These questions resonate deeply with anyone in a leadership role! Leaders of the People Acknowledging self-doubt is a sign of strength and a commitment to growth. Embracing these uncertainties can foster authenticity and strengthen connections with the team, ultimately enhancing our leadership effectiveness. What a valuable reminder!

I love how you framed it. Embracing those doubts actually pushes you to grow and build stronger connections with your team. It’s all part of the process.

Most new leaders struggle with the transition into their role. Here’s how you can fix it by focusing on these 3 key areas: 1. Understand Your New Leadership Role Clearly - Who are you as a leader? - How will success be measured? - Why should your team trust and follow you? 2. Develop Human-Centric Skills - Learn how to handle conflicts effectively. - Focus on improving communication with your team. - Support your team’s growth, not just your own performance. 3. Leverage Emotional Intelligence - Understand that leading people is more than managing data. - Recognize and navigate the emotional dynamics within your team. - Build trust by showing empathy and understanding. Most new leaders struggle with these areas, especially if human skills aren’t their strength. They focus on the technical side and neglect the emotional complexity of leadership. Wrong. Succeeding in a new leadership role is about MAKING THE TEAM SUCCEED. If you're struggling to build trust with your team & managing conflicts, join my 6 month tailored coaching program to get the support you need and confidently lead your team to success: https://www.rfr.bz/lnam8hm Then, go become that leader you were always meant to be.

What makes you a leader? Leadership isn't a title. Justin Wright proposes it includes 8 key things: 1️⃣ Your actions 2️⃣ Your attitude 3️⃣ Your behavior 4️⃣ Your drive 5️⃣ Your empathy 6️⃣ Your example 7️⃣ Your integrity And most of all: 8️⃣ Your team's respect “Leadership isn't handed to you. It's what you do daily.” - Justin Wright “Want to lead? Start now—in your current role. It doesn't matter where you are in the org chart.” - Justin Wright 5 Quick Tips to Begin Leading Today by Justin Wright: 1/ Be Proactive: Don't wait for instructions. Identify areas that need improvement. Take the 1st step to address them. 2/ Influence Others: Inspire those around you. Leaders do this by: • Setting a good example • Offering others a listening ear • Rallying a team to meet a shared goal 3/ Make Decisions: Leaders are decision-makers. No need to make monumental choices. Even small decisions can set you apart as proactive. 4/ Be Accountable: Own your actions and decisions. Accept responsibility, both for wins and mistakes. 5/ Communicate Clearly: Keep others informed. Share your vision and provide clear guidance. Leadership is a behavior. You can start at any moment. And in any role. Acknowledgment: this is a repost of an original post by Justin Wright - I highly recommend following on LinkedIn for his relevant and useful content.

Love this image so much. I studied educational leadership for my MEd and it made me think so deeply about who I am as a leader and the imapct that has on others. I wonder if you get better at different sections? How much of it is built in? I also wonder how you draw upon and maximise different sections in different settings? Would you add anything? I would add your ability to communicate and your belief. #educationalleadership #leadership #leadershipbehaviours

Leadership isn't merely about holding a title or occupying a particular position; it's about influence, inspiration, and action. What makes me a leader is my ability to inspire and motivate others, to lead by example, and to foster a sense of purpose and direction within a team or community. I believe in empowering those around me, encouraging collaboration, and cultivating a culture of trust and accountability. True leadership is about making a positive impact, guiding others towards shared goals, and being a source of support and guidance in times of challenge and uncertainty.

Want to make the leap from manager to leader? This guide is here to help you. It has: → 4 steps to elevate your leadership. → A Manager to Leader Diagnostic Tool to understand your gaps → 36 targeted actions to focus your development Your team is waiting for you to step up and lead them.
