A friend of mine recently posted on Facebook what she thought successful leaders with whom she had worked had done and been. I want to share by quoting what she said. I think she understood the basics of good leadership.
1. They set clear expectations, communicated clearly, and did what I call a "check in"on a regular basis.
2. They focused on the strengths of others and affirmed those strengths regularly.
3. They made sure those under their leadership would know how to to carry on the practices, etc when they were gone.
That is a pretty great leadership course right there. Those of us who are in leadership roles would do well to check ourselves on these three points. Special thanks to my friend Danielle!
