Are you a dinosaur?

Bite sized leadership advice

Organisations are as adaptable as their leaders, yes that is you! Leadership is *the* biggest constraint any organisation has; in creativity, in flexibility, in empowerment.

Leaders walk-the-talk and others follow. If the leaders are creative, the organisation will follow, if the leaders are flexible or adaptable, the organisation will be too. If the leaders embody trust and empowerment the organisation will be empowered.

On the flip side; if the leaders are risk adverse, the organisation will be too, if the leaders do not trust, their teams will not be empowered. You get the idea.

In times of crisis, good leadership is demanded by an organisation, and your teams will demonstrate just how adaptable they are. The problem is not with your team, it is with you, their leader!

As leaders we get what we give.

How is that working for you right now?

Take a moment. What do you want from your organisation, or need in todays super-competitive, every upstart business with better technology is eating your lunch, times?

Look in the mirror.

If you are not getting what you want, or need, take an inventory; How you are showing up as a leader and what impact is that having on your team. What do you need to do differently?

Don’t be a dinosaur. Help your organisations and teams beat extinction.
