Life is just different right now.
It’s going to involve a new normal – at least temporarily.
This change, like all change, inevitably conjures up emotions. Common ones being fear and worry (as evidenced by the current toilet paper situation).
So how are we to best respond?
The short answer is “on purpose”. And here’s what I mean by that…
One of the best definitions I have ever heard of leadership came from my coach, Brooke Castillo:
“Leadership is going first without knowing the how.”
Here’s the thing. The state that we are all in right now is unprecedented. This means none of us know HOW to do life quite like it is right now.
Often, not knowing can create feelings of fear, worry, uncertainty, dread. This can be especially problematic for leaders. We may very well have our own worrisome, fearful thoughts going on AND we’re supposed to lead our, likely uneasy, team members at the same time? The good news is there is a solution that’s completely within reach.
If you have followed my work, you know I teach our thoughts create our feelings. It’s not this virus that has us in a tizzy! It’s our thoughts about this unprecedented situation that have us feeling fear and scrambling for toilet paper.
It’s entirely possible to prepare, lead and make wise decisions without the fear and worry. In fact, I would argue that addressing your fear and worry is exactly the thing you need to help you be the best leader you can be.
