“How hard can this be”? That is what I thought when I was promoted to my first leadership position. I would be the boss, I would have a team, we would have goals, I would divvy up the work and we would get it done right? How hard can it be?? Oh, to be young and naive again!!
If you are a leader, you know leadership is far more complex. If it were that easy, almost anyone could do it and do it pretty well. But, if you have ever had a “bad” boss, or felt like you have been a “bad” boss yourself, you know not everyone leads well all of the time.
One of the things that makes leadership complex is it involves humans. Our employees, our colleagues, our own bosses – all human. Humans have emotions, dreams, families, goals, desires, hopes and fears. And so do you. All of these influence how we behave. It can be beautiful and it can certainly be messy.
This blog is dedicated to helping leaders figure out how to simplify those influences, channel them, use them to your advantage and bring life to the aspirations you have for your leadership career.
