Leadership
Great leaders recognize their role in creating a culture where leadership is for
everyone. It’s not about role, title or formal positions, but about the qualities a person
possesses and nurtures. Nurturing a practice of intentional leadership within all
employees is essential to lasting organizational health.
How Leadership Works
​
Leadership is a mindset, and effective leaders share four key practices that can be
developed and strengthened. When the practice of intentional leadership reaches a
tipping point, it spreads like wildfire and becomes an organizational superpower.
​
Building Blocks of Leadership
​
Self-Awareness: The intentional way leaders regularly seek to learn more about themselves and how they are seen.
Support/ Challenge: The ability to be understanding and highly supportive while also holding high expectations and challenging one to do their best work.
Curiosity: Continuous learning and embracing new possibilities and perspectives.
Vulnerability: Having the courage to be our true self at work, enabling us to connect.
