At times, we all face moments of underperformance as leaders, whether due to deadlines, personal matters, or other stresses, which can lead us astray from our leadership path. It happens; we're human! Underperformance is not a sign of failure but an opportunity for growth. However, remaining vigilant and introspective prevents these moments from becoming the norm. What sets exceptional leaders apart is their ability to introspect, identify the roots of their challenges, and address them strategically. This continual self-evaluation and adaptation enhances our leadership skills and fosters a culture of resilience and growth within our teams. #Leadership #LeadershipSkills #LeadershipDevelopment

I have a book on the cardinal virtues publishing early next year and it has me thinking lately about why the vocabulary of virtue is absent in conversations around organizational leadership. So much attention is paid to performance outcomes and optimizing anything and everything to squeeze out some slight competitive advantage. That focus makes sense, of course; productivity is essential. But being too fixated with results usually corresponds with a neglect of cultivating real and lasting excellences of character. Who we are becoming is *far* more important than what we achieve. In fact our most meaningful achievements are downstream of character. We can achieve unsurpassed notoriety and acclaim at the cost of our own well being. Becoming virtuous is, in its own unique way, the path of real leadership. #leadership #excellence #productivity

True leadership isn't about climbing the corporate ladder; it's about lifting others as we climb. It is about empowering and enabling our teams to reach their full potential. Leadership also entails inspiring confidence and instilling a shared commitment to embracing challenges as opportunities for growth. Let's embrace this journey of leadership, not for personal gain, but to uplift and inspire others to reach new heights. Together, we can not only navigate turbulent waters but emerge stronger and more resilient than ever before. #leadership #teamempowerment #teambuilding #accaforlife

🤔 Wondering if you’re ready for a leadership role? ✅ Here are 10 traits to check for before taking the plunge 🥽 Thanks to Fast Company & Featured for including my thoughts in this article! I especially loved Chris Percival's take on leadership readiness as it certainly applies to leadership excellence overall, but is absolutely critical to successful leadership in #climate and #sustainability work: “The best people-centric leaders I see understand that leadership isn’t about being the best at everything but rather about drawing out the best ideas from others and empowering those better than them to undertake their respective functions.” Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/gr3TZNvQ #leadership
