Leadership is the ability to influence and guide followers, so in this second of a four-blog series looking at the leadership perspectives of Self, Others, Work and Movement, I explore leading others.
If you missed the last one on Self-Leadership then check that out first - if you don't know who you are, what you're leading for, then leading others will be a struggle!
Are you proud of the way you lead others?
This may be your team, your peers, your partners, clients, followers, or other community or movement members (more on the latter in blog four).
I'm sure, like me, there are elements of your leadership you have strengths in, others you are working on, and some you have blind spots an insecurities about. That's OK, you're human.
The question is, am I working on it?
And to do this, self-awareness is queen, so here's a teaser of just three questions each from My Positive Leadership Model - to help you celebrate your strengths, journey so far, and blind spots in the way you lead others.
