"Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other"
John F. Kennedy
Leadership in a corporate environment can be tough. It can be more than tough - at times it can be downright draining. Fighting fires, managing conflict and personality clashes within the team, and spinning too many plates at once can all take their toll.
Overwhelm is a very real issue. It takes the focus away from the things that really matter - growing the business, leading your team to success and fulfilment and moving forward with a sense of purpose in your role.
At this point, you might be wondering what it really takes to be an effective leader? How can you inspire from a place of integrity and authenticity rather than push from behind? How can you keep your team - particularly the younger members on it - motivated, excited and engaged? How can you do things differently, and communicate more effectively while still remaining true to yourself and your values as a leader?
