and change that will maximize impact and bring in game-changing results!
Bring Your Own Coffee and join us live every Wednesday and Friday morning between 8.25 am - 8.55 am ET, and change the game, YOUR way!
