The weekend is a chance to pause and notice what your week was really teaching you about your leadership. Perhaps it was the way you responded under pressure. The conversations you leaned into (or avoided). The ways you tightened your grip. The moments you were at your best.
Leadership growth usually isn’t a major overhaul. It’s adjustments, practised consistently, until it becomes your new normal. That’s the one degree shift - and it compounds.
3 practical reflections (to take into the weekend):
Where did I feel most “activated” this week - and what one-degree shift would have helped (pause, ask, clarify, delegate, slow down)?
What did I do this week that I want more of in my leadership - and how will I repeat it on purpose next week?
- What’s the smallest experiment I can run next week that would make the biggest difference (one conversation, one expectation, one boundary, one handover)?
Pick one one-degree shift. Write it down. Make it your focus for next week.
And have a great weekend.
Michelle
