Show up- It's on the top of the list of our active values at Pilea. This doesn't mean you just have to step into the room and be there. Here's what is does mean: --We commit to showing up exactly as we are and doing our best work from this place. --We commit to playing full out, and saying what needs to be said - even when it's scary. --We commit to staying in relationship with each other, even when it's uncomfortable. This is a way in which every person can show up and be in their leadership. It also requires vulnerability and trust in the team, which is an active and ongoing practice. How are you showing up? #leadership #startups #leadershiptips

𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐩. We hear this all the time from founders. On those nights when you wake up at 4 am panic-stricken and unsure about how you are going to talk to your board at your meeting at 9 am. Will they take you seriously or see right through you? Or right before you walk into a room of investors about to ask them to fund your venture when you are secretly doubting that you can fill the CEO shoes. One of the things we provide at LIT is an intimate community of peers where leaders help each other grow and thoughtfully address the most pressing challenges and opportunities in their business. And where you can be vulnerable and let your guard down to share what is really going on. It is lonely at the top, but it doesn’t have to be. #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #leadersintech #vulnerability #authenticity #peergroup #ceos #founders #startups #emotionalintelligence

A text to a founder this morning prior to some good-sized discussions in her company: "Unfortunately employees describe the culture of XXX as consensus, but that really means that everyone’s complaints must get attention and be placated, which is different than people having different talents and criteria that need to be satisfied as a condition of working. The Manhattan Project vs. my teenage daughter and friends trying to decide on where to go on Friday night." Founders, don't let the idea of consensus overtake stability, profitability and efficiency, and don't confuse listening carefully and curiously to your team get confused with making everyone happy. #founders #entrepreneur #leaders #startupfounders #leadership
