Lately, I’ve been obsessed with ‘Change Leadership’ and the behaviors we can adopt to navigate this era that will be defined by constant change.
Our brains do wild things when we’re in states of uncertainty and fear. Fruitless loops of worrying and catastrophizing, for the temporary relief in the belief that if we can prepare, we won’t be rendered helpless.
My burning question is: How do you, as a leader, inspire your people when there is no 'token of hope' that you can offer?"
How can you get them to stay after their sense of loyalty or passion for the work has been diminished through layoffs, restructuring, and the general state of the world?
My answer: Connection.
How REAL you can be?
How you model humility in not having all the answers, and how you openly talk about the ways you’re thinking, operating, and maintaining optimism is what makes people trust that you can relate to and understand their fears.
The challenge, Dear leaders, is this: How can you tell a story of the future that instills a renewed sense of purpose and passion?
This is the question I invite you to consider as you adapt, inspire, and co-create a new vision.
In the meantime, please mind your mind.
