A light-hearted reflection for the end of the week:
We all have natural leadership tendencies. The things that come easily. The qualities people rely on. The strengths that serve us well.
And sometimes, those same strengths can tip a little too far.
As you wrap up the week, here are three reflection questions to sit with:
1. What is one leadership strength I leaned on this week?
What came naturally to me that helped me lead well?
2. When might that strength become overused?
Where could a strength like determination, care, pace, strategy or loyalty start to work against me if I am not paying attention?
3. Where do I need a little more range next week?
Do I need to be more flexible, more direct, more patient, more open, or more willing to slow down and bring others with me?
Leadership gets better when we understand not just what we naturally bring, but what that asks of us too.
