The secret to leadership
Key Takeaways
Your journey to leadership starts with learning to become well-led. If you are not teachable, cooperative, or accountable, then you will lack the resources and experiences that would have made you into a great and effective leader.
Every part of our life wants a little piece of our time and when we keep letting people take, without giving ourselves any care, then we’ll end up burning out. Slow down the chaos, check out so that you can check-in.
Instead of putting out fires all the time, slow down and find out who’s holding the matches. Which parts of the process are the most prone to danger? There will be three buckets in your organization, and the goal is to move each bucket higher than where it is.
The secret to leadership is that there’s no secret. You’ve got to work hard and align with the mission and vision of the organization. Focus on getting the right people on the team, who apply the team’s core values.
“Learning how to work with people, learning how to be well led, I think is an important part of leadership in general” — Jeff Eschliman
