iListen. iLearn. iLead.
You might be a leader, but you don’t have all the answers all the time. Leadership involves listening, collaboration, partnerships, and team building. Sure, you may very well be the go-to, answer-person; but it’s quite likely your teammates have the answers within themselves already. This is interesting for two reasons. Firstly, because contrary to popular belief, leaders don’t have all the answers, even though they attract all the questions (and problems)! Secondly, it should come as a big relief that, as a leader, all you actually need to do well is empower your team to believe in themselves and their own judgment. It sure takes the pressure off having to be right all the time, doesn’t it? How do you bring out the best in your team?
