McKinnon Leadership Group’s Post

Why are authentic leaders so effective? They have a heightened awareness of their spiritual dimension. They've spent time learning about themselves—their identity, purpose, and values. They know who they are and lead out of this self-knowledge. The more people see you as authentic, the greater chance they will trust you, and, in turn, give you their best. Without authentic leadership, it’s only a matter of time before #trust deteriorates, and without trust, teams become dysfunctional. How do you lead from your spiritual dimension? This is a big question—one we spend a lot of time discussing with leaders in #TheMcKinnonWay. The first step is greater awareness. In coaching, I use prompts to help leaders start this journey toward spiritual self-awareness. Consider how you would complete these prompts: 'I feel most alive when…' 'I want my legacy to be…' 'I find my greatest joy in…' Spend time reflecting on these prompts, and see what they reveal about your core. Authentic leadership starts with knowing yourself. #Leadership #Authenticity #TrustInLeadership #FourDimensionalLeadership #SelfAwareness
